Rockets at Warriors picks and predictions
Prediction
Warriors 112, Rockets 107
Moneyline
While the Warriors are favored to secure the win at home, I’ll PASS on their moneyline in this contest. Taking any team at -275 odds to win straight up isn’t worth the risk.
Against the spread
ROCKETS +6.5 (-105) is the play in this matchup as the Warriors have been out of sorts in recent games. C Alperen Sengun should have success down low with the lack of size Golden State possesses, and the Warriors lack consistent scoring outside of G Stephen Curry.
The Rockets are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall, while the Warriors are 3-7 ATS in their last 10.
Over/Under
UNDER 219.5 (-105) is the lean as the Rockets play at the 2nd-slowest pace in the NBA. Even though it’s a pace-up game for Houston, it is also 4th in defensive rating.
The Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings overall. The Rockets have also gone Under in each of their last 5 games overall.
