Warriors vs Rockets Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rockets listed as a 5.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rockets have looked good in their games this season with their 8-3 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They have looked great on their home court too with their 5-1 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Warriors have looked good in their games this season with their 8-3 record overall which has them in the top half of the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 2-2 road record this year. The Warriors had a terrible start to the season going 0-3, but they have been rolling since that bad start. They have won 8 games in a row now and they have a ton of momentum on their side. They are coming off a win over the Pelicans in their last one and they have been picking up a lot of wins against good opponents too, but a majority of their wins have also been at home where they have looked a lot better. The Rockets have also been rolling lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games and they have looked like one of the best teams in the NBA this year. They have a much improved offense this season with a star player in Kevin Durant leading the way, and they still have one of the best defenses in the NBA too. They are coming off a big win over the Nuggets in their last one and they have looked a lot better on their home court this year. The Warriors have definitely looked great lately, but this is still a team that lost 3 in a row to start the season and that streak isn't going to last forever. The Rockets have the talent to win this game at home with ease with their better efforts on the defensive end being a key factor. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rockets to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“We have a chance to be, I think, a top 10 offense and defense. And that’s what it takes to be a great team in this league and a real contender. And that’s our goal. Our defense has been improving dramatically the last couple weeks. Offensively, we’re obviously shooting the ball really well. It’s gonna get a lot harder now on the road, so it’s a really good homestand and we got a long way to go. We just have to try to carry the momentum forward.” - Steve Kerr after his team’s win against the Pelicans in their game on Monday.
“I think a lot of times we can just run at it until they stop, and I think that’s what we did in the fourth, you know. Jokic, um, they’re not a real defensive team, so when they can like pack the paint and trap the ball and just play off of shooters and not have to make the second and third effort, they’re a good defensive team.” - Kevin Durant after their win against the Nuggets in their game on Monday.
