Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets Preview & Picks
Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors Preview & Picks
Houston are tipped to cover as a betting underdog on the road.
Jimmy Butler’s injury had a big impact on Golden State in Game 2, and if he sits this one out we like Houston’s chances of dominating on the boards and, at the very least, covering the spread.
- Houston Rockets won by 10 points at Golden State on April 6
- Houston Rockets are 6-3 in their previous 9 road games
- Golden State Warriors are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 home games
- The Under cashed in 6 of the last 7 meetings
Head To Head
- Houston Rockets lead the all-time series 136-127
- Houston Rockets won 109-94 when the two teams last met on April 23
Golden State Warriors Form
Houston head out on the road having bounced back from a series-opening defeat with a victory in Game 2.
The Rockets opened up this series at home but failed to take full advantage as they split their first two games with the Rockets.
They lost the opening matchup 95-85, only to rebound in Game 2 with a 109-94 victory.
Houston secured their place in the playoffs by compiling a 52-30 record to finish second in the Western Conference standings.
In doing so, the Rockets ended a five-year absence from the NBA’s postseason.
Houston Rockets Form
Golden State return home in a strong position in the series, having won one of their two games in Houston.
The Warriors made an ideal start to the postseason as they downed the Rockets 95-85 in the series opener.
However, they lost Jimmy Butler to injury in Game 2 and missed out on the chance to double their series lead as they lost 109-94.
Golden State earned their place in the playoffs by going 48-34 in the regular season and successfully navigating the Play-In Tournament.
The Warriors took their second chance to make the postseason by beating Memphis 121-116.
Verdict
Houston took full advantage of Jimmy Butler leaving Game 2, running out comfortable winners.
Butler’s status for Game 3 is huge, and if he sits this one out we like the Rockets’ chances of covering the spread at the very least.
