The Houston Rockets have been god awful for much of the last month or so, but they've been more competitive recently and are losing their last five games by an average of just 3.4 points. The Golden State Warriors have been shaky at best since Draymond has been out, and they're not easy to trust here with them on the end of a back to back with a game that included overtime. Possible tired legs for the Warriors here. It's Rockets and the points or pass for me.
