The Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets collide at the Toyota Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Prediction. This article will include a Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Pick.

Golden State Warriors Betting Preview

The Golden State Warriors have been in decent form as they've won five of their last nine games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after having their two-game win streak halted by the Mavericks in a 111-107 road defeat last night. Stephen Curry turned it on late to lead the team with 25 points and eight assists on nine of 23 shooting, Jimmy Butler added 21 points with nine rebounds and seven assists while Draymond Green tallied 13 points with five rebounds and five assists. As a team, the Warriors shot just 42 percent from the field and 10 of 35 from the 3-point line as they showed plenty of fight to claw their way back from a 15-point deficit, only to come up painfully short as Butler committed an offensive foul on the potential game-tying basket in the final seconds. 

Houston Rockets Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Houston Rockets look to have moved on from their ugly six-game losing streak as they are now gunning for a third straight win after outlasting the Suns in a 119-111 home win last night. Tari Eason led the team with 25 points, nine rebounds, and four assists on 11 of 16 shooting, Jalen Green added 22 points with five assists while Amen Thompson and Dillon Brooks scored 18 points apiece. As a team, the Rockets shot 47 percent from the field and 13 of 42 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Suns early on and trailed for most of the contest before they played excellent defense to limit the Suns to just 19 points in the fourth quarter to overcome an 11-point deficit and escape with the gritty win at home. The Rockets will take on the Wolves after this game.

  • The Warriors have lost each of their last four games against Western Conference opponents.
  • The Warriors have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games against Western Conference opponents.

  • The Rockets have lost each of their last four home games on the second leg of a back-to-back against the Warriors.
  • The Rockets have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games at Toyota Center following a win.
  • The Warriors have covered the spread in eight of their last nine games on the second leg of a back-to-back against the Rockets.

Matchup/League Facts

  • The Rockets rank 1st in the league for offensive rebounds per game this season (14.7).

Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Warriors are still slightly shorthanded with Jonathan Kuminga still out, while the Rockets are still missing Fred VanVleet, Tari Eason, and Steven Adams. The Warriors will be gutted with last night's tough loss to the Mavericks, but they have won two of three meetings against the Rockets this season and I think they can bounce back and pull off the minor upset against a depleted Rockets squad.
