Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Prediction
We’ve backed the Houston Rockets a lot this season and for good reason, as they’re 16-8 ATS and SU on the season. However, the value is with the Warriors and the points as they’ve not only beaten the Rockets in 15 straight games, but they’re a veteran team that still enjoys getting up for big games. Curry and others still thrive in these moments. The Rockets haven’t beaten the Warriors since February 2020 and that includes a loss last week as a four-point favorite. Give me the Warriors and the free bucket.Â
