Rockets at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 123, Rockets 110

Moneyline

PASS.

The Warriors should be able to secure the victory at home, but betting them straight up isn’t worth the risk at the current odds (-500).

Against the spread

BET WARRIORS -10.5 (-105).

The Rockets are in full tank mode with Green and Porter sidelined. Houston is also 10-20 ATS on the road and Golden State is 17-11-1 ATS at home this season.

Over/Under

Even with Green and Porter out for the Rockets, the Warriors should have F Klay Thompson on the back-to-back, making the OVER 231.5 (-108) an enticing bet. Golden State plays at the fastest pace in the league, and Houston has the 3rd-worst defensive rating in the NBA.

The Rockets are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record, and the Warriors have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 games following an ATS loss.

Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Rockets (14-32) wrap up their five-game road trip Friday against the Golden State Warriors (32-13). Tip-off is 10 p.m. ET at Chase Center. Below, we look at the Rockets vs. Warriors odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Rockets are 3-1 on their road trip and have won two games in a row. They had lost 11 of 12 games prior to their road trip. Houston’s 116.5 points allowed per game ranks last in the league.

The Warriors are playing the third game of a seven-game homestand and they have been scuffling. They are 3-6 in their last nine games and lost to the Indiana Pacers at home Thursday despite being double-digit favorites. Golden State is 3-4 since G Klay Thompson returned.

Rockets at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 121, Rockets 109

Money line

The Warriors are a little confusing right now. They had won seven of their previous eight home games but were upset Thursday night 121-117 by the Pacers.

The Rockets have won three of four but I just don’t have the confidence to see them handing Golden State a second straight home loss.

PASS on the money line.

Against the spread

The Rockets have been playing better and have covered the spread in all three of their wins across their last four games. However, don’t bet on them unless you think they will beat the Warriors outright — they have not covered the spread in a loss since Dec. 11.

The Warriors have covered the spread in 25 of their 32 victories, and have covered the spread in seven of their last eight wins.

I expect a bounceback game from Golden State. Take the WARRIORS -10.5 (-108).

Over/Under

Four of the last six games for the Warriors have gone Over the projected total.

Eight of the last 12 games for the Rockets have hit the Over.

The Rockets give up the most points in the game and have scored 114 or more in four straight.

Take OVER 228.5 (-108).

Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Houston Rockets (1-8) visit Chase Center Sunday for an 8:30 p.m. ET tip off with the Golden State Warriors (7-1). Below, we look at the Rockets at Warriors odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

After being up single digits at half against the New Orleans Pelicans Friday, the Warriors showed their class and ended up winning by 41 (126-85). They outscored New Orleans by more than 15 points in each of the last two quarters.

The Dubs are led by G Stephen Curry, but they are far more than just the two-time MVP as three-time All-Star F Draymond Green has stepped up in a big way.

As for the Rockets, they’ve been led by C Christian Wood. SG Jalen Green, the No. 2 overall pick in the most-recent NBA Draft, has been solid for Houston as well.

Both teams are positive against the spread. The Rockets, who are major underdogs Sunday, are 5-4 ATS, while the Warriors are 5-3 ATS.

Rockets at Warriors odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 112, Rockets 104

Money line

PASS. The Rockets have a tad bit of value at +600, but I’m not betting on them to win and I wouldn’t advise you do either. It is the better side than the Warriors’ -1000 though.

Against the spread

BET ROCKETS +11.5 (-108) as they should be able to hold down the Warriors.

G Kevin Porter Jr. and Green are athletic and should be able to track Curry and SG Jordan Poole. The Rockets’ strength is their defense, and having been giving double-figure points, I prefer Houston.

The Warriors have won three straight games by 20-plus points. While they’re a quality side, this streak has to end eventually. Houston has a star center, and Wood should be able to abuse Golden State C Kevon Looney with his offensive skill set some.

The Rockets lost to the Denver Nuggets 95-94 Saturday. On the season, they have the sixth-best opponents’ 3-point rate. They should be able to tame Golden State’s 3-point heavy players like Poole, Curry and G Damion Lee.

With that in mind, the Rockets should be able to keep it close.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 220.5 (-112) as Houston struggled immensely against Denver Saturday. Sure, Houston lost, but its defense held up against Denver MVP C Nikola Jokic. Both teams didn’t even reach 100 points.

The Rockets are 2-7 on the Over/Under with the Warriors 1-7. Golden State has been dominant on the Under because of its league-best defense.

With the Rockets a younger team, I’d prefer the experience, defensive-savvy team leading the way. Also, the Rockets are a bottom-three team in offensive rating.

Keeping that in mind, I’m cooking the Under.

Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors NBA odds and lines, with basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Golden State Warriors (24-28) host the Houston Rockets (14-38) Saturday for a 10 p.m. ET tip-off at the Chase Center. Below, we analyze the Rockets-Warriors odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.

Houston got clubbed last night 126-109 by the Los Angeles Clippers as 11-point road underdogs to start its three-game Pacific Division road swing. The Rockets are just 1-6 overall and 3-4 against the spread over their last seven games.

Golden State lost a 110-107 nail-biter to the Washington Wizards last night as 7.5-point home favorites. Over the past two weeks, the Warriors 2-5 overall and ATS.

The Warriors beat up on the Rockets 108-94 as 11-point road favorites on St. Patty’s Day, but this was before Houston added PF Kelly Olynyk at the trade deadline and Rockets PG John Wall was sidelined with injury.

Rockets at Warriors: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Warriors 117, Rockets 112

Money line (ML)

PASS with a slight “LEAN” to the Rockets (+300) because I “LIKE” Houston to cover the spread and often will sprinkle on an underdog’s money line if betting them ATS.

What’s stopping me is the Warriors (-375) have a lot more to play for and just lost a heartbreaker to the Washington Wizards last night.

Golden State is only ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans for 10th in the Western Conference—which is the final seed for the postseason play-in tournament—so the Warriors need to stack wins.

Against the spread (ATS)

This is a better spot for Houston than Golden State.

One of the only non-terrible situational trends for the Rockets is their 10-11 ATS record as a road dog this season. The Warriors are 3-8 ATS on the second of a back-to-back with the 3rd-worst ATS margin (minus-7.3 points).

The “sharp” side of the market agrees with this as well.

According to Pregame.com, more money is on the Rockets to cover while more bets have been placed on the Warriors laying the points, and bookmakers have moved this line down from Golden State being favored 10 points on the opener.

The money column is generally considered “sharp money” with the tickets column being the “average Joe”, and we want to follow the money – especially because of the line movement.

BET ROCKETS +8.5 (-110) for 1 unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 227.5 (-110) for a quarter-unit, if at all, because my predicted score isn’t that far off BetMGM‘s projected total.

However, there’s inherent value on the Over in this spot since the Warriors only scored 107 last night vs. a terrible Washington defense and because Houston’s former generational scorer (James Harden) forced his way out.

That being said, I definitely prefer Houston’s spread more than the total in Rockets-Warriors.
