Warriors at Rockets: Live stream, how to watch, TV channel, rookie watch, previous result, start time on March 17

After an ugly to the Lakers at home, the Warriors open a three-game road trip. Here are all the details for Wednesday’s matchup against the Houston Rockets.

While the Golden State Warriors have dropped five of their last six games, the Houston Rockets have built quite the slump of their own. After falling to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday, the Rockets are riding a franchise record-tying 17 game losing streak.

On Wednesday, the pair of struggling teams will meet at the Toyota Center in the lone star state.

In the first contest of a three-game road swing, the Warriors will be without two key contributors off the bench. Eric Paschall and rookie James Wiseman have been ruled out against the Rockets due to entering the league’s health and safety protocol.

While the Warriors will feature a depleted rotation, the Rockets will receive reinforcements on Wednesday. After missing the entirety of Houston’s 17 game losing streak, Christian Wood will make his return to the lineup. Prior to injuring his ankle, Wood led the rockets with 22.0 points on 52.3% shooting from the field and 10.2 boards per contest.

To start their road trip on a positive note, the Warriors will need to contain Wood to slow down the Rockets. Here are all the details you need to know before Golden State’s battle against Houston.
