Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors game preview

The Rockets wrap up their season series against the red-hot Warriors

The Golden State Warriors are on a roll.

The Dubs have won five straight games, including the last three games coming against teams ahead of them (at the time) in the standings. That streak continues tonight when they take on another team ahead of them, the 2 seed Houston Rockets.

The Warriors have already wrapped up the season series tiebreaker against Houston. They would need to win out and would need to see the Rockets lose out to catch them in the standings. Based on Golden State’s play and Houston’s upcoming schedule, that doesn’t look impossible.

Still, the Rockets won a big game against the Thunder that many thought they would lose, and are riding some good play of their own. Houston is on the nightmare California road trip, which has haunted them the last couple of seasons. Add that to the nightmare that the Warriors have been to the franchise in general, and the Warriors -4.5 line looks pretty tasty.

The key for Houston will be the play of Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun. Both are coming off great nights against OKC, but both play poorly against the Warriors. For Green, his true shooting percentage against the Dubs in his career would have him at the very bottom of the league by a wide margin. Sengun isn’t able to get into his moves against the Warriors thanks to Draymond Green, Kevon Looney, and Golden State’s swarming defense.

The Warriors make teams pay for turning the ball over. Live ball turnovers usually lead to Steph Curry 3s and Jimmy Butler layups. The Rockets have to take care of the ball and not lose Curry or Golden State’s bevy of cutters and shooters.

We’ll be in the Playback room tonight, so you should come join to watch the Rockets and talk about the game. Remember, we get a handful of VIP passes that we give out to anyone who wants to watch the game. No League Pass necessary!
