Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors Preview

On the season the Rockets are 58-40 ATS and they have an O/U record of 50-48 and the Warriors are 53-42-1 ATS and they have an O/U record of 42-53-1.

This season the Warriors are 45-3 at home and the Rockets are 27-20 on the road.

In Game 4 of this series in Houston the Rockets beat the Warriors 128-115.

The Rockets showed in Game 4 that they will not roll over in this series, but to win this series and make NBA history they will have to beat the Warriors twice on their home floor where they have only 3 losses all season.

Houston is a big 10.5 point betting underdog and they were the same in the first 2 games of this series at Golden State where they lost both games, but covered the spread in both.

The Rockets came out firing in Game 4 and they had a 23-point lead after the first quarter. To say their offense was en feugo in the game would be an understatement, as they shot 56.6% from the floor and hit on over 50% of their 3-pointers (17-32).

James Harden went for 45 points in the game and the Rockets had every starter score in double figures.

One of the main reasons the Rockets won Game 4 was that MVP Stephen Curry did not have a big game. He was decent going for 24 points, but was only 7/18 from the floor.

In the game the Warriors did hit 20- 3-pointers, but they still lost and the Rockets need to key on not letting Curry beat them.

Another reason the Rockets won Game 4 is they were not killed on the glass like in Game 3. Dwight Howard went for 12 boards and he and the other big guys have to play well on the glass again.

Josh Smith and Trevor Ariza combined to score 37 points in the Game 4 win and the Rockets supporting cast has to step up again.

The total for Games 1-3 went Under every time and the Rockets lost each game. The total went Over for Game 4 and for the Rockets to win again they may have to light up the scoreboard again and Harden needs to have another big game.

The Rockets have not won at Golden State since the 2013-2014 season.
