Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets: Current situation
Losing Draymond Green to a calf injury is the last thing this Warriors team needed as they try to dig themselves out of the hole they’re in right now. Steve Kerr is close to hitting that panic button, Golden State has dropped 5 places in the West standings and is currently in a play-in position. The good news is we are still only in December and there is plenty of time to turn things around. This team has the experience on their side, but it would not be a surprise if they made some moves before the trade deadline to boost their roster.
A total of 7 players on this Houston Rockets team averages double-digit points, which is a rare stat nowadays in the NBA. Their high point man is Jalen Green at 18.9 per game, it is hard to recognize from which angle the danger will come on a nightly basis. Bettors also love this team – Houston has covered the spread 15 times in 21 games this season which makes them one of the more consistent teams in the entire NBA.
Golden State Warriors Stats & Form
With this current 5 game losing streak, the Warriors have dropped all the way down to 7th place in the Western Conference, after occupying the first two spots for a decent chunk of the season. Stephen Curry has had injury issues, but he is now back and playing. However, he too needs to step up his play after failing to shoot 50% in his last 5 outings. Draymond Green is likely going to sit this one out with a calf issue. His absence will be felt as he is the glue that holds everything together for Golden State.
Houston Rockets Stats & Form
Back-to-back overtime wins over Minnesota and Philadelphia didn’t have a negative effect on the Houston Rockets who won their 3rd game in a row by beating the OKC Thunder on Monday. Fred VanVleet exploded for 38 points, the Rockets showed a lot of character by winning a game in which they shot just 41% from the field. Ime Udoka has this team playing elite defense on a nightly basis, there are no egos on this roster and they are looking like a real threat in the Western Conference right now.
Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets: Head-to-Head
To say that the Warriors have dominated this match-up would be an understatement. Golden State is currently on a 14-game win streak in head-to-head meetings, dating back all the way to the 2019-20 season. Since then they’ve won 4 regular season series in a row, they are also on a 6-game win streak in games played at Chase Center against the Rockets. However, even with this win streak they are still behind in the all-time regular season series 126-108.

Betting tip and prediction: Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets (05.12.2024)
Golden State needs a result and they need it badly. They’re in midst of their worst losing streak of the season, having dropped 5 games in a row. The performances of Stephen Curry have been worrisome, he hasn’t shot 50% from the field in 5 straight games, could it be that father time is finally catching up to him? The Rockets are one of his favorite opponents, he’s averaging 29 points per game in the last 5 meetings, so it will be interesting to see if he can get out of his slump. Houston will make life difficult for him, they have the 3rd best defensive rating in the NBA this season. They also excel at defending the three-ball, opponents are making just 34.3% of shots against them. With not a single player averaging 20+ points per game on the roster, the Rockets are the epitome of what team play is all about. They’ll be seeking revenge here after losing the first meeting of the season 127-121 about a month ago. We just witnessed them beat the West leading OKC Thunder 119-116 and with that type of momentum they’re taking on a struggling Warriors team. With Draymond Green potentially missing this game, we just feel like the toughness of the Rockets will give them the edge. Back the road team to cover the spread.
