There’s no doubt that the game of the night will be the Golden State Warriors' third battle with the Houston Rockets this season. Both teams have qualified for the playoffs, but the Rockets can still improve their position in the final five games, while the Warriors must prepare for a qualification knockout game. Stick around for our Warriors vs Rockets match prediction.
The Warriors' recent run has painted a vivid picture of the team’s true quality at this point. They’ve now lost their last three games to the Cavaliers, Spurs, and Nuggets following their three-game winning streak.
But that winning streak has been called into question, considering that they came against some of the worst teams all season, including the Wizards (last-placed), Nets (28th), and Mavericks (25th). And before those three games, GSW also lost the three prior, making a poor case for their chances tonight.
The Rockets, meanwhile, are flying high with five straight wins that just ended with a 140-106 blowout against the Utah Jazz. In this stadium earlier this season, the Rockets managed a slim 104-100 victory with the likes of Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler on the court. Without those stars, the Rockets, who hold the current second-longest streak, will be eying a sixth here.

Our Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Prediction
With Butler still out and Curry listed as doubtful, the Rockets will essentially be entering with a far stronger squad, with Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson, and Jabari Smith all available. Already, we’ve seen how the Warriors easily buckle against serious opponents, with all of their 14 wins in the last 15 games coming against the bottom six teams.
What’s more, the visiting Rockets boast the 8th-best offensive rating and 6th-best defensive rating today. Hence, our Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets prediction is that the Houston Rockets wins.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
