The Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors will resume their NBA Playoff battle in Game 2 at the Toyota Center on Wednesday night. The Warriors secured a 95-85 victory on Sunday to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Coming into the Playoffs, there were concerns over how the Houston Rockets would fare with as many as five of their players making their Playoff debut against the tried and tested Warriors.
Unfortunately for Houston, outside of Alperen Sengun, the likes of Tari Eason and Jalen Green severely underperformed. The latter, who was the team’s leading scorer this season, shot just 3 of 15 from the field.
As a team, the Rockets managed only a 39% shot conversion from the field, and while they did win the rebound battle, they cannot expect that to be good enough to beat GSW’s sharpshooters.
Meanwhile, the victory in Game 1 marked the 100th Playoff win for Steve Kerr, and Stephen Curry, who has been with Kerr for his century of Playoff triumphs, led the team with 31 points on 12 of 19 shooting.
Jimmy Butler, who has helped the Warriors to a record of 25-8 since his arrival at the trade deadline, impressed again, adding 25 points, seven rebounds and five steals.
However, while Curry and Butler deserve their plaudits, do not overlook just how good Golden State were on the defensive end, as holding the number two seed to just 85 points is a massive achievement in itself.

Our Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
Despite losing Game 1, the Rockets are installed as favourites in this match, and one thing is for sure, they are almost certain to try and come out hot from the tip-off to level the series.
However, the Warriors' Playoff experience cannot be overlooked, and they are 8-2 SU and ATS against this opponent in their last 10 games. Additionally, Butler’s arrival has been massive, not only because of his own performance but in lightening the load on Curry, who looks as deadly as ever of late. Thus, we’re grabbing the free points on the visitors in this one. Our Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors prediction is Golden State Warriors +3.5.
