The Golden State Warriors fell to the Indiana Pacers last night in overtime. That was their sixth loss in the last 10 games, continuing their rough spell. Tonight, they host the Houston Rockets, who have won two games in a row. Houston is a game away from the Thunder in the standings and finally being out of the basement in the Western conference. Can they get out of last place tonight?

Here are the odds for the matchup via WynnBET.

Rockets vs. Warriors Prediction and Pick

Although the Warriors are one of the best teams in the league, their play as of late doesn't lead me to trust them tonight. Golden State lost to Indiana last night and Stephen Curry was the only player to score over 13 points. In the last 10 games, in which the Warriors are 4-6, Golden State has the second worst offensive rating in the league. The Warriors can't seem to figure out how to integrate everyone into the offense.

Houston isn't great in these situations, but its record against the spread as a road underdog gives me hope for tonight. The Rockets are 12-12-1 ATS as an away underdog this season. With the Warriors struggling, asking them to crush the Rockets is a bit much for me right now.

Pick: Rockets +10.5 (-110)
