The Houston Rockets got a huge upset last night against the Phoenix Suns, stay on the road tonight as they face the Golden State Warriors. 

The Warriors have won four of their last five games and are starting to look like the Warriors we’ve come to know. With the Suns dropping a game last night, can the Warriors avoid a big loss themselves?

Rockets vs. Warriors Prediction and Pick

Since James Harden’s departure, the Warriors have dominated this matchup against the Rockets. They’ve won seven straight games and have won by double-digits in five of those meetings. 

The Rockets played, and beat, the Suns last night – who had won nine straight games against them prior. Yet, I don’t think Houston has it within themselves to beat two of the better teams in the league on a back-to-back.

Houston is 2-1 ATS with no rest, so if there was a spot to back the Rockets tonight it would be on the spread. However, the last 10 games say the Warriors should win this easily. Golden State is seventh in net rating, while the Rockets are 24th in that span. 

At home, I’ll put my money on Steph Curry.
