Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets Prediction

Golden State begins this contest with a record of 14-9. Early in the season, the Warriors have been one of the biggest surprises in basketball.

After missing the playoffs last year, Golden State entered the year with a lot of questions surrounding this team. Future Hall of Fame guard Klay Thompson was let go in free agency. The loss of Thompson opened the door for some of the Warriors' younger players.

Golden State begins this contest with the fifth-best record in the West.

The Warriors have come back to life lately, losing six of their last ten games.

Steve Kerr's team most recently played on Sunday when they beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 114-106.

Veteran Steph Curry leads the team with 23.0 points and 6.6 assists. Former first-overall pick Andrew Wiggins has been solid for the Warriors, averaging 17.2 points per game. 22-year-old Jonathan Kuminga has added 15.0 points and 4.3 rebounds.

The Warriors have averaged 114.1 points per game.

Houston rolls into the contest with a 16-8 record. That record places them third in the Western Conference.

The Rockets have exceeded expectations early in the year. Can this Rockets team keep it up and stay at the top of the West? This Rockets team is young and hungry.

Houston has missed the postseason for four consecutive years. The Rocket's last winning season came in 2019-2020 when they went 44-28.

Ime Udoka will attempt to get his team back into the postseason. Houston has won six of their last ten games.

Jalen Green leads the team with 19.5 points per game. Center Alpren Sengun has enjoyed a strong season with 18.5 points and 10.6 rebounds. Sengun is questionable tonight. Veteran Fred Vanvleet has added 16.0 points and 5.9 assists, which has led the team.

Houston has averaged 113.6 points per game.
