It’s been a wild ride for Golden State Warriors fans from Steph being Steph to hopes of trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo and now no more Steph. Either way, they tip off tonight’s NBA on Prime Video doubleheader on the road, taking on Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets. So, we’re here to add to it with our best Warriors vs. Rockets predictions for tonight.

Even if you don’t end up wanting to lock in any Warriors vs. Rockets picks, we’ve also got you covered with a guaranteed two-part Sleeper Fantasy promo code bonus - perfect for fans in both Cali and Texas without legal sports betting!

Warriors vs. Rockets Predictions for NBA on Prime, 3/5

We haven’t seen either the Warriors or Rockets since Monday night, so for as much as we often see teams on back-to-backs these days, these teams are as rested as it gets outside the All-Star break. Even still, we wouldn’t consider that to be the biggest factor regarding any Warriors vs. Rockets predictions.

Instead, that would be the injury concerns in Golden State. We know that Stephen Curry will remain out, and Kristaps Porzingis' illness has become a whirlwind of a story itself. Houston is actually hoping that we’ll be able to make some Warriors vs. Rockets picks and NBA expert picks, including Jabari Smith as well, after missing time with an ankle issue.

As for prior meetings between these Western Conference foes this season, it was the day before Thanksgiving that saw Houston come away with a 104-100 victory, covering the +2.5 spread. With that in mind, we’re going to be focusing on not that exact market with our Warriors vs. Rockets predictions, but another standard one.

Warriors vs. Rockets Best Bet: Under 215.5 Points (Use Sleeper Player Cards As Well)

As you can see with that aforementioned score, it’s a safe assumption that it stayed under the total. In fact, it did so in a big way - by 19.5 points! What’s more is that it was a game in which both Stephen Curry AND Jimmy Butler were on the court for Golden State (albeit no KD), so our Warriors vs. Rockets predictions shouldn’t come as a surprise.

While it may not be the most unique approach, we still see value in this over/under. Golden State speaks for itself at this point with how depleted they are, as they’ve now scored just 101 points in back-to-back games. We don’t expect that to improve against a Houston defense that allows the third-fewest points per game.

KD and company also play at the second-slowest pace in the entire NBA, further solidifying our Warriors vs. Rockets predictions. Even if Jabari Smith, Jr. is at full capacity, Houston’s offensive efficiency isn’t impressive either, even with KD on the court. So, Golden State should also want to slow things down since they don’t have the firepower to keep pace right now.

Again, it’s not the flashiest pick for this game, but the best bet from our Warriors vs. Rockets predictions is under 215.5 points (consider some Sleeper lineups as well).
