Warriors vs. Rockets Game Info
Golden State Warriors (20-20, 7-13 Away) vs. Houston Rockets (11-27, 5-12 Home)
Date: Wednesday, March 17, 2021
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Venue: Toyota Center — Houston, Texas
This looks to be a get-right game for the Warriors, facing what could barely be called an NBA team. Golden State has lost five of their last six games. They are coming off a blowout loss on Monday to the Lakers, who were without Anthony Davis. Stephen Curry finished with 27 points on 9-for-17 shooting. After him, there wasn’t much to like on the team. The rest of the team shot just 37% on the night.
While the Warriors are slumping, it’s nothing compared to the Rockets. They are now on a 17-game skid, with no sign of hope. Both John Wall and Eric Gordon continue to be out tonight. On top of that, Victor Oladipo is being rested. In other words, it’s the Kevin Porter Jr. and Kenyon Martin show again today. It’s great for DFS, but what they’re doing isn’t resulting in wins or even competitive games.

Warriors vs. Rockets NBA Picks | Total
Much like the point spread, those making NBA betting picks for the total in tonight’s Warriors – Rockets game should be a bit selective. Those interested in betting the total over will find the best value at FanDuel in the form of an over 229.5 (-108) ticket. On the contrary, those looking to bet the Warriors – Rockets total under should aim to do so at PointsBet, with a line of 230 (-105).
Warriors vs. Rockets Prediction
The Rockets are suiting up a G-League team yet again, hoping to compete with their opponent. The Warriors as a team have been bad, but Curry has continued to play well. He can basically win this game himself tonight. The rest of the Warriors starters are enough to cover the spread.
Prediction: Warriors -12
