Houston v Golden State Free Prediction
The Rockets are still missing Kevin Durant, Steven Adams and Tari Eason to name a few, while the Warriors are still without Jonathan Kuminga and Al Horford. The Rockets have been one of the surprise teams so far this season and they are coming into this in red-hot form after beating the Suns despite missing Kevin Durant who is out again due to personal reasons. The In contrast, the Warriors have yet to really get going this season and they were really struggling with three losses in a row before they took down the slumping Jazz in their last outing. The Warriors need a win to get back on track and they are certainly tempting at the short line at home, but it’s just too tough to back against the Rockets while they’re playing this well.
