Rockets at Warriors picks and predictionsPrediction

Warriors 108, Rockets 104

PASS.

There is not a lot of value on the Warriors (-210) to close the series at home against a Rockets squad that has dropped 4 straight road games.

BET ROCKETS +5.5 (-110).

Facing elimination, the Rockets will likely fight to stay in this game. Curry’s lingering hand injury may continue to impact his play, and Houston has covered in 3 of the past 4 games.

BET OVER 206.5 (-110).

The Warriors have scored 104 or more points in 3 straight games and 7 of their last 10. They have allowed 106 or more points in 3 of the last 4 games and 6 of their last 9.

The Rockets have scored 106 or more points in 8 of their last 10 games, while allowing 104 or more in 7 of their last 10.

The Over has hit in back-to-back games in this series.
