NBA 2018-19 – Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Betting Preview
Golden State Warriors face Houston Rockets for the 3rd time this season in a potential WCF preview this Saturday night in hopes of beating Houston for the first time this year.
Golden State Warriors
Warriors have been absolutely on fire, ever since that loss to Houston at Oracle, they have not looked back and have won 17 of 19 which has moved them all the way back to 1st seed at 42-16 record and a 2 game lead. The DeMarcus Cousins integration into the line-up has worked pretty smoothly, the Warriors have gotten even better with him in the team, in fact they’re undefeated when the whole big 5 that being Curry, Klay, KD, Green and Cousins play at 11-0 and assuming they all play, safe to say the percentages are in their favour. One worry about Golden State entering this game is their strange struggles against top teams at home, they have dropped games to Toronto, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, OKC, Houston, Lakers here and their combined home record against these teams is 1-6 so we’ll see how they figure this out tonight. Health wise, Shaun Livingston is likely to be back while Damian Jones is the only player that remains out, but he’s been out for a couple of months now so unless any news come out, every key player should be available tonight.
