Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets 3/20/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

 

On Monday night, the Toyota Center in Houston will play host to a clash between two teams at contrasting stages of their development.

 

The Golden State Warriors, a veteran team with years of experience in the league, will take on one of the youngest outfits in the NBA, the Rockets.

 

The visitors from California currently occupy the seventh spot in the Western Conference standings and are looking to close the season strongly, with just 10 games left to play.

 

Rebounding has been a relative strength for the Warriors this season, with the team ranking 11th in total rebounding in the NBA. However, turnovers have been a major issue for the team, ranking second-to-last in the league in this category.

 

On the defensive end, the Warriors have been only middling in their ability to force turnovers, ranking 15th.

 

The Warriors come into the game with the second-best scoring record in the league, although their defense has been less impressive, ranking only 25th in points allowed.

 

Their field goal percentage is middling, at 13th in the league, but they are lethal from beyond the arc, ranking third in three-point shooting. 

 

  • Golden State is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 matches over the Rockets.
  • The Golden State Warriors are 9-0 SU in their last 9 games against Houston.
  • The Warriors are 0-11 ATS in their last 11 games on the road.

Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Predictions 3/20/2023

 

The Rockets, on the other hand, find themselves languishing at the bottom of the league with the second-worst record.

 

Despite their lower ranking, the Rockets will be hoping to put up a strong challenge against their more experienced opponents. 

 

Houston, while still with the second-worst record in the NBA, suddenly earned three straight wins heading into Sunday night’s game with the Pelicans.

 

The young Rockets found ways to win games down the stretch, including a two-point win over Boston, a four-point win over the Lakers, and then a two-point win over the Pelicans on Friday night in the first game of this back-to-back with the Grizzlies.

 

Rookie Jabari Smith Jr. hit a 3-point field goal with just under a second to play to pull out a thrilling 114-112 win over New Orleans.

 

The brief win streak did come to an end on Sunday night after a slow start left the Rockets down by 22 points at the half to New Orleans, earning just a split in the mini two-game series. 

 

  • The total stayed UNDER in 4 of Houston’s last 5 games with the Warriors.
  • The total remained UNDER in 5 of the Rockets’ last 6 games at home.
  • The Houston Rockets are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games at home against Golden State.

Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets. The NBA pick for this game is the Golden State Warriors.

 

Despite their recent slump, the Warriors may have an easy opportunity to bounce back when they face off against the Rockets on Monday night.

 

The Rockets have shown a lack of discipline and struggle with perimeter defense, which could give Golden State the chance to capitalize on turnovers and play at an uptempo pace.

 

The Splash Brothers, in particular, are expected to have a strong game. With a 9-1 record in their last ten meetings with Houston, the defending champions must view this game as a must-win with only ten games remaining in the season.

 

Prediction: The Warriors will win 125-116.
