Warriors Moneyline
Rockets vs Warriors, 8:30 p.m. ET
We will ride with the Warriors tonight despite the Butler injury. Curry and the Warriors will step up with a big performance tonight against this inexperienced Rockets team.
The Rockets are undoubtedly talented, but tonight's game will be a tough challenge for a young team playing in one of the most hostile environments in the NBA. Houston struggled at times on the road this season, with a 23-17 record compared to a 29-12 home record.
Golden State was outstanding as a moneyline favorite this season, with a record of 37-19. Houston posted a record of 10-17 SU as an underdog.
Pick: Warriors Moneyline
Jabari Smith Over 5.5 Rebounds
Rockets vs Warriors, 8:30 p.m. ET
The former Auburn standout has exceeded this prop in seven of his last eight games. Smith has averaged 24.5 minutes per game in the series, which bodes well for this prop.
Our Action Pro Report projects 6.9 rebounds from Smith tonight.
Pick: Jabari Smith Over 5.5 Rebounds
Steph Curry 25+ Points
Rockets vs Warriors, 8:30 p.m. ET
Curry will deliver a vintage performance at home tonight. The status of Jimmy Butler remains uncertain, and if Butler does not play, Curry will have more scoring opportunities.
If Butler does suit up, the veteran will still be in a strong position to exceed this number. Curry has cashed this prop in five of his last seven games.
Pick: Steph Curry 25+ Points
