What to Know
The Warriors are 10-0 against the Rockets since April of 2021, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success on Monday. The Golden State Warriors will stay at home for another game and welcome the Houston Rockets at 10:00 p.m. ET on November 20th at Chase Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they’ll have plenty of motivation to get the ‘W’.
The Warriors fought the good fight in their overtime contest against the Thunder on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took a 130-123 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Thunder. The Warriors didn’t live up to their potential and found themselves falling short of the advantage oddsmakers thought they had coming into the game.
Despite their loss, the Warriors saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Andrew Wiggins, who scored 31 points along with 3 assists and 1 steal, was perhaps the best of all. Wiggins continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he’s played.
Meanwhile, Houston was just a bucket shy of victory on Sunday and fell 105-104 to Los Angeles. The Rockets have now taken an ‘L’ in back-to-back games.
Golden State has not been sharp recently, as they’ve lost seven of their last eight games, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-8 record this season. As for Houston, they bumped their record down to 6-5 with that loss, which was their fourth straight on the road.
In addition to losing their last games, the pair failed to cover the spread. Looking ahead, the Warriors are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 7.5 points. Houston might be worth a quick bet since they’re sitting on a six game streak of covering the spread when playing as the underdog.
The Warriors were able to grind out a solid win over the Rockets in their previous meeting back in October, winning 106-95. Will the Warriors repeat their success, or do the Rockets have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.
