Rockets and Warriors on Primetime on ABC
The Golden State Warriors will be trying to extend a winning streak on Saturday when they take on the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center. The game will be the first in Saturday Night Primetime for ABC Sports. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 pm EST.
This will be James Harden’s second game back from injury issues for the past month.
Oddsmakers opened the Warriors as -3.5-point favorites versus the Rockets, while the game’s total opened at 234. The line has held pretty steady, but the total has crept up to 235.
Rockets Almost at Full Strength
The Rockets were a 116-98 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves. They covered the -5.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score (214) made winners of UNDER bettors.
James Harden, Chris Paul and Eric Gordon proved to the league what has been missing in Houston for the last month. The Rockets who have beev inundated by injuries throughout the first half of this season showed what they can do, FINALLY.
Houston will still be without Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green. They were suspended for their roles in a postgame fight with the Clippers on Monday.
Harden didn’t score at least 20 points for the first time this season. The rust showed as he posted 10 points on 3-of-15 shooting. He also had seven assists in 25 minutes. Gordon produced 30 points off the bench. Paul delivered another outstanding all-around effort with 19 points, six rebounds and seven assists.
The last time the Rockets had their rotation all together they beat the Charlotte Hornets. That was on Dec. 13 for their 11th consecutive win. They improved to 9-8 since on Thursday. By having survived games without Harden, Paul, and Luc Mbah a Moute.
Warriors Take 14 Game Road Winning Streak Into Rockets Game
Last time out for Golden State, they were a 119-112 winner as they battled the Chicago Bulls on the road. The Warriors failed to cover in the matchup as a -8.5-point favorite, while 231 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.
The Warriors seem to test the Rockets like no other team in the league. Their 14-game road winning streak will offer a stiff challenge to a Rockets team looking to put things back together.
Golden State has won 24 of 28 games since its last road loss. It was a 108-91 setback at Oklahoma City on Nov. 22. The Warriors have dealt with their share of injuries. They have ranged from Stephen Curry to Draymond Green to Andre Iguodala to rookie Jordan Bell. Their overall talent allows them to weather injury storms.
Golden State would set a franchise record for consecutive road victories with a win tonight. They would complete a perfect five-game road trip.
