Rockets vs Warriors Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
HOU Rockets -3.5(-110)

Stephen Curry will be back on the floor for the first time since January 30 when the Golden State Warriors host the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. Curry has been sidelined for more than 2 months with a knee injury, so you can’t expect him to immediately be back to any level resembling 100 percent. His minutes will likely be restricted — and they also might not be overly effective. As such, my Rockets vs Warriors prediction is Houston -3.5. The Warriors are 4-11 in their last 15 outings and head into this one on a 3-game losing streak. Even with Curry they were 2-3 in their last 5 games. Head coach Steve Kerr’s crew is locked into the 9-vs-10 game in the Western Conference play-in tournament, so there is nothing at stake at this point — other than getting Curry some reps before the postseason.

Houston, on the other hand, will be playing with urgency. It is currently fifth in the West and could drop to #6 or climb as high as #3. The Rockets are on a 5-game winning streak and have won all of those contests by at least 6 points, including 4 by double-digits. Even more importantly, not a single player on the entire roster has any kind of injury designation. This line is too deflated by Curry’s return and the Warriors playing at home; the Rockets should be more sizable favorites.

Rockets vs Warriors prediction: Houston Rockets -3.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -4.5.
