Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

The Golden State Warriors have played well for a couple of games without Curry, but we’re going to see if they can translate that success on the road. The Houston Rockets are coming off a pair of nice wins over the Spurs and Mavs, and they’re slowly starting to show signs of putting things together. It’s a young team, so it’s still a work in progress. Still, the Rockets are at home and the Warriors don’t have their best player. I’ll lay the chalk.
