Our Best Bet:
Houston Rockets +4.5
With the Rockets covering the spread in 9 of their last 10 games and Golden State not covering in 3 of their last 5 at home, we’re taking Houston to cover the +4.5 spread here. Despite Golden State's recent form, Houston has been too consistent and is expected to keep the game close. The Warriors may win, but the Rockets should be able to keep it within the 4.5-point spread.
