Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets: Current situation
With the Minnesota Timberwolves advancing against the Lakers on Wednesday, the winner of this series now knows who they’ll face in the next round. The idea of having a 7-game series between Jimmy Butler and his former team is very enticing, but the Warriors still have a lot of work to do in this series. The good news is they are playing Game 6 at home, they better find a way to close it out, otherwise things could get very complicated.
In Game 6 the Rockets don’t have much to lose as pretty much everyone wrote them off even at the beginning of this series, let alone after they went down 3-1. Regardless of how this series ends, this has been a learning experience for a young roster. Even though all of their flaws have been exposed by the Warriors here, Houston will benefit greatly from this series.
Golden State Warriors Stats & Form
Game 5 saw no Warriors starter log more than 25 minutes as the game was pretty much in the books at half-time. Interestingly enough, for the first time in this series the Warriors won the battle on the boards 49-39, grabbing 25 offensive rebounds in Wednesday’s game. That is very little comfort though, at one point the Rockets lead was at 31 points.
Houston Rockets Stats & Form
Strange things have happened in this series so far. The Rockets seemed to have benefited greatly from the dramatic change in style of play in Game 5, they attempted 25 less shots from the field and still won the game by 15 points. Fred VanVleet once again came up big with 26 points, while Amen Thompson and Dillon Brooks added 25 and 24 respectively.

Wednesday’s game was the 10th meeting of the year between the Warriors and Rockets. There’s no love lost between the two sides, each game as the series moves on gets more intense as players like Draymond Green and Dillon Brooks find it hard to control their emotions.

Betting tip and prediction: Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets (02.05.2024.)
Speeding things up in Game 5 was a stroke of genius by Rockets head coach Ime Udoka, who decided to go for all or nothing and his team delivered. Now all the pressure switches back to the Warriors who are in a position to close out this series in front of their home fans. Their head coach Steve Kerr realized very early that they simply cannot compete with the younger Rockets who opted for the run and gun style of play on Wednesday, the starters were pulled just 5 mins into the 3rd quarter so the likes of Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry and Draymond Green should be fresh in time for Game 6 on Friday. On top of that we have the Dillon Brooks situation, in his post game presser he confirmed his intent to purposely go at Curry’s injured hand in an attempt to injure him further. Curry has been carrying a minor injury on his shooting hand, it goes without saying that the Playoff hopes of the Warriors are hanging by a thread right now. Game 6 will be all about slowing things down for Golden State, they really want to avoid a similar scenario to the one we saw on Wednesday. With a packed Chase Center they’ll get enough support from their fanbase and in the end we believe the Warriors will advance. However, the spread is a bit too big for our taste, so let’s back Houston to cover in a losing effort.
