Rockets at Warriors 5/26/18 - NBA Picks & Predictions

Oracle Arena will play host to Game Six of the Western Conference Finals between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. The top-seeded Rockets have won consecutive games in this best-of-seven series and stand one win away from the NBA Finals. On Thursday, Houston made the plays down the stretch of a tightly contested 98-94 home victory. The Rockets won despite missing 30 of their 43 three-point attempts and shooting 37 percent overall.

All-Star F Kevin Durant scored a game high 29 points on an 8-for-22 shooting performance. Steph Curry added 22 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in a losing effort for the Warriors.

Houston G Chris Paul injured his hamstring late in Game Five and has been ruled out of this matchup. The Rockets have had a great plan defensively and have forced the Warriors into playing isolation basketball. Houston has nothing to lose and I expect them to shoot better from the three-point line. Even without Paul, the Rockets will keep this close. Final Score Prediction, Golden State Warriors win but fall short ATS 109-103.
