Warriors at Rockets 5/24/18 - NBA Picks & Predictions

Game Five of the Western Conference Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets will take place on Thursday night from the Toyota Center. The defending NBA Champion Warriors have already won on Houston’s home floor, but were unable to take a commanding 3-1 lead in this series. In Game Four, Golden State managed just 12 points during the fourth quarter of a tightly contested 95-92 series evening loss. The Warriors were the top assist team in the league during the regular season, but assisted on just 14 of their 35 made field goals on the evening.

James Harden led all scorers with 30 points on an 11-for-26 shooting effort. Chris Paul contributed 27 points and four assists for the Rockets, P.J. Tucker did not make a shot, but grabbed a game high 16 rebounds.

Golden State F Andre Iguodala (knee) did not play in Game Four and is listed as questionable for this matchup. The Rockets made a major statement in the fourth quarter of last game with their defense and that confidence will carry over. Take Houston to win and push Golden State one game away from elimination. Final Score Prediction, Houston Rockets win and cover ATS 113-106.
