Game Prediction
The Warriors are understandably favored in tonight’s game. However, as stated earlier, both teams will give it their all. Both teams know how important this head-to-head matchup is, considering how close they are in the standings. With everything on the line and with Houston having a slightly more consistent upside, I’m favoring the Rockets to not only cover but win this game outright.
