*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Thursday, February 23rd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Friday, February 24th.
Houston Rockets
Perhaps the only question left to be answered about the Rockets is whether they’ll just keep tanking away the season or try to build some winning momentum down the stretch.
Houston has the worst record in the association and is in the sweet spot of the bottom three teams with the Spurs a half-game ahead and the Pistons 1.5 ahead.
Only one team is truly threatening to finish in the bottom three which is the Hornets who have three additional wins over the Rockets and the next closest team (the Magic) is a full 10 wins ahead of Houston.
They have 24 games remaining and sit dead center with the 15th closing strength of schedule.
Stats
Offensively, the Rockets score 109.8 points per game ranking 29th overall. Houston shoots 45.1% from the field which ranks 30th while they shoot 32.6% from the perimeter ranking 29th overall.
Defensively, the Rockets allow opponents to score 118.2 points per game which ranks 25th overall, while Houston’s foes shoot 47.7% and 36.8% from the perimeter ranking 19th and 26th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kevin Porter Jr., PG (OUT indefinitely—foot)
- Jalen Green, SG (downgraded to OUT —groin)
Golden State Warriors
Things get difficult right out of the gate as the Dubs face a back-to-back set but fortunately face the Rockets on the back end. Golden State has 23 games remaining and the 16th-ranked closing strength of schedule.
Losing to start the stretch run wasn’t ideal but the Dubs were missing both Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins.
Stats
Golden State averages 118.6 points per game ranking second overall while shooting 47.9% from the field and 38.6% from deep ranking 12th and third respectively.
Warriors opponents score 118.5 points ranking 27th with them shooting 47.4% from the field and 36.3% from deep ranking 15th and 18th respectively.

Free Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors NBA Prediction:
Whatever Andrew Wiggins is dealing with the timing for him to be out is far from ideal because the Dubs need every win they can get. While no win is guaranteed this should be a victory for Golden State, especially with their starting backcourt sidelined.
Frequent followers know how much I hate large point spreads and while the Rockets aren’t exactly feasting on offense I hesitantly take the Dubs to cover.
