NBA Basketball Free Picks – Golden State Warriors at Houston Rockets
Our Sportsbooks: The Golden State Warriors, (27-18 SU, 20-25 ATS, 23-21-1 O/U) have won seven of their last 10 games and two straight coming into this matchup, but that didn’t stop GM Chris Mullin and head coach Don Nelson from looking for ways to improve their roster.
Rumors today have the Warriors signing former all-star forward Chris Webber to a contract that should help improve Golden State’s notoriously thin front line.
The Houston Rockets, (24-20 SU, 21-22-1 ATS, 18-25-1 O/U) haven’t added any big name free agents, but they are playing pretty good basketball at the moment, having been bolstered by the return of swingman Tracy McGrady.
Houston has won seven of its last 10 games though they received a 97-89 loss to the Utah Jazz in their last contest, Sunday night.
Houston may also be without starting center Yao Ming whose upper respiratory infection sidelined him against the Jazz.
The Rockets have been outscored by an average of 12.2 points per game in dropping their last four games against the Warriors, including both games this season.
Warriors point guard Baron Davis has repeatedly torched the Rockets, averaging 27.3 points, 8.3 assists and 2.5 steals during Golden State’s winning streak over Houston.
Here’s a look at tonight’s key trends followed by my NBA Betting Free Picks.
Key Warriors Trends
The Warriors are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Southwest.
The Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Warriors are 2-5 ATS in their last seven vs. Western Conference.
Key Rockets Trends
The Rockets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a S.U. loss.
The Rockets are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a ATS loss.
The Rockets are 15-36-1 ATS in their last 52 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
Key Totals Trends
The Over is 5-1 in Warriors last six vs. NBA Southwest.
The Over is 5-1 in Warriors last six after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.
The Under is 5-1 in Rockets last six vs. Western Conference.
The Under is 4-1 in Rockets last five home games.
Key Head-to-Head Trends
The Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Houston.
The Road team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings.
Analysis: While the Rockets are playing at home tonight, I like the Warriors to use their all-out offensive attack to pull away from the often, offensively challenged Rockets. Take the Warriors to cover the spread here, though I think it’s quite possible that they will win outright.
