Warriors vs Rockets

Grade B+: Over 217.5 Points (-115)

With the Warriors clinging to a Play-In spot and the Rockets aiming for home-court advantage, expect both squads to bring high energy to this matchup. Golden State, coming off a tight loss, has leaned on the offensive firepower of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, while Houston, currently on a three-game win streak, has seen Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün thrive. Defensively, the Dubs will be missing Draymond Green, leaving a gap in rim protection and potentially opening the door for a faster-paced, higher-scoring game. Meanwhile, Houston’s absence of Dillon Brooks weakens their perimeter defence, giving the Splash Brothers room to operate. Historically, these matchups have trended toward the Over when both teams are healthy enough to push the pace. With both teams past the halfway mark in the season, playoff implications mean neither side will hold back offensively. Given the current line of 217, taking the Over gets a B+ grade—a solid bet with strong upside.
