The Rockets may be #1 in points per game but they'll have their hands full Friday night in an important game against the Warriors who would liket o hold their spot in the playoffs as they are a game up on the Rockets. The Warriors can score themselves so I see a lot of value in the -1Houston just relies too much on the three point basket shooting it 35.2% of the time and they'll go up against the Warriors who defend better than many think. Golden State is 14th vs. the 2 point basket, but more importantly are ranked 7th against the 3 and ranked 4th at home allowing under 32% from 3. On the flip side the Warriors will shoot mostly two pointers 76% of the time in fact and the Rockets are suspect especially on the road.
The Rockets rank 22nd in 2 point defense and allow 50.3% on the road and are allowing 57.2% in their last three. The Warriors meanwhile have played 11 games against the bottom 12 teams in the leage in 2 point defense. In those games they have gone 9-2 and their victories have come by an average of 8.7 points. Warriors also have revenge in this game after losing at home to the Rockets earlier in the season.
