Rockets vs Warriors NBA Playoffs Prediction

Game 5 was a Houston blowout, but Game 4 was decided by three points. We foresee Game 6 to be more like the latter, albeit with an even lower score. Defense is the calling card for these teams and with the stakes at an all-time high, expect rough play and a photo finish with Golden State as our NBA pick today.

Rockets vs Warriors Best Player Props Today

• Rockets F Amen Thompson 6+ Rebounds (-286)

Amen Thompson has progressively increased his scoring, but we’re interested in his rebounds. He’s grabbed 6+ boards in four of the five games. We project him to continue the trend as one of the best NBA prop bets today in a matchup with many missed field goals.

• Warriors G Stephen Curry Under 25.5 Points (-125)

Stephen Curry is arguably a top-five player of all-time but he’s having a rough series. He’s been held to 17 and 13 points in the last two games. To make it worse, he has an ailing thumb, per the NBA’s latest news. Golden State will win but Curry may have to earn every point he scores. Bet under his points prop.

• Warriors G/F Jimmy Butler Over 35.5 Pts+Reb+Ast (-107)

While Curry struggles, Jimmy Butler will pick up the slack. “Playoff Jimmy” will make another appearance this Friday. Butler averages 26 points, six rebounds, and six assists when he plays 40+ minutes. He’ll do something similar in this series-clinching game. Go over his combo prop for the NBA player prop picks today.

Rockets vs Warriors Over/Under Pick

This will be a low-scoring game, and we won’t be shocked if neither team hits the 100-point mark. The 247 total in Game 5 is an aberration and we favor some regression here. The average total was 198.8 before Game 5, with the losing team failing to score 100 points in the first three games. Go under.

Bet on Rockets vs Warriors Under 203.5 (-110)

Rockets vs Warriors Spread Pick

Our money is on Golden State to win but Houston is a better bet against the spread (ATS). The Warriors are just 1-5 ATs in their last six games, per NBA betting trends, and will have a hard time putting this game away with Curry struggling. Only one game in the series was decided by a single possession. But we’re betting Game 6 makes two.

Bet on Houston Rockets ATS +4.5

Rockets vs Warriors Moneyline Pick

The Warriors are intriguing picks for NBA Finals betting, but they’ll have to take care of business here. Golden State has won nine of its last 10 home games against Houston. It can show how it can close out teams. We will need an all-around effort and clutch defense as the experienced former champions have shown.
