Golden State (29-38 ATS) vs Houston (40-27-1 ATS) features two of the best up tempo teams in the Western Conference that still have plenty to prove. As we all know, Houston had a phenomenal 22 game winning streak but have been blown out in their last two games. Golden State is a great run and gun team but will they able to go deep in the playoffs with no inside presence? BetUS.com has Golden State as -3.5 point NBA basketball betting favorites for Golden State vs Houston.
Houston has been carried by Tracy McGrady and a plethora of role players like Luther Head, Chuck Hayes, and Shane Battier since the injury to All Star center Yao Ming. McGrady has put himself in the MVP picture but in order for him to have a likely chance of winning; Houston must get back on track after the two bad losses and finish a top two seed in the West. BetUS.com has the TOTAL at 205 point NBA basketball betting favorites for Golden State vs Houston.
The Warriors are perhaps the most fun team to watch in the league as we all know the offensive firepower (and lack of defensive motivation) they have. I honestly can’t see Golden State getting above the 7 seed as the West is way too tight. This however doesn’t mean that they wont’ be able to pull off a major upset in the playoffs like they did when they defeated the top seeded Mavericks last season.
If Houston wants to prove they won’t be freefalling following their 22 game win streak coming to an end, they need to beat a playoff team like Golden State
