Rockets Have Been Difficult to Beat at the Toyota Center
NBA fans rejoiced when the Houston Rockets knocked off the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 because it meant that we didn’t have to watch the Warriors easily roll over another team en route to the title. Now, there could be some drama on tap for Game 4 as the Rockets have won 11 straight games at the Toyota Center and have won five of their last seven home games vs the Warriors.
Oddsmakers opened the Rockets as 1.5-point favorites for Game 4 with a total of 220.5.

Warriors Moneyline
Just because I took the Warriors moneyline in Game 3 and lost doesn’t mean I’m worried about taking them again in this spot. The Rockets needed an epic failure of a game from Stephen Curry and a huge outing from Eric Gordon just to edge them in overtime.
I also think the Dubs have figured out a good system with having Kevin Durant walk the ball up the court and being a playmaker because the Rockets have no answer for that type of offense. I expect the Warriors’ defense to regroup and focus on shutting down the secondary players like Eric Gordon and Clint Capela and make Harden have to go for 50 points.
