We are updating team formations and lineups for the Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors game in real-time. The starting lineups are yet to be announced.

The Rockets have had one week to rest their bodies, so we expect a full starting lineup of Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun, Dillon Brooks, and Amen Thompson. Jabari Smith Jr., who is on rotation for power forward, is being assessed day-to-day. The Warriors played their preferred starters in the play-in victory over Memphis on Tuesday night. We expect Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler III, and Draymond Green to start this one.

Houston and Golden State have played a total of 238 regular season games, with the Rockets winning 128 times and the Warriors victorious 110 times. Golden State has 16 playoff wins compared to Houston's 7.

Bet on Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors with Bet365

Coach Ime Udoka's Houston Rockets (52-30) clinched the West's second seed with three games remaining when they beat the Golden State Warriors 106-96 in early April. The young team was outstanding throughout the year, rocketing up the Conference standings and staying there. Billed as a rebuilding year, the Rockets have overachieved this season, but they will be disappointed if they leave in the first round. Although dogged by playoff inexperience, the Rockets are slight favorites to win this game.

While the young Rockets may be dogged by playoff inexperience, the Golden State Warriors have veteran postseason performers in Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler III, and Draymond Green. In a best-of-seven, against the Rockets' fresh legs and defensive ace Amen Thompson, we expect a first-round battle that should have come in the latter rounds. Read more here.
