Bet on Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors with Bet365What to Expect from the Game between Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors
Alperen Sengun opened Game 1 with a monster dunk over Draymond Green that was the talking point of the game for the TV pundits. But it was the Golden State defense that emerged victorious at the end of the game, restricting the Rockets (52-30) to their lowest score of the season. Although the older Warriors dominated them in transition and matched the Rockets' physicality, we expect that Ime Udoka will continue to push his team to use their athleticism and physicality in Game 2 to swamp the Warriors. Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler III combined for 56 points, with Curry scoring 5-9 from the 3-point range. The bookmakers think that Houston will win this game and have installed them as slight favorites. We expect a thrilling game as the young Rockets look to tie the series before it swings to San Francisco. Read more here.
