The Golden State Warriors take on the Houston Rockets in the renewal of their heated rivalry. While neither team is what it used to be, both sides will want a win. The Warriors are looking to secure a play-in position, but have lost a lot of games recently. Stephen Curry has been putting up MVP numbers, but it hasn’t been enough to rescue the Warriors’ season so far.
For the Houston Rockets, they have been abysmal this season. After losing James Harden, the Rockets became one of the worst teams in the NBA. Just recently, the Rockets were able to break their 20 game losing streak. However, that win didn’t spark any momentum or a change in form. The Rockets are most likely already looking at the next NBA season.
With that in mind, let us take a look at the Warriors taking on the Rockets.

However, star player Stephen Curry will be fit and ready to go, along with players like Draymond Green and James Wiseman.

The Rockets are also struggling on the injury front. The Rockets will be without several key players, such as Dante Exum, Danuel House Jr., David Nwaba, and Eric Gordon. Furthermore, John Wall is a doubt for the game, as he was rested against the Clippers. However, Wall’s absence could be routine, and he could make his return tonight against the Warriors.
