The Golden State Warriors will aim to bounce back tonight as they travel to Texas to face the Houston Rockets. Both teams have been struggling lately and are desperate for a win. The Warriors are coming off a loss against the Lakers, while the Rockets lost to the Hawks last night.

Date & Time: March 17, 2021, 8:30pm ET

Venue: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas

Preview | Golden State Warriors

The Warriors have been inconsistent throughout the season. They were on a three-game winning streak late in February, but since then they have won just one out of their six games. While Stephen Curry has also had a couple of off-games, the rest of the team has been underperforming on both ends, which is why they have been so poor.

Heading into this game, they have a fully fit team, leaving out Klay Thompson and Marquese Chriss. After showing some promise recently, James Wiseman will be eager to return to the starting lineup. His role has been confusing at times, but he has the ability to be their starting center.

Preview | Houston Rockets

The Rockets had a terrible start to the season going 4-9. But inspired by Christian Wood, they went on an impressive run and were 11-10 before he got injured. Since then, they have lost an embarrassing 17 games in a row. They have gone from a playoff team to a tanking team in this span.

The Rockets will have some good news entering the game. Wood is likely to return and so is Danuel House Jr. Both are likely to play restricted minutes off the bench, but their arrival could help them put an end to their losing streak soon.

Starting 5 for the Rockets

Guard – Kevin Porter Jr

Guard  – Victor Oladipo

Forward – Sterling Brown

Forward – Ja’Sean Tate

Center – Justin Patton

Predictions | Warriors vs Rockets

This game is likely to be the Rockets’ 18th loss in a row. Once Wood returns to his 100%, they will stand a chance, but Curry and co are favorites to take home the win tonight. This win will help them in their fight for a playoff spot and give them momentum for their upcoming games against the Grizzlies.
