For the Rockets, Wall and Wood could be solid picks, as they are the primary playmakers on the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recent Records<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rockets and Warriors have already played three times this season, with the Warriors winning all three matchups. The most recent game between the two teams took place on February 19, with the Warriors winning 130-104.

The Warriors have been playing great basketball lately, with Curry and Green leading the way. The Rockets have struggled to find consistency, and they are unlikely to match up against the Warriors&#8217; firepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, we predict that the Warriors will win by a score of 120-100, comfortably covering the 12.5-point spread.
