We like the Golden State Warriors to defeat the Houston Rockets on Wednesday at 9:30pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Golden State won on Sunday against the Timberwolves. That will have them ready to go for this NBA Cup game.

The Warriors are 7-1 over their L8 games played against teams in the Southwest Division of the Western Conference.

As good as the Rockets have been this season, they have not found success against the Warriors over the past few season.

Houston have lost eight straight home games vs GS and they've also lost 15 games in a row overall against them.

The Rockets are also just 1-2 over their L3 games this season.

We think Golden State wins again, just like they did six days ago.
