T.M. Selection: Warriors/Rockets UNDER.

I am on the under in the Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets game on Monday. The Warriors have looked good on defense lately and I think they are going to play well on defense in this game and will stop the Rockets from putting up a lot of points here. The Warriors have kept the opposing team to less than 110 points in 4 of their previous 5 games, and 2 of those games they didn't even give up 100 points to the opposing team. This is also their 1st road game after playing 7 home games in a row and I don't think they are going to put up as many points on the road here, I expect them to play some better defense in this road game. They have actually played 3 road games in a row where 1 of the teams didn't reach 100 points in the game and that has also happened in 5 of their previous 6 road games too. There is a chance that the Rockets won't have Christian Wood for this game and that would be a huge blow to their offense since he contributes a lot to it in their games. Even if he does play, I don't think the Rockets will do enough here to keep up with the Warriors and their scoring. The Rockets have lost 3 games in a row but they have looked terrible in a lot of their games lately and have been 1 of the worst teams in the league all year. The Rockets have put up 110+ points just 1 time in their previous 3 games and same goes for their previous 3 home games. The Rockets played the Warriors on the road over a week ago and that was a low scoring game which finished 105-103. The Warriors were missing even more players in that game though, they won't all be back for this game but they will have some other players that they didn't have in that game and I think these players will offer more defense for the Warriors in this game and will allow for the Warriors to pull ahead by more and extend their lead. I see a good defensive effort from the Warriors here so I like this game to go under.

T.M. Prediction: 107-92 Warriors.
