GAME DAY
Preview, predictions, TV, and injury report for tonight's Houston Rockets v Golden State Warriors game
NBAThursday, 04 April 2024 at 18:00
On a Thursday day in the NBA where a total of five games will be played, one of the most important will be the one between Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors. A duel that can practically decide the Western Conference play-in, or, on the contrary, leave it more open than ever. The stars of the game will be Stephen Curry and Jalen Green.
The Warriors will be the visitors in one of their most important games of the season. The Bay Area franchise is in great form, having won its last five games. Right now, GSW is 10th in the West with a 41-34 record, and insists on chasing the Los Angeles Lakers, 9th with 44-33. However, the key to this matchup is on the back end.
The Rockets are the team threatening the Warriors to knock them out of the playoffs. The Texas franchise is 11th with a 38-37 record. Having lost their last two games, Houston has been badly banged up, though still with a chance to pull off the upset. However, a loss tonight would virtually seal their elimination and absence from the playoffs in the West.
Expert predictions (Possible lineups and result).
