GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS +2.5

Houston has previously played in three back-to-backs this season. They are 3-0 SU in the second half of those spots, but they key is they were coming off a loss in the first game every time. They won last night in LA, walloping the Clippers, 102-85, and must now turn around with no rest to play the up-tempo Warriors. The Clippers were a horrendous 1 of 14 from behind the three-point arc last night. Don't look for the Warriors to shoot that woefully. The Rockets are allowing over 100 PPG on the road this season. Golden State has in-season revenge for a 108-107 loss on the second night night of the season where they were 5.5-point home favorites. Warriors are 6-1 ATS off a road loss this season and 8-2 ATS if they were a dog in their previous game. Golden State is our NBA Underdog of the Week.
