Rockets vs Warriors Game 5
Rockets vs Warriors Game 5 Live
Rockets vs Warriors: Kevin Durant and the Golden State Warriors host James Harden and the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, with tipoff from Oracle Arena set for 10:30 p.m. ET.
Houston came storming back in Games 3 and 4, taking both on its home court to even the series at 2-2 in the 2019 NBA Playoffs. Steph Curry finally found his shot in Game 4, putting up 30 points on 48 percent shooting. However, teammate Klay Thompson continued to struggle, going just 5-of-15. For the series, Thompson is shooting just 39 percent from the floor and 31 percent from three. The Splash Brothers' struggles have made this a series that could swing either way in Wednesday's pivotal Game 5. Golden State is listed as a six-point home favorite, while the over-under for total points is 219.5 in the latest Warriors vs. Rockets odds. Before you make any Warriors vs. Rockets picks or predictions for the NBA Playoffs 2019, you'll want to see what SportsLine's advanced computer model has to say.
The model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, is crushing its NBA picks. It entered Week 30 of the 2018-19 NBA season with a sterling record on its top-rated picks, returning more than $3,000 in profit to anybody following them. And it has been particularly red-hot on its A-rated NBA money line picks, entering Week 30 on a strong 85-60 run. Anybody who has followed it is way up.
Folks, we have another classic playoff series between the Warriors and Rockets. It wasn’t clear we’d get something to remember back when Houston stumbled out of the gate months ago and when Golden State struggled to put away the Clippers in the first round, but here we are. James Harden had 38 points as Houston evened the series, 2-2, Monday night.
Kevin Durant was excellent again (he’s been so consistent in the playoffs) and Stephen Curry had a solid night that included a critical three-pointer late to stress all viewers out and force the Rockets to hit free throws. But both Durant and Curry missed open threes to tie the game before the final buzzer — Durant’s attempt off of a sideline out-of-bounds play was shockingly open. Houston held on.
This series feels like it’s going all the way, and we know that the series between these teams went all the way last year. There is one big difference: the winner of this series won’t be the presumptive NBA champion — the Bucks look wonderful right now, and either the Sixers or Raptors could give the West champs a tough run in the Finals, if they get there. Plus, two grueling playoff series could really soften up the Warriors in the West finals against the Nuggets or Blazers, and the Rockets wouldn’t be
