Rockets vs Warriors NBA betting preview (February 24th, 2023). The Houston Rockets are +9.5 (bet365) on Friday.
The Houston Rockets, who have a .129 winning percentage in their last 31 games, will face the Golden State Warriors on Friday, February 24th, 2023. The Warriors, who have been tough at home all season, will host the game with a start time of 10:00 PM ET.
The Rockets are heading into the game as large underdogs, with the spread set at +9.5 (bet365). This could be a game that the Rockets have little interest to win due to the Victor Wembanyama (pictured) sweepstakes.
The Houston Rockets will enter the game with an overall record of 13-45 on the season. This is a team that had absolutely no momentum heading into the All-Star break unless you count improving your draft status as momentum. Houston is the last-placed team in the NBA and they are 4-27 in their last 31 games. They can’t be backed to win a tough game.
The Golden State Warriors are 29-30 on the season. However, what can’t be ignored is that they are 22-7 from home and they are playing a team with no motivation — or motivated to lose. Odds of 2 to 9 might look short but if it’s true that teams toward the bottom of the league are thinking about the 2023 NBA Draft, then they could be really long.
Go with Golden State in this game. No matter what, you are backing a strong home team against the NBA’s worst achiever so far.
