Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors Picks & Predictions

Gui Santos (Golden State Warriors) Over 13.5 Points + Rebounds (-263)

Santos has been on a remarkable run, averaging 21.6 points and 5.4 rebounds over his last five games. At home, he's even more lethal, bumping those averages to 23.4 points and 3.8 rebounds. Against the Rockets, Santos has consistently found his groove, averaging 4.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in their recent matchups. The numbers paint a clear picture: he's exceeded this combined total in every game over the last five, and when he plays at home, he's a perfect 13-for-13 in hitting the over on this prop. With an expected stat value of 22.14, this looks like a fantastic opportunity to back Santos to shine in front of his home crowd. Don't miss it!

Brandin Podziemski (Golden State Warriors) Over 14.5 Points + Rebounds (-238)

As the Golden State Warriors gear up to host the Houston Rockets, all eyes should be on Brandin Podziemski. He's been on an absolute tear lately, averaging over 21 points and 6 rebounds in his last five games. At home, those numbers climb even higher-21.6 points and 7.2 rebounds, showcasing his comfort in the Chase Center.What's particularly enticing is his recent performance against the Rockets, where he's turned in an average of 15.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. With a perfect hit rate of 6-for-6 in his last outings and 5-for-5 at home, Podziemski seems poised to exceed the 14.5 mark with relative ease. The Warriors need him to step up, and with a projected stat value of nearly 22, it feels like a no-brainer. Expect him to light up the scoreboard and dominate the glass in what should be an electrifying matchup.

Amen Thompson (Houston Rockets) Under 10.5 Rebounds (-400)

As the Rockets gear up for their matchup against the Golden State Warriors, Amen Thompson's rebounding line of 10.5 feels a bit too ambitious. Sure, he's been impressive lately, averaging around 7.2 rebounds over his last five games, but when you zoom in on his away performances, that number drops to 6.6. Thompson has faced the Warriors before, and while he managed an average of 8.6 rebounds in those encounters, his recent trend points to a significant decline-especially on the road. With a perfect 7-for-7 hit rate in his last outings, it's tempting to ride the wave, but the underlying numbers suggest a correction is due here. At an implied probability of 80% for the under, this feels like a smart play. The Warriors are a solid rebounding team, and Thompson might find it tough to crack double digits in this one.
