My Warriors vs. Rockets prediction backs the game to finish Under the 221.5-point projected total.

The Warriors aim to extend their torrid winning streak to nine games against a Western Conference rival, the Houston Rockets. Tip-off is set for 9:30 p.m. ET at Toyota Center, with the Rockets listed as 6.5-point home favorites.

TOP PICK
Warriors vs Rockets prediction: Under 221.5

The Houston Rockets are surrendering the fourth-fewest points per home game (104.7), and Houston also ranks in the Top 10 in opponent effective possession ratio (0.955).

The Golden State Warriors have been a much better defensive team at home, but they're allowing just 102.0 pts per game in the last three and are surrendering the eighth-lowest opponent effective possession ratio when traveling (0.938).

I would play the Under down to 220.5 points.
