Warriors vs. Rockets Predictions & Best Bets for Game 7
Curry shot just 9-of-23 from the field, as Amen Thompson and Jalen Green did a great job limiting his effectiveness on drives to the rim.
Alperen Şengün added 21 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, and three steals for the Rockets.
Thompson contributed 14 points, seven rebounds, three steals, and two assists for Houston.
Jimmy Butler put up 27 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists in a losing effort for the Warriors.
With the Rockets figuring out ways to limit Curry’s effectiveness while getting all of their main players to provide meaningful contributions offensively, I’m going to bet online that Houston will take Game 7 at home and cover the -2.5 spread.
