Houston looks like the side with the stronger foundation entering this matchup. The Rockets are winning with defense, rebounding, and physicality, while Golden State has relied heavily on elite shooting and Steph Curry's brilliance to power its hot start. At home, Houston's ability to control the glass and make opponents work for every possession should be a major factor against a Warriors team that has been vulnerable defensively at times. On the prop side, Yaxel Lendeborg continues to emerge as Golden State's clear second option, clearing this PRA number in four of his last five games while contributing across every category. With injuries keeping key wings out and his minutes firmly in the 30-plus range, the volume should once again be there for another productive night.
