Rockets vs Warriors Prediction, Props, and Best Bets NBA Game 4

The Houston Rockets are set for a Tuesday night showdown against the Golden State Warriors. Houston enters this matchup down 2-1 in the series, hoping to secure a win to head back to H-Town knotted at two games apiece. Meanwhile, the Warriors have their sights set on a 3-1 lead as they continue to prove their No. 7 seed doesn’t justify how dangerous they can be as the postseason unfolds. Expect both teams to put together their best efforts in this big-time matchup.

Rockets vs Warriors Best Bet: Rockets ML +142
Houston enters this game looking to avoid the disastrous situation of heading home down 3-1. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka understands the importance of this game, and there’s no doubt he’ll have his squad ready to go in this matchup. Considering each of the first three games has seemingly come down to which team can pull away in the fourth quarter, it’s clear that these two squads are fairly matched. I like the chances that the Rockets can steal a win on the road to even this series 2-2.
Rockets vs Warriors Best Total Bet: Over 203
This series has been a low-scoring affair as each team continues to focus on the defensive end. In a chess match between head coaches, this matchup tends to be decided in the final quarter of each showdown. On Monday, seeing this trend stay the same wouldn’t be a surprise. However, I like the odds that this game will exceed the 203-point set total, with the Rockets outscoring the Warriors like they did in Game 2. A final score of 110-103 seems realistic.

Rockets Best Player Bet: Dillon Brooks 3+ Made Threes +186
Dillon Brooks is the type of role player who thrives in important games. The Oregon product has been huge for the Rockets this season as a 3-and-D player, averaging 14 points and taking on the top defensive assignments nightly. Coming off a performance where he knocked down three shots beyond the arc in Saturday’s matchup, I like the chance that Brooks can be a key contributor for the Rockets tonight, especially if they can pull out the win.
Warriors Best Player Bet: Stephen Curry to Score 30+ Points +140
Stephen Curry has been huge for the Warriors since the postseason began, averaging 29 points per game through three matchups. The Warriors star has exceeded the 30-point mark in two out of three battles against the Rockets in this series, including a 36-point night on Saturday. Assuming Curry continues to shoot at a high level in front of the home fans, it won’t be a shock to see him finish the night with 30+ again.
