Prediction
Golden State really has Houston’s number in recent years and it continued in Game 1. The Warriors forced Houston into some poor shooting and I expect some of the same tonight. There’s a ton of pressure on the Rockets, who have now lost eight of 10 to Golden State. Jimmy Butler has been sensational and he gets even better in the postseason. The Warriors are 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings and Houston is on a 2-6 ATS skid at home.
Pick: Warriors +3
