The Golden State Warriors will travel to the Toyota Center to face the Houston Rockets in the NBA on Sunday morning. The Rockets (3-2) are fifth in the Western Conference standings, while the Warriors (4-1) are in third place. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Houston Rockets will be looking to notch up their third win on the bounce after beating the Dallas Mavericks 108-102 on Friday. 

Jalen Green had another impressive outing against the Mavs, putting up 23 points, 12 rebounds and four assists, while Dillon Brooks and Alperen Sengun scored 17 points apiece in the win.

As a team, Houston are averaging 110.6 PPG which ranks 23rd in the league, but their major strength has come on defence, where they are allowing just 106.0 (fourth in the NBA) on average.

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors are also gunning for a third-straight victory following a 104-89 thumping of the New Orleans Pelicans in midweek. 

Buddy Hield continued his impressive form since joining the franchise and led the team with 21 points off the bench, while Jonathan Kuminga chipped in with 16 points. 

The Warriors have been excellent on both ends this season, ranking third in the league for average points per game (119.8) and second in PPG conceded (99.4).
