- The Rockets are 1.5-point favorites for Wednesday’s NBA Cup contest.
- The Warriors-Rockets over/under is 223.5.
- The winner will earn a trip to the semifinals in Las Vegas on Saturday.
In the final game of the NBA Cup quarterfinals, the Houston Rockets (16-8) will welcome the Golden State Warriors (14-9) to the Toyota Center at 9:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
The Rockets have been one of the more pleasant surprises of the season, establishing themselves as one of the top teams in the West. The Warriors have returned to earth after their hot start, but they still have an impressive reputation entering a single-elimination game.
Here is a look at the latest Warriors vs. Rockets NBA odds and my best bet ahead of Wednesday’s matchup:
Warriors vs. Rockets NBA Cup Odds, Dec. 11
- Point spread: Rockets -1.5 (-115)
- Moneyline: Warriors +105/Rockets -125
- Total: 223.5
Warriors vs. Rockets NBA Cup Prediction
According to the updated NBA betting lines, my favorite Warriors vs. Rockets NBA Cup prediction is over 5.5 assists (-104) for Draymond Green due to the discount that the market is offering on the Golden State forward.
Green ranks 25th in the league with an average of six assists per game this season. He’s helped set the table for a Warriors team with plenty of depth and flexibility.
Over the last two weeks, Green has averaged 6.6 assists on 12 potential assists per game. He also leads the team in passes made (53.2) over that span, illustrating his role on the team.
The market respects Houston’s defense with this line, but I like Green’s chances of clearing this prop. He has done so in six straight games entering Wednesday’s showdown.
Best bet: Draymond Green Over 5.5 Assists (-104)
