Command Analysis
Golden State Warriors
USACurrent form
Golden State got hit on the nose on April 24 in Houston — 94:109 in the second match, and the series leveled to 1-1. The Rockets crushed them in the first three quarters, and in the fourth, the Warriors gnawed out only a symbolic advantage point. Stephen Curry, as always, was the engine — 20 points, five rebounds, nine assists, but it wasn't enough. Moses Moody and Quinten Post added 12 points apiece, Jonathan Cuminga and Pat Spencer 11 points apiece, but the baseman Draymond Green failed with eight points.
Jimmy Butler left the court in the eighth minute due to injury. Steve Kerr's team (48 wins, 34 losses) took seventh place in the West, making it to the playoffs through a play-in. They are now returning home, where the Chase Center stands will roar for revenge.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Warriors are ready to go into battle almost in full force, all the leaders are eager to get into the game. But Jimmy Butler is questionable. His bruised pelvis and gluteal muscles make his appearance on the floor almost unbelievable — it's like playing without one motor in the engine.
Interesting facts for betting
Golden State and Houston have averaged 216 points in head-to-head matches (over the last ten games).
In the playoffs, the Warriors beat the Rockets 17 times, Houston won eight.
Approximate line-up: Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green.

Jaylen Greene was simply unstoppable — 38 points, as if the parquet was on fire under his sneakers. Alperen Shengyun scored a double-double with 17 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists. Dillon Brooks added 16 points, Tari Eason - 14, Amen Thompson — 11. Aime Udoka's team (52 wins, 30 losses) finished second in the West in the regular season.

1.88Tip and bets
Golden State is always a storm at home. Curry, even on his bad days, is like a wizard with the ball, and the Chase Center stands like a sixth player. But without Butler, who is likely to remain on the bench, their attack is losing teeth. Green and Moody are trying, but it's hard for them to pull against a power like Houston. The Rockets showed in the second match that they are not just brash upstarts — Green flies, Shengyun is like a tank under the ring, and Vanvleet and Brooks add fire. Udoka has set up the team like an orchestra, and they are ready to surprise again. Bookmakers consider the Warriors to be the favorite. But it's worth believing in Houston. Their youth, speed and confidence after 109 points in the second match are like the wind in their sails. Golden State will fight, Curry will certainly give the show, but without Butler and with the failure of Green and Cuminga in the last match, it will be difficult for them. We expect the Rockets to snag an away win by taking advantage of the holes in the Warriors' defense.
Our prediction is that Houston will win with a handicap of (-1.5) points, taking into account overtime in 2.35
Bet on the total
The series is still going downhill — the Warriors didn't score 95 points, but the Rockets have already shown they can score 110. The playoffs are chess, but on the home floor, Golden State will add fire, and Houston will not sit back. Curry and Green will throw from behind the arc, Shengyun and Brooks will push under the ring. We are waiting for the teams to finally break the 203-point mark in the third match — it will be like fireworks on the floor.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 203.5 points in 2.10
The bet on the player
Curry is not just a player, he is a phenomenon. He averaged 24.5 points in the regular season, scored 31 in the first game of the series, and 20 in the second. But at home, under the roar of the stands, he turns into a magician. We're waiting for Curry to put on a show, shooting three-pointers like a machine gun, and score over 30 points. This is his moment, and he won't miss the chance to ignite.
Our prediction is a total of more than 30.5 Curry points in 2.05 minutes.
