Free NBA Playoff Prediction

The Rockets staved off elimination in their Game 4 win at home, which was their first facing the Warriors this season. Houston came out on fire on offense, as they shot 56.6% from the floor, James Harden went for 45 points, and every starter scored in double figures. Stephen Curry did not have a big game and that was one of the keys to the Houston win. While the Rockets had been killed by the 3-pointers in the first 3 games of the series and gave up 20 of them in Game 4 they hit on 17/32 of theirs.

The Rockets got some confidence in the Game 4 win finally beating the Warriors and while I do not see them winning tonight they will cover the spread.
