Golden State has started their last few games poorly but played well in the 2nd half. Houston usually explodes out of the gates with high scoring 1st quarters and halves. From my experience teams on the back end of back to back games usually get off to a quick start. Houston had 3 days off prior to last nights game so they shouldn't be too tired. Iggy is not expected to play leaving Harden to get buckets like usual. Taking Houston moneyline 1st half but expect the Warriors to put up a fight 2nd half.

Also when they played a week ago in Houston halftime score was 61-37. Starting slow is a hard problem to fix.

Rockets have also been winning at halftime in 11 of their last 14 games.
