Premium Pick

Golden State shot 41.7 percent and missed 29 of 44 3-point tries while losing Game 5 131-116. However, the Warriors could be forgiven, knowing they still can clinch the series at home on Friday, and their motivation level will be higher for Game 6. The Warriors have won nine of 10 home games against the Rockets, who are 1-6 ATS in their past seven games as underdogs of 0.5-4.5 points. Golden State is 3-0-1 ATS in its past four after losing by at least 10 points, and seven of the past nine meetings have gone UNDER. The UNDER is 15-4 in the Warriors' past 19 Friday games. Houston has lost six of its past eight games outright while covering the number in just three. Golden State's playoff experience and home court advantage will be the difference in this matchup. Take the Warriors and the UNDER.
