Curry, Warriors Look To Rebound From Humbling Loss

Golden State got completely humbled by falling to the Lakers 127-98 on Monday night. Steph Curry scored a team-high 27 points with four 3-pointers and became the Warriors’ franchise assists leader a day after his 33rd birthday.

“We’ve got to get sick of just getting blown out because that’s embarrassing,” Curry said. “We have to have some pride about how we’re playing. You can lose games, that’s going to happen. But not like that.”

Golden State had its four-game home winning streak snapped one day after upsetting league-leading Utah 131-119. The Warriors average 113.2 points per game (13th) while allowing 113.9 points per contest defensively (23rd). The Dubs have gone a dismal 7-13 on the road this season.

“They got 68 points in the paint. That’s unheard of,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said.

Reeling Rockets In Complete Free-Fall

Houston has lost a mind-boggling 16 straight games coming into this affair including an embarrassing 134-107 blowout home loss against Boston on Sunday. The losing streak is the second-longest in franchise history behind a 17-game skid in 1968. Rookie Kenyon Martin Jr. had a season-high 21 points, but Danuel House missed his fourth straight game with a bruised right knee… Eric Gordon sat out for the second game in a row with a strained groin and John Wall missed his third straight game with a bruised left knee. The Rockets are ranked 25th in scoring (107.2 ppg) and 22nd in points allowed (113.8 ppg). Houston has gone an uninspiring 5-11 at home this season.

Expert Analysis and Prediction

While Houston has won two of the last three meetings in this rivalry, the Warriors are the pick to get it done on Wednesday night. Golden State got embarrassed by the Lakers and Steph Curry was none too pleased. Golden State might be 1-5 ATS over its last six games, but Houston is 1-8 ATS over its last nine.

The Rockets are completely dysfunctional while Golden State is still led by Curry, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr. Simply put, I like the Dubs to bounce back with a vengeance.
