NBA Playoffs Monday Preview and Free Pick - Golden State at Houston



Free pick for the Western Conference Finals Game 7 Monday night between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets.


The Western Conference Finals close things out on Monday night with a deciding Game 7 between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets. Game time on TNT from the Toyota Center is set for 9 p.m. and VietBet has listed the Warriors as six-point road favorites with the total set at 208 points.Cleveland Cavaliers betting preview

Golden State needed to erase a 17-point deficit in the first quarter of Saturday’s Game 6 to keep this series alive. It cruised to a 115-86 victory as a 12.5-point home favorite after losing the previous two games in this series as a favorite with Elite-rated VietBet. The Warriors are just 3-4 both straight-up and against the spread on the road in this year’s playoffs. The total stayed UNDER the closing line in five of those seven road games.

Kevin Durant scored 23 points in Saturday’s must-win and he continues to lead the way in the postseason with an average of 28.7 points per game. Stephen Curry missed the opening-round series against San Antonio, but he has quickly returned to form with an average of 24.6 PPG through nine playoff games. Golden State was the NBA’s highest scoring team in the regular season with 113.5 PPG and its scoring average through 16 postseason contests is 109.6 PPG.

The current NBA basketball betting odds posted on this game by Elite-rated VietBet have been moving around a bit since the opening numbers.

Golden State Warriors  (-6.5)
Houston Rockets          (+6.5)

Over 207 points (-110)
Under 207 points (-110)


The Rockets blew their chance to end this series in six games on the road and they return to Houston with a SU 7-2 mark in nine previous home games during this postseason run. They went 5-4 ATS at home with the total staying UNDER VietBet’s closing line in three of their last four games at the Toyota Center. They won Game 5 of this series at home 98-94 as slight one-point underdogs.Cleveland Cavaliers betting preview

The main reason why Houston is a heavier underdog at home for Monday night is the questionable playing status of Chris Paul. He sat out Saturday’s contest due to a hamstring injury he sustained in his previous outing. If he cannot go, the pressure will really be dialed up on James Harden as the team’s leading scorer with 28.4 PPG. The Rockets were the second-highest scoring team in the league with 112.4 PPG, but that average has dropped to 105.8 points in the postseason.

Even if Paul is ready to go on Monday night, my SU lean in this game would be towards Golden State. However, I am still taking Houston to cover with the six points.
