NBA Playoffs
Western Conference - Finals
Tip-off: Monday, 9:05 p.m. ET
Line: Golden State -4.5, Total: 213.5

The Rockets look to avoid a sweep when they host the Warriors in Game 4 on Monday.

Houston needed to win Game 3 and showed no sense of urgency, getting blown out 115-80 as a 1.5-point favorite at home. The team will now need to win Game 4 and take two games in Golden State in order to win the series, but the focus will be on not getting swept Monday. With a win in Houston on Saturday, the Warriors improved to 7-0 SU against the Rockets this season. Golden State is 5-2 ATS in those games and will look to finish it all off in Game 4. PG Stephen Curry will be the player to watch in this one, as he has been unguardable throughout this series. He’s averaging 35.7 PPG, 6.0 APG, 4.7 RPG and 1.7 SPG in the series and if the Rockets can’t slow him down then the Warriors will be advancing to the NBA Finals. The Warriors are an incredible 24-8 ATS after a blowout win by 15 or more points this season. The Rockets, however, are 12-2 ATS off an upset loss as a favorite this season and 10-2 ATS off a home loss this year as well. PF Marreese Speights (Calf) remains out for Golden State and Houston is still without SG K.J. McDaniels (Elbow), PF Donatas Motiejunas (Back) and PG Patrick Beverley (Wrist) for the remainder of the year.
