Warriors vs. Rockets prediction and odds for Monday, March 20 (Can’t trust Dubs on road)

The Golden State Warriors are looking for a four-game season sweep of the Houston Rockets when they face them on Monday night in Houston.

The first matchup between these teams in Houston ended with Golden State winning by seven, although the Warriors blew out the Rockets both times at home.

Golden State is in a major skid right now, losing three straight games, and the team is a brutal 7-29 on the road.

Houston is in the second night of a back-to-back after losing to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night, but the team had won three straight prior to that game.

With Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II and Ty Jerome out, does Golden State still cover on Monday?

Warriors vs. Rockets prediction and pick

There are plenty of reasons not to trust the Rockets this season, as they rank in the bottom five in the NBA in offensive, defensive and net rating, but the Warriors are unbeatable on the road.

Golden State is a brutal 3-13 against the spread as a road favorite this season, and it’s mainly because the team ranks 28th in the league in defensive rating on the road.

That should allow Houston to at least hang around scoring the ball, and the young Rockets have looked much better over the past week, beating New Orleans, Boston and the Los Angeles Lakers.

I am concerned about Houston’s 3-8 record ATS on the second night of back-to-backs this season, but the team kept the first matchup between these teams within double digits.

11 points is way too much to give the Warriors given their road struggles.
