The Houston Rockets will travel to California this Sunday (April 5) night to face the Golden State Warriors at the Warriors’ home court, the Chase Center in the Bay Area. In this game, the Rockets will look to maintain their current winning streak as the 2025-26 NBA regular season comes to a close.
On the other side of the floor, the Warriors will be looking to end a long losing streak — and they’ll likely get some help in the injury department to do that. We expect the Rockets to win, but if players can contribute at a normal level, it might be closer than it looks.
