The Houston Rockets are all set to lock horns with the Golden State Warriors in an anticipated 2025 NBA Cup group stage fixture. The game is scheduled on Wednesday, November 26, at Chase Center in San Francisco, California. Notably, this will be the first time that the Rockets will be up against the Dubs in the ongoing season. The visitors are coming off an easy win over the Phoenix Suns, marking their fourth victory in the last five games.

On the other hand, we have the Dubs, who defeated the Utah Jazz, to record their tenth win in 19 games this season. Talking about their in-season tournament, both Houston and Golden State have played three games each, but won one game each. In the upcoming game, we can expect a tough contest to unfold in California, considering both teams would want to extend their winning streak and gain an upper hand over each other.

Having said that, let’s get into the injury report and expected starting lineups for both Dubs and the Rockets ahead of their Wednesday meeting.
