Stephen Curry has been leading the Golden State Warriors with an average of 28.8 points per game. He is shooting 47.8% from the field and 39.9% from the three-point range. Curry has been pretty solid at home, averaging 29.0 points per game with 50.4% shooting from the field and 42.7% from the three-point range. In the previous game against the Jazz, the 11-time All-Star dropped 31 points while shooting 50.0% from the field.
In fact, he has had four 30+ point performances in the last five games, including a 49-point show against the San Antonio Spurs. Considering how Curry is in brilliant form despite being 37-years-old, we can expect him to drop over 27 points.
The Golden State Warriors put an end to their three-game losing streak as they defeated the Utah Jazz 134-117. Currently at the eighth spot in the Western Conference with a 10-9 record, the Dubs have looked strong at home since the beginning of the season with a 6-1 win-loss tally. Talking about their previous game, they handed a convincing loss to the Jazz despite missing players such as Draymond Green as well as Jonathan Kuminga. Steph Curry stepped up and dropped 31 points, while others including Jimmy Butler, Buddy Hield, and Moses Moody came up with meaningful contributions.
Their offensive rating of 113.3 puts them in the bottom half in the standings while their defensive rating of 112.1 is the ninth best in the league. It goes without saying that they have a tougher challenge against the Rockets, who have the league’s top-ranked offense. However, as stated above, the Dubs are doing well in terms of defense. Apart from it, they are 12th in terms of three-point shooting given that they have Curry, one of the greatest shooters in the NBA.
On the other hand, we have the Houston Rockets, who are playing excellent basketball this season. It seems that their strategy to sign Kevin Durant paid off well. The Rockets are sitting amongst the top in the Western Conference with an 11-4 record and recorded their fifth win in the last six games as they defeated Durant’s previous team, the Phoenix Suns.
The Rockets currently have the best offensive rating in the league at 122.5, while their defensive rating (111.1) places them in the fifth spot. Apart from it, they have the best three-point shooting at 42% and are fourth in scoring at 122.3 points per game. Despite losing Fred VanVleet to injury, the Rockets haven’t slowed down a bit. Apart from the stellar gameplay of Kevin Durant, players such as Amen Thompson, Alperen Sengun, Jabari Smith Jr. and others have made key contributions towards the team’s success.
However, Durant’s absence against a power-packed team such as the Warriors would have a direct impact on the outcome of the upcoming game. Hence, considering all the factors, the Dubs are likely to edge the Rockets to win Wednesday night’s game.
