The Golden State Warriors realized what life is like without all-world point guard Stephen Curry Wednesday and it culminated in a 114-91 defeat at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks. The Dubs will have no time to rest as they continue their trek across the Lone Star State and invade the Toyota Center for a date with the Houston Rockets Thursday.
- The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last five games with no days off.
- The total has gone UNDER in six of the Rockets' last eight games.
- The Warriors are 10-1 SU in their last 11 games against the Rockets.
Curry, who is dealing with a lower leg bruise, could miss tonight’s game as well. That sets up the NBA’s second-best point producer James Harden (28.4 points per game) for a big night, as the Rockets have improved lately by winning four out of their last five games after suffering an ugly start to the season.
Golden State has historically dominated Houston, winning six straight in the series including a 112-93 triumph in the first clash of the season between the clubs on Oct. 30.
