Wrapping up a six-game stretch at home, the Warriors are set to face the Houston Rockets on Monday at 7 p.m. The Dubs are eager to secure their initial victory during this homestand, having faced defeats in the preceding five home games. Meanwhile, coming off a matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, the Rockets will be navigating the second night of a back-to-back, persisting in their California road trip.
San Francisco will extend its hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation until Monday, November 20, leading to road closures, detours, and modifications to transit services. If you plan to attend the game, it is strongly advised to depart early and meticulously plan your journey well in advance.
Warriors: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney
Rockets: Fred VanVleet, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, Jabari Smith Jr., Alperen Sengun
For the Warriors, Dramond Green will not be playing the game, as he is suspended from the league. Besides, Payton will also be out due to an ankle injury.
For the Rockets, Oladipo and Thompson will be sitting out due to their knee and ankle injuries, respectively.
After succumbing to a 130-123 overtime defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday, marking the Warriors’ sixth consecutive loss, Stephen Curry emphasizes the team’s heightened sense of urgency to break the losing streak.
Curry is optimistic about the team’s ability to sustain confidence in themselves and find solutions collectively. Jonathan Kuminga noted that, surprisingly, the losing streak has fostered greater unity within the team.
The Houston Rockets secured victory in six consecutive games before facing a setback against the Los Angeles Clippers, ending in a 106-100 defeat on Friday. This marked their first loss since the 106-95 defeat to the Warriors in Houston on October 29.
With Ime Udoka at the helm, the Rockets have shown notable improvement on the defensive side of the court, boasting the league’s fourth-best defensive rating at 107.8. The recently added guards, Dillon Brooks and Fred VanVleet, have emerged as crucial contributors, especially on the defensive end.
