Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Injury Reports for April 4 | 2023-24 NBA Season
The rivalry between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets is reignited as they battle for a potential spot in the postseason. As Western Conference rivals, they are currently vying for the 10th position which ensures a place in the play-in tournament. The Golden State team holds the 10th spot with a record of 41-34, while the Rockets are close behind in 11th with a record of 38-37, just three games behind in the loss column.
A victory for the Warriors would secure their spot in the play-in tournament and effectively eliminate the Rockets’ chances of making it to the playoffs. On the other hand, a different outcome could leave the race open for the remaining games.
If the teams have the same record, Golden State will have the advantage due to holding the tiebreaker, having won their previous two games against the Rockets. The Warriors are currently favored as they come into the game with a five-game winning streak.
Despite a strong 11-game winning streak that kept their postseason aspirations alive, the Rockets have since lost two consecutive games. Nevertheless, they will still rely on their homecourt advantage.
