Rockets vs. Warriors Online Sportsbook Series Price Odds
The highly anticipated showdown between the No. 4 Houston Rockets and the No. 1 Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals round is underway. Golden State drew first blood with Sunday’s 104-100 victory in Game 1 of this best-of-seven clash, but it could not cover against the spread as a six-point home favorite. Game 2 is set for Tuesday night and the Warriors are favored by 5.5 points at home.
When it comes to betting the series price odds for this matchup, most of the top online sportsbooks have three options on the board at this point in time. The first is the actual series price odds, the next is the total number of games played and the final option is the exact result. There is value to be found in all three of these betting options.
Houston Rockets vs. Golden State Warriors Preview and Predictions
Rockets vs. Warriors Series Price Odds
The Warriors started this series as heavy favorites and with the victory in the opener they are now set at -400 betting odds to win. The odds that Houston finds a way to win four of the next six games to win are set at +310.
Bettors have already seen Golden State turn up the heat when it has to. The fact that the defending champs needed six games to get past the No. 8 Los Angeles Clippers has to raise some level of concern, but in the end, they took care of business in a relatively easy fashion.

The Rockets ran past Utah in five games in their playoff opener after opening up a 3-0 series lead with a trio of victories both SU and ATS. Going back to late March, they went 10-2 SU in their previous 12 games before Sunday’s loss. Houston is 10-3 ATS over its last 13 games.
Betting on Houston to win this series probably offers more risk verse reward. However, it is hard to find any value in Golden State at such a high price. If you are looking to bet the Warriors, hopefully they will lose Game 2 to drive that number down.
Rockets vs. Warriors Total Games Played
These two met in last season’s conference finals in the West and the series went the distance. Golden State rallied with victories in the final two games after falling behind 3-2. The big difference in that series was Houston holding the home court advantage.
With one game in the books of this year’s tilt, the best odds on the board for total games is +200 for five. The odds the series goes the distance again are set at +225. They rise to +250 for six games and the odds are set at +450 that this series is over in four games.

Golden State may have the home court advantage this time around, but these two teams are much more closely matched in this year’s series. Houston had the 3-1 edge SU in the regular season series and I am betting that it finds a way to extend this series the full seven games.
Rocket vs. Warriors Exact Series Result
The best odds on the board for this series price bet are +225 that Golden State wins this series 4-1. The odds it takes the Warriors six or seven games to win are each set at +400. The best odds on the board for Houston winning this series are +900 that it wins in either six or seven games.
