Houston Rockets vs Golden State Warriors Game 3 Pick – 4/26/2025

The Houston Rockets (53-31) are set to face off against the Golden State Warriors (50-35) in Game 3 of their Western Conference first round playoff series on Saturday night, April 26, 2025, with tip-off scheduled for 8:30 PM ET at Chase Center. Both teams come into the matchup with a well-deserved rest, having last played three days ago, giving players valuable time to recover. This series is tied 1-1 heading to San Francisco for this pivotal contest.

The Rockets are looking to build on their recent success, having won 31 of their last 50 games. Their confidence is bolstered by their last outing, where they convincingly defeated the Warriors 109-94. However, traveling cross-country poses a challenge, potentially impacting their performance on the road.

On the other side, the Warriors enter this game aiming to bounce back from that loss. They have been solid lately, winning 28 of their last 40 games, and will be looking to leverage their home-court advantage. The Warriors are currently favored by 3.0 points, with a Moneyline of -155, translating to an implied win probability of 59%. The Rockets, with a Moneyline of +135, have an implied win probability of 41%.

For those interested in player prop markets, Brandin Podziemski's Points, Rebounds, and Assists are drawing attention. This prop opened at Over 22.5 and has since moved to 24.5, indicating that sharp bettors are leaning towards the Over.
