Teams Preview

Golden State Warriors

Four-time NBA champions in the last 15 years have retained their core and added some impactful players to maintain the winning momentum. The side lost two of its premier scorers in trades and free agency, yet remained the most unpredictable team in the league due to its explosive scoring capability. For the Warriors, the Chase Center has been their fortress (six wins, one loss). 

Stephan Curry leads the team in scoring, while Draymond Green is more of the facilitator in the game. Jonathan Kuminga is the team’s top rebounder, while Jimmy Butler leads the side in steals. Five different stat leaders highlight the depth of the side that is capable of making a deep playoff run despite having one of the oldest squads in the league. 

Offensively, the Warriors struggle unexpectedly and stand 21st in the 2025-26 season with a 115.8 average. The side also ranks 22nd in the offensive ratings (113.3). The team makes up with a strong defensive display and ranks ninth with a 112.1 defensive rating. 

The Warriors average 42.6 rebounds per game (22nd in the league) and 4.5 blocks per game (21st in the league). Defensively, the Warriors showed quick hands with 10.2 steals per game (3rd in the league) and also have a high assist average (27.2). 

In the Upcoming fixture against the Rockets, the Warriors will be without Al Hoford, Jonathan Kuminga and DeAndre Melton. Their former Defensive Player of the Year winner, Draymond Green, could suit up for the game despite a foot injury.

Houston Rockets

The 2025-26 Houston Rockets are a new look team after their stunning performance last season. The addition of Kevin Durant pumped up their offensive game, while their young core is able to deliver around the new superstar in the lineup.

The team stands fourth in the league in scoring (122.3 points per game). The Rockets lead the league in rebounds with nearly 50 rebounds per game and offensive rating (122.2). Interestingly, the side finished at 27th place with a 97.86 pace rating.

Despite a strong forward line-up, they lack a proper shot blocker, and stand 15th in the league with 5.1 blocks per game. The team also showed a strong defensive game, recording 9.5 steals per game (sixth in the league). 

For their upcoming game, the Rockets will be without Kevin Durant, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Fred VanVleet. Jae Sean Tate is questionable for the game, having missed the recent game against the Suns.
