Golden State Warriors by 4
Oh boy, this should be one for the Price is Right. Coming in rather hot, we have the Houston Rockets who show their mettle, what with Alperen Sengun stepping up, averaging 19.3 points coupled with 12 rebounds per game in the playoffs. Jalen Green is bagging 18 points per game in playoffs too, making it a force to reckon with.
Golden State, despite being the underdogs in the season, have stood their ground in the playoffs, thanks largely to the evergreen Stephen Curry scoring a staggering 29 points per game. It's as if his ambition is more contagious than yawns in a late-night movie. Jimmy Butler's also showing he's worth his salt, mustering a commendable 14 points per game.
Their past rendezvous have seen an even split, with the Warriors eking out the latest victory. Recently, the Warriors' performances have felt a bit like putting decaf in the coffee maker at an early morning meeting. Did win their latest pair though.
The Rockets, on the other hand, soared ahead in the regular season, standing at #2 in the Western Conference, but lost their latest match. Never a dull moment in this game, let me tell you.
All limericks aside, let these teams tango on the court and we'll see who trips first. Based on my observations, the Warriors seem to have a slight edge, but an upset isn't outlandish in the world of sports now, is it?
