| +5.5 | 220.5 | 115-109 |
- The Rockets came away feeling like they didn’t get a fair shake in Game 1, upset about a series of no-calls against the Warriors when they were contesting 3-point attempts by Harden and appeared to encroach on his landing space.
- The Warriors, who escaped the Rockets in 7 games last season, leaned on Durant, who scored 35 points and made several key baskets down the stretch to hold off the Rockets.
- Harden ended up 13-of-14 from the free-throw lineup and scored 35 points but was 9-of-28 from the floor and 4-of-16 from three-point range.
- Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Golden State.
OUR PICK = Under 220.5
