With this being another game on national television, it will be a real test for the Warriors in a week of tests. They’ve knocked off the Cavaliers and Thunder already this week and the Rockets will be their next test.
The Warriors don’t want Houston being able to get another one against them and feeding into a narrative that they may not be the best team in the Western Conference. Expect Golden State to come out with a sense of urgency and try to outpace Houston.
Draymond Green has almost created a feud for himself with the Rockets. Between the leg kick earlier this season with James Harden and the scrappy play in the playoffs last year, this is a game where Green is going to have to put together a big performance defensively.

Kevin Durant was the other Warrior announced as a starter in the All-Star Game. He has plenty of history facing the Rockets in his career and he has been on a roll lately. His 40 points against the Thunder came in efficient fashion.
There aren’t many games on the schedule going forward that have quite the implications that this one does. The Rockets feel they can hang with the Warriors and the latter wants to prove that they’re just a stepping stone en route to another championship.
