Through 3 Quarters
The Golden State Warriors were the heavy favorites here for a reason. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Houston Rockets as Golden State lead 103-83.
The Dubs have been led by shooting guard Jordan Poole, who so far has 23 points. Poole does need to be careful, however, as he is in foul trouble with four. Power forward Draymond Green is also in foul trouble with four.
Houston has enjoyed the tag-team combination of small forward Jae'Sean Tate and power forward Daniel Theis. The former has 19 points along with seven boards, while the latter has 14 points in addition to five rebounds. Tate is close to surpassing his season high of 20.
This is the most points the Warriors have had yet this season going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know
The Houston Rockets haven't won a contest against the Golden State Warriors since Feb. 20 of last year, but they'll be looking to end the drought on Sunday. Houston might have tired legs after a matchup yesterday as they head on the road against Golden State at 8:30 p.m. ET Nov. 7 at Chase Center. The Dubs will be strutting in after a victory while the Rockets will be stumbling in from a loss.
Houston was just a bucket short of a win this past Saturday and fell 95-94 to the Denver Nuggets. Shooting guard Kevin Porter wasn't much of a difference maker for Houston; Porter finished with only six points on 2-for-14 shooting in his 32 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, Golden State's game against the New Orleans Pelicans this past Friday was close at halftime, but the Dubs turned on the heat in the second half with 72 points. The Dubs really took it to New Orleans for a full four quarters, racking up a 126-85 win at home. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Dubs had established an 88-66 advantage. Their success was spearheaded by the efforts of point guard Gary Payton II, who had 17 points in addition to six rebounds, and shooting guard Jordan Poole, who shot 6-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 26 points.
The Rockets have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 12.50 point spread they are up against. The odds have been favorable for them against the spread on the road this season, even if it's been tough sledding overall. They are 4-2 ATS in away games but only 5-4 all in all.
Houston is now 1-8 while the Dubs sit at 7-1. Golden State is 5-1 after wins this year, and Houston is 1-6 after losses.
