NBA playoff betting: Warriors vs. Rockets Game 4 odds, stats

The Golden State Warriors are 6-0 straight-up (SU) and 4-2 against the spread (ATS) over their last six playoff games, and are now one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals. The Warriors will try to get that win on the road Monday night at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Golden State is a 5-point road favorite at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com for Game 4, which marks a shift after being listed as 1.5-point underdogs in Game 3 in Houston.

Coming off two narrow victories at home as heavy favorites in Game 1 and Game 2, the Warriors entered their road game in Houston with many fans and experts picking against them. It was the first time since April 5 that the Warriors were the betting underdogs, breaking a streak of 17 straight games as favorites.

However, the game was never close. The Warriors led 62-37 at halftime, and went on to win 115-80. Stephen Curry had 40 points and was a sensational 7-for-9 from three-point land. Golden State is 3-0 SU and ATS in its last three postseason road games.

After scoring 38 points in Houston’s 99-98 loss to Golden State in Game 2, James Harden had just 17 points in Game 3, held under 20 points for the first time this postseason.

The Rockets had no answer for Golden State’s shooting and were outscored in every quarter of the blowout loss. Houston is 5-1 SU and 6-0 ATS in its last six games as a home underdog according to the OddsShark NBA Database.

Monday’s total for the Warriors vs. Rockets betting matchup is set at 214 points at sportsbooks. The UNDER is 9-1 in Golden State’s last 10 games and all three games in this series have gone UNDER the projected total.

History does not favor Houston -- each of the previous 116 teams in NBA history to fall down 0-3 in a best-of-seven series have gone on to lose that series. The Rockets are 3-0 SU and ATS in elimination games so far this season, and will try to stay alive for at least one more game this Monday at home.
