Watch Houston Rockets Vs. Golden State Warriors Live Stream: Start Time, Preview
The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets square off in what could be a late-round NBA West playoff preview on Friday night, in a game that will live stream from Oakland as Stephen Curry’s defending conference champions look to reel off their 10th victory in a row. In fact, the Warriors handed the Rockets a seven-point defeat in Houston as recently as March 28.
For the Warriors, a win would give them a crucial step toward locking up the conference Number One seed for the postseason. Depending on the San Antonio result against Oklahoma City earlier on Friday, Golden State could open up a 4 1/2 game lead over the Spurs with six games to go on the regular season schedule.
At 6 1/2 games behind second-place San Antonio but five ahead of Utah in the fourth slot, the Rockets would appear to be locked into the third seed in the West which, if San Anotinio suffers an early-round upset, could put them on course to face Golden State in the conference finals.

While Houston’s James Harden is a leading MVP candidate this season, there is at least some chance he may sit out the game against Golden State on Friday. Harden is nursing a wrist injury suffered in a fall while playing against Oklahoma City last Sunday, and the Rockets are coming off a loss just last night, making Friday’s contest their third game in four days.
Harden has also faltered in the three games the Rockets have played against Golden State this season, hitting just 19 of 56 field goal attempts and committing 20 turnovers as Houston has lost two of three to the Warriors.
