Back after the break, Houston Rockets resume action in the marquee league with an extremely favourable fixture. When the side go to play Golden state Warriors today, this tie is a foregone conclusion, a fixture which the Rockets should manage to ease their way past without any qualms.
It’s not only down to the rampant touch they are in or the agonising position their opponents find themselves in though. Across the last couple of years, this is a side which has cherished the period after the NBA All-Star Game Weekend with the side having an astounding 76% winning record in these encounters.
However, the one thing which could serve as a block in their bid to pull off a win today is their languishing record against sides on losing sprees. They have the second worst record out of teams in the top 8 in the Western Conference when it comes to this aspect with the 20-9 record including a defeat at this venue as well earlier in the season.
“It shouldn’t happen. It could. We’ll try to avoid it. We didn’t want it to happen in the first part of the year, either. It happened too many times to us this year. But then again, maybe we won some we weren’t supposed to. We have a chance to come in with a really good, high seed if we take care of business the last 28 games, Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni said.”
Probable Winner
Previous showing aside, this should be a straightforward tie for Houston Rockets. They are clearly the superior side in this clash, a game which they should not only win but end up tearing GSW apart and ripping them to shreds to register a comprehensive win.

GSW Vs HOU Dream11 Point Guard
With the 8 rpg, Russell Westbrook from Houston Rockets becomes an immediate pick for us for this encounter. The point guard has not only dictated play with his layups and alley-oops but has sent down points from the deep as well to emerge as a pivotal name for his side.
Elsewhere, the one player comes into our side from Golden State Warriors as well with us picking out Jordan Poole from the side for this fixture.
Shooting Guard
His side’s leading scorer with the 35.3 ppg and 7.3 apg, James Harden comes into our side from Huston Rockets in this ambit. Although he’s failed to emulate his electric displays away from home, today’s opposition will allow him to thrive and herald his way a slew of baskets from both outside the circle and midrange region.
GSW Vs HOU Dream11 Small Forward
At a time when Gordon has been missing for the Rockets owing to his injury, Daniel House has managed to escalate his stature at the club. His resplendent performances have seen him compensate for the void left by Gordon with the player consistently delivering stellar displays to see us pick him up.
Power Forward
We finally compensate for the players from GSW over here with us opting for a one-two of picks from the side. We begin with Alen Smailagic from the side, a player who is finally back after a long injury and has finally started showing why the club were so interested in revelling in his services.
Eric Paschall comes in as well from the setup whilst from Houston Rockets we are moving in for Robert Covington. Be it picking up points in the paint or sending down free throws with a high conversion rate, the player has a versatile skill set in his ranks to make him sublime value for the day.
GSW Vs HOU Dream11 Centre
P.J. Tucker from the Rockets brings an end to our Dream 11 side for the day. His scrimmages on the court have seen him transpire a slew of deflections, rebounds, steals and blocks with the player becoming a mainstay in his side’s defensive gameplan.
Star Player
Harden will come in to be our star player given the paper thin defence he’s squaring off against.
