Warriors at Rockets: Preview, how to watch, stream, injury report, lineups

[ASFN Admin]

After dropping three of their last four, back-to-back losses to the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, the Golden State Warriors will set off on a three-game road trip, starting in Houston on Thursday night against the surging Rockets.

When meeting Kevin Durant and the Rockets, the Warriors will be short-handed again, missing multiple key pieces due to injury. Steph Curry (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Moses Moody (wrist) and Will Richard (ankle) have all been ruled out for Thursday's game in Houston. The Warriors will need another strong performance from Brandin Podziemski on offense to keep pace with the Rockets.

Podziemski led the Warriors with 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting from the field to go along with seven boards and three assists in Thursday's contest against the Clippers.
