Warriors Look To Build On Recent Win
The Golden State Warriors play host to the Houston Rockets, at Oracle Arena on Saturday evening.

The Warriors (42-16) have won eight of their last 10 games, including their first game back after the all-star break, where they defeated the visiting Kings by just two points, 125-123. The Warriors have won their last five home games, and are 23-7 at home this season. They retain a firm hold on first place in the West, with a 2.5-game lead over second place. DeMarcus Cousins has looked good in his short time with the team, averaging 14.2 points, 7.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks per game so far, including 17 points and 10 rebounds, in 27 minutes, in the Warriors' most recent contest. Stephen Curry continues to impress, as he leads the team with averages of 28.8 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. Kevin Durant is averaging 27.6 point, 7.0 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, as he is truly doing it all for the Warriors this season.

Meanwhile, this marks the third and final game of a road trip for the Rockets (33-25), where they have gone 0-2 so far. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games overall, and are 13-16 on the road this season. Chris Paul has looked good since returning to the lineup, averaging 16.6 points, 8.1 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 2.0 steals, over his last nine games. James Harden, on the other hand, has been amazing all season, averaging 36.5 points, 7.7 assists, 6.6 rebounds and 2.2 steals per game. Harden (neck) is listed as questionable for action on Saturday. Clint Capela was back in action for Houston, as of their most recent contest. The Rockets will be better with him in the line up, as he averages 17.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game so far this season.
