Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are favored over the higher-seeded Houston Rockets in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. Here's a look at the betting odds ahead of the upcoming playoff series, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Rockets ranked last in ball movement, averaging just 294 passes per 24 minutes of possession, and they were 25th in player movement (10.7 miles per 24). While Golden State led the league by a wide margin in assist rate (recording assists on 71.4% of their field goals), Houston ranked last (54.9%) by an even wider margin.

After nearly three weeks of waiting, the Houston Rockets now know who they will face in their first playoff series in five years. The Golden State Warriors won Tuesday night's play-in game over Memphis to earn the Western Conference's No.
