The Kuminga part though is unknown. Does he play a lot and give them a third scorer? Gary Payton waking up sick really makes them completely a 2 man show. Someone is going to have to show up or they need to hold Houston to 85.
Why not both?

Thanks to Hield's sharp shooting, Warriors made 3's at about the same % as Houston made 2's. Sengun and Thompson took half the Rockets shots, pretty much all 2 pointers, and both shot well under 50%. You cant play like that and score enough points if the Warriors have even a decent 3 point shooting night.

Betting note: I actually bet Podz O1.5 3's -190 odds when I got the Payton scratch news. He pretty much played the whole game despite not shooting well. So I was "right" but lost anyways because he went 1-7 on 3's.
