Getty Steph Curry and the Warriors can keep their season alive with a win in Game 6.
A Western Conference finals series that’s getting more entertaining by the day resumes tonight in Oakland, where the defending champion Warriors will look to stave off elimination against the Rockets. Houston, which had the NBA’s best regular season record, can clinch its first Finals appearance in 23 years with a victory.
A Golden State win would force a winner-take-all Game 7 Monday in Houston. Tonight’s game is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TNT. If you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can watch the game live on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:

Rockets vs. Warriors Game 6 Preview
In a sign of how much respect Golden State gets, the Warriors are still favored not only to win the series, but to win their third title in fourth years. But Golden State has been far from invincible, and home-court advantage hasn’t proved pivotal in this series, in which each team has won a game on the road.
Working strongly in the Warriors’ favor: Chris Paul, who’s been on par with James Harden among dominant Houston players this series, will miss the game with a hamstring injury. Tonight’s game is one piece of a fascinating drama playing out: Golden State and Cleveland, competitors in the last three Finals, are both a game away from elimination. The Cavs extended their season Friday night with a 116-106 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. The Warriors will try to do the same tonight in front of what’s sure to be a raucous crowd at Oracle Arena.
Sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com have the Warriors as massive 12.5-point favorites in Game 6. The point spread is easily the biggest of the series so far.
