Both teams are vying for the No 1 seed spot in the Western Conference and have only lost 17 games between them this season.
One defeat for the Warriors came against Houston on the opening night of the campaign back in Oakland.
And they will be looking to enact revenge this evening in Texas, although they will be without Kevin Durant.
The Rockets will similarly be understrength with James Harden out, who is currently leading the league with 32.3 points per game.
Despite both Harden and Durant missing out, it is still expected to be a tight contest with just one point separating the two sides in their early season contest.
