For the Warriors, there are no changes. The team is still listing star guard Stephen Curry on the injury report, with a right thumb injury, but has put him down as, "available." Curry has had a thumb injury going back to January but aggravated it two weeks ago. He's been playing through the pain, and handling it quite nicely.

After two games and a half games of battling Houston’s lumbering, earth-bound giants in what seemed to be a constricting box, Steph Curry and the Warriors finally broke loose. Without an injured Jimmy Butler, a hot-shooting Buddy Hield gave Curry the oxygen he needed to breathe — and score 36 points — against the Rockets.

Stephen Curry shined in the Golden State Warriors' 104-93 win over the Houston Rockets at home on Saturday, leading the team to a 2-1 series lead without Jimmy Butler III.
