Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Remains questionable for Game 4
Head coach Steve Kerr says Butler (pelvis) has been working with the training staff and is listed as questionable for Monday's game, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Butler missed Game 3 while continuing to deal with his pelvic injury. However, he has a chance to get back on the floor for Game 4. If he can't play Monday, the Warriors will likely turn to Jonathan Kuminga in the starting lineup once again. Kuminga got the start for Game 3, but played only 17 minutes, finishing with seven points, two assists and one rebound.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Grabs 12 boards in Game 3
Post totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 win over the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler (pelvis) sidelined and Moses Moody moving to the bench, Post and Jonathan Kuminga were inserted into Golden State's staring lineup for Game 3. Post didn't make much of an impact as a shooter, but he did manage to grab a game-high 12 boards (nine defensive). The rookie second-round pick could stay in the Warriors' starting five if Butler is unable to play in Game 4 on Monday.

Warriors' Buddy Hield: Chips in 17 points off bench
Hield chipped in 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 victory over the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Hield logged single-digit points in each of his last four games, but he stepped into a larger offensive role in Game 3 due to Jimmy Butler (pelvis) being ruled out. Hield did most of his damage from three-point range and finished as the Warriors' second-leading scorer behind Stephen Curry (36). Golden State will need Hield's efficiency to make a deep playoff run, and the 2016 first-round pick would continue to have a big role off the bench if Butler cannot play in Game 4 on Monday.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Vintage performance in Game 3
Curry closed with 36 points (12-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 win over Houston in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler (pelvis) out for Game 3, Curry put the Warriors' offense on his back, tallying a game-high 36 points while finishing one dime shy of a double-double. The Rockets' defense swarmed Curry throughout the game, which freed up space for Gary Payton (16 points) and Buddy Hield (17 points) to hit open shots. Including Golden State's Play-In Game win over the Grizzlies, Curry has averaged 31.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 39.2 minutes per game over his last four outings while connecting on 45.5 percent of his three-point attempts.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Moving to bench role
Moody is not starting in Game 3 against the Rockets on Saturday, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
The Warriors are shifting their starting lineup for this game due to the absence of Jimmy Butler (pelvis), and Moody will wait for an opportunity off the bench as Golden State will go with a bigger lineup. Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green and Quinten Post will be in the frontcourt.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Starting in Game 3
Post is in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Post played a bigger role for the Warriors in Game 2 on Wednesday compared to Game 1, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes. The rookie second-rounder will start in the frontcourt alongside Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga.Post should give the Warriors more interior presence on the glass against Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Starting sans Butler
Kuminga is in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Kuminga didn't play in Game 1, but he came in off the bench in Game 2 after Jimmy Butler went down with a pelvic contusion in the first quarter. With Butler ruled out for Game 3, Kuminga will enter the Warriors' starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 15. Kuminga finished the 2024-25 regular season averaging 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 steals over 24.3 minutes per game.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Not playing in Game 3
Butler (pelvis) is out for Game 3 against the Rockets on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Butler was initially deemed as questionable for Game 3, but in the end, the star forward will be sidelined for this matchup. Jonathan Kuminga will start in his place and should be in line for an elevated role in terms of playing time.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Questionable for Saturday
Payton is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Rockets due to a right shoulder strain.
Payton has been limited to 16 and 12 minutes off the bench in the first two games of the first-round series against the Rockets. Even if he's deemed available, Payton shouldn't have a big role in fantasy across all formats.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Officially deemed questionable
The Warriors announced Friday that Butler has been diagnosed with a left pelvic and deep gluteal muscle contusion and will be listed as questionable Saturday for Game 3 of the team's first-round playoff series matchup with the Rockets.
Butler left Game 2 with 1:51 remaining in the first quarter after being undercut by Amen Thompsonand falling hard to the court, but he seems to have avoided a long-term injury. However, if Butler is forced to miss Game 3, Jonathan Kuminga -- who had been out of the rotation for Game 1 but played 26 minutes following Butler's departure in Game 2 -- would likely be in store for an elevated role once again.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Status in question for Game 3
Butler has been diagnosed with a deep glute muscle bruise and is in danger of sitting out Saturday in Game 3 of the Warriors' first-round playoff series with the Rockets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Butler was unable to return to Wednesday's Game 2 loss after suffering a hard fall to the floor late in the first quarter. While an MRI on Thursday cleared Butler of any structural damage, he'll still be in jeopardy of sitting out Saturday. The Warriors will undoubtedly monitor the star forward's status closely over the next couple of days before making a final call on his availability, but he's expected to be officially listed as questionable on the team's upcoming injury report, per NBA reporter Chris Haynes.
