Tonight, the Houston Rockets will face the Golden State Warriors yet again with their season on the line, this time in Game 6.

In Game 5, the Rockets successfully kept their season alive, seeing 75 points between Amen Thompson, Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks to fuel a 15-point win. Steve Kerr would pull his starters mid-way through the third quarter, preparing for what’s sure to be a fireworks-laden Game 6.

With partial rest and playing on their home turf, the Warriors will look to close out the series tonight. Superstar guard Steph Curry has seen two low output games in a row following a 36-point outburst, so he’ll be on notice from the tip.

Jimmy Butler has been the lone health concern of the series, getting injured in Game 2, missing Game 3 and playing somewhat hobbled for four and five. He should only continue to get healthier, but the pelvic injury is certain to still play a factor in some capacity.

Winning tonight will be an uphill battle for Houston, but if it can make it out alive, it could have enough momentum in Game 7.

Here are the injury reports for both teams ahead of tonight’s Game 6:

Houston Rockets injuries:

Jae’Sean Tate — Out: Right ankle impingement

Jock Landale — Out: Right knee contusion

Golden State Warriors injuries:

Stephen Curry — Available: Right thumb splint

Gary Payton II — Available: Left thumb splint

Butler is now completely off the Warriors' injury report. While he's certainly still dealing with symptoms of his previous pelvic contusion, it at least seems as if his status to play is no longer in question.

The Rockets have one new designation in Jock Landale, who was listed on the injury report earlier in the series. While Landale does have size, he isn't likely to make an impact in this series, healthy or no.

The Rockets and Warriors tip off at 8 p.m. CT tonight.
