The Golden State Warriors are heading home to the Chase Center to take on the Houston Rockets in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.

The Warriors were able to split the series at 1-1 after the two road games in Houston, taking Game 1 but dropping Game 2 with a final score of 109-94. Golden State started the first quarter slowly and ended the quarter totaling only 18 points. They were never able to make up for the ground they lost in the first quarter, losing the second and third quarters by a combined six points.

The big question for Golden State as they gear up to face Houston is the health of Jimmy Butler.

The Warriors are coming into the game with three players listed on the injury report: Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler III, and Gary Payton II.

Steph Curry is listed as AVAILABLE but suffering from a right thumb injury requiring a splint.

Jimmy Buttler III is listed as QUESTIONABLE with a left pelvic contusion.

In his Warriors playoff debut, Jimmy Butler III cemented himself in franchise history.

He is the 4th Warrior to record 25+ PTS, 5+ REB, 5+ AST, & 5+ STL in a playoff game since 1973-74, joining:
