The Warriors have been one of the hottest teams in basketball since acquiring Butler at this year's trade deadline. Golden State finished the regular season 23-9, ranking top 10 in both offense and defense. He's averaging 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists across 30 games, unlocking a completely different team.

The Warriors will have a chance to steal another game on the road, as they face the Rockets Tuesday night, before heading to the Chase Center for a two-game home stand.
