On Friday, the Warriors had both Curry and Butler on the NBA's official injury report, which came out at 5:30 p.m. ET. The opening-round Western Conference playoff series between Houston and the Warriors is tied at 1-1 as the series heads back to San Francisco for Game 3.

But the Golden State Warriors are not a normal No. 7 seed with their championship pedigree, and Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Houston Rockets in Game 2 at the Toyota Center may be more than just a normal loss depending on Jimmy Butler's status.

The Houston Rockets are all tied up at 1-1 with the Golden State Warriors, and the first two games have been extremely physical between the rivals. Warriors point guard Stephen Curry commented on the Rockets' tactics in the series so far.
