We are updating team formations and lineups for the Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets game in real-time. The starting lineups are yet to be announced.

Jimmy Butler is on track to return from the pelvis injury, which kept him out of Game 3, although he is likely to start on the bench as the team coped well without "playoff Jimmy." We expect a starting roster of Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Quinten Post, and Brandin Podziemski. Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield will likely play many minutes again following their telling contributions last time. The Houston Rockets have a healthy roster, so expect Amen Thompson, Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, Alperen Sengun, and Jalen Green to start again.

Houston Rockets have the upper hand with 128 wins to the Warriors' 110 wins in regular season games between the two. The Golden State Warriors are tops in playoff games, winning 18 times to the Rockets' 8.

Houston Rockets can't afford to lose this game, but they are at a loss for what to do to hurt this Golden State Warriors team. In three playoff games, the Rockets have scored more than 100 points once, and that was only a 109 in the second game. With Ime Udoka's tactics having failed to hurt the Warriors offensively, Steph Curry and the Warriors have found a way to claim close victories. Playing without Jimmy Butler, Curry scored 36 points to lead the Warriors to a 104-93 victory in Game 3 for a 2-1 series lead.. The Warriors were down 13 in the first half, but the cast, including Buddy Hield with 17 points, Gary Payton II with 16, and Fred VanVleet, who finished with 17, covered up for the offensive work that Butler does.

Golden State Warriors are the slight favorite in what is expected to be an explosive encounter. Read more here.
