For the Warriors, there are no changes. The team is still listing star guard Stephen Curry on the injury report, with a right thumb injury, but has put him down as, "available." Curry has had a thumb injury going back to January but aggravated it two weeks ago. He's been playing through the pain, and handling it quite nicely.

The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets are going head-to-head in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. It's an intriguing matchup featuring proven playoff veterans for Golden State and a talented young core for Houston.

Stephen Curry is all for physical playoff basketball and having to earn every shot, even if he is the one taking the brunt of it, with the Houston Rockets swarming the Golden State star and doing all they can trying to slow him down.
