Curry's absence comes at a tough time, as the Warriors are one of the coldest teams in the NBA.

The Warriors got off to an excellent start to the season and were (at one point) the first seed in the Western Conference.

After losing five games in a row, they are 12-8, which has them as the sixth seed.

The Warriors most recently lost to the Denver Nuggets (in Colorado) by a score of 119-115.

Curry finished the loss with 24 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists while shooting 8/23 from the field and 4/15 from the three-point range in 34 minutes of playing time.

Following Houston, the Warriors will host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday.

As for the Rockets, they have had a sensational start to the season.

They enter play as the second seed in the Western Conference with a 15-7 record in 22 games.

That said, the Rockets are coming off a 120-111 loss to the Sacramento Kings (on the road).
