Updated Injury Report: Warriors vs. Rockets /

The Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets both have key players listed on their injury reports for Monday night's game. For the Warriors, iron man Kevon Looney was listed as questionable on the initial injury report. In the latest injury report update, Looney has been upgraded from questionable to probable, meaning he is expected to play.

For the Rockets, they had two starters on their injury report, with Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun both being listed as questionable. On their latest injury report, the Rockets have upgraded Green to a game-time decision, and downgraded Sengun to out. The Rockets are a tanking team that are more content with losses than wins at this point in the season, but they do have players that are capable of going off and winning a game. The Warriors must be prepared for this, as their road struggles have hit a new low. 

Dropping their last 11 games away from Chase Center, the Warriors are in desperate need of a win on the road. Having fallen back into the play-in picture, the Warriors sit a half-game behind the Dallas Mavericks entering play on Monday. The Mavericks have a tough road game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, which could give Golden State an opportunity to jump them in the standings if the Warriors were to win and the Mavericks were to lose. Avoiding the play-in tournament should be priority number one right now for the Warriors, and a good place to start would be a win against this very bad Rockets team.
