Warriors vs. Rockets Full Injury Report Revealed
After losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in a blowout on Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors are looking to bounce back against a very bad Houston Rockets team. This is the last half of a back-to-back for the Warriors, and a game they must win. Now one game below .500, the Warriors are in danger of falling out of the play-in picture.
With Klay Thompson now playing back-to-backs, he will be available for the Warriors in this one. The team's injury report looks similar to the way it did against the Lakers, with Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, Ryan Rollins, and Andre Iguodala all being ruled out. The only change from last game is Draymond Green, who is now questionable.
For the Rockets, they will be without their starting backcourt again, as Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. remain sidelined. While neither Green nor Porter Jr. have shown a consistent ability to play winning basketball, both players have the ability to light up the box score. Avoiding them in this one is certainly a break for a Warriors team that can use as many breaks as they can get.
Even when fully-healthy, the Houston Rockets are one of the worst teams in the NBA. Coming off a bad loss to the Lakers, there is no excuse for the Warriors not to take care of business in this one. Looking to remain competitive while they await the return of Steph Curry, the Warriors must win games like these.
