The Golden State Warriors will be up against the Houston Rockets in Game 4 of the best-of-seven series on Monday, April 28. The Warriors kicked off the NBA Playoffs 2025 campaign with a 95-85 win over the Rockets to gain early control on the series. The Rockets, however, were quick to bounce back and they took down the Dubs 109-94 in Game 2, capitalizing on Jimmy Butler’s injury to level the tally 1-1.

As action moved to Chase Center in Game 3, the Dubs played their first playoff game of the season without Butler. While the Rockets were aiming to repeat last game’s heroics, the Dubs, led by Stephen Curry, handed a 104-93 loss to them gaining the upper hand and a 2-1 lead.

As both teams are gearing up for the fourth game of the series, the Rockets would want to avoid a 3-1 hole and even the series 2-2. However, the Dubs would aim to extend their winning streak to secure a series win in Game 5. As both teams are set to clash in another pivotal encounter, let’s see which players have made it to the injury report.
