Ahead of the all-star break, the Golden State Warriors will take on the Houston Rockets tonight at the Toyota Center. In a season where they have constantly struggled, the Warriors made the desperate move of bringing in Jimmy Butler to pair with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. The trio is expected to fire on all cylinders, and they have been piling up points for the side, yet the loss against a depleted Dallas Mavericks, who just gave away their star player Luka Doncic and played without the new recruit Anthony Davis, came as a tough pill to swallow. Taking away the defeat against the Mavs, it could be defined as a decent week for the Golden State. They have won two and lost one this week. They would look to return to the winning ways against Houston today, but it will be a daunting task as the Rockets have comparatively fared better this season. Ahead of the start of the game, let's take a look at the GSW's injury report and figure out whether the star signing Jimmy Butler will play tonight or not.

Jimmy Butler Injury Report
Jimmy Butler is not listed in the injury report released by Golden State Warriors ahead of the game against the Rockets. Thus, he would be expected to start and make an impact along with Steph Curry, who is also devoid of any injury concerns.
After ending the transfer saga with the Miami Heat, the 6-time All-star became a Warrior and brought a positive impact in his debut game itself against the Chicago Bulls, scoring 25 points. He followed it up with a 20-pointer against the Bucks and collected 21 points in the subsequent game against the Mavs. Thus, he's been in good form lately and could influence the result in the Warriors' favour tonight.
While Jimmy Butler is free from any injury concern, the Golden State Warriors injury report is not empty. The report lists the name of Jonathan Kuminga, who remains sidelined due to an ankle injury.
