Warriors are leading the series 3-2.

After a disappointing display in game 5, the Golden State Warriors will have another chance to close out the round 1 series against the Houston Rockets tonight. The Warriors will enter the Chase Center with a 3-2 advantage and will likely leave no stone unturned in burying the tie in Game 6. To succeed in the objective star forward Jimmy Butler will have to contribute heavily. Butler had a rather forgetful game 5, scoring just 8 points and had nothing monumental to show on account of rebounds and assists as well. Butler will be expected to return to basics tonight. However, to have any sort of impact, he would first have to play. To know his status for the game, one would have to glance at the Golden State Warriors injury report.
