The Golden State Warriors will take on the Houston Rockets in Game 5 of the Playoff Round 1. Warriors are leading the series 3-1. Therefore, there is a good chance that they will bury the tie tonight itself at the Toyota Center. However, in order to achieve the ideal result, the Warriors will once again hope that their talisman, Stephen Curry, will fire on all cylinders. Steph has summoned his best form in the playoffs and could turn out to be the decisive tonight. But to have any impact on the game, the star guard will have to play tonight. So, let's take a look at the Golden State Warriors injury report to know the status of Curry.

Stephen Curry Injury Report
Stephen Curry is not listed in the injury report released by the Warriors ahead of the game against the Rockets. Thus, he will most certainly start tonight.
Stephen Curry has been a cornerstone at the Golden State and being a clutch player he has found his form in the most crucial juncture of the season. Curry notched 36 points in game 3 and was decent in Game 4 too. The 37-year-old has been averaging 24.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 6 assists per game this season. If he manages to deliver such figures in Game 5 then GSW will certainly have an edge.
Golden State Warriors Injury Report
While Stephen Curry is not facing any injury concerns, the same condition is not valid with every Golden State player. As a matter of fact, a big name is featured in the Warriors' injury report. Jimmy Butler is marked as "probable" due to a pelvis injury. Hence, it will be a huge setback to the Warriors if Butler stays on the bench tonight.
Houston Rockets on the other end are facing injury issues of their own. Jae’Sean Tate is the sole player listed on the Rockets' injury report. He has been ruled out due to right ankle impingement.
Jimmy Butler's injury could prove to be massive in the context of the game. Much like the previous four affairs, an even encounter between the Warriors and Rockers is expected to take place. With all to look forward to let's see whether the Warriors will take the unassailable lead of 4-1 tonight or will the Rockets bounce back and live to fight another day.
