What happened

Golden State visits Houston with both teams 8-3, while Steph Curry and Kevin Durant meet for the 41st time and the Warriors ride an eight-game win streak.

Golden State is still missing Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody and Kristaps Porzingis, with Gary Payton II out and Will Richard questionable, while Houston is without Clint Capela and Steven Adams.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Those absences could force extra minutes and different matchup coverages, especially if Richard cannot play and Houston keeps running more offense through Şengün.
