What happened

Golden State visits Houston tonight on an eight-game winning streak, and Steph Curry and Kevin Durant meet again as former teammates in the marquee matchup.

The Warriors remain thin in the backcourt with Brandon Williams and Gary Payton II out and Will Richard questionable, while Houston has Steven Adams and Clint Capela sidelined.

LINEUP CONTEXT

That mix could push Golden State toward more Curry handling and leave Houston smaller than usual inside, depending on late availability.
