Warriors Face Rockets Amidst Crippling Injury Report

The Golden State Warriors (36-41) are facing a critical juncture as they attempt to halt a three-game losing streak when they host the Houston Rockets (48-29) on April 5, 2026. The game is scheduled to take place at Chase Center and will be broadcast on NBC/Peacock.

Both franchises are contending with significant player absences due to season-ending injuries. The Rockets will be without Fred VanVleet (ACL) and Steven Adams (Ankle), while the Warriors have also seen key players like Jimmy Butler (Knee) and Moses Moody (Knee) ruled out for the remainder of the season. Seth Curry and Stephen Curry are also listed as questionable for Golden State.

Statistically, the Rockets average 114.8 points per game, a figure very close to the 115.1 points the Warriors' defense allows. The Warriors, in turn, score 114.8 points per game, which is only a slight advantage over the 109.9 points the Rockets' defense concedes. These numbers highlight a closely contested game from a scoring perspective, further complicated by the extensive injury lists.
