Luckily for the Warriors, Curry’s thumb issue has been lingering but it hasn’t been serious and hasn’t affected his postseason play.

So far, it’s been a highly physical series as the Warriors’ potent offense clashes with Houston’s swarming defense. Golden State was able to steal a big win on the road in Game 1 and will look to defend home court in Game 3 on Saturday.

Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. EST.
