Jimmy Butler III - Likely to play Wednesday Butler (pelvis) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Rockets.

Impact Butler is expected to suit up as the Warriors attempt to close out their first-round series against Houston on Wednesday. The star forward sustained the pelvic contusion after playing only eight minutes in last Wednesday's Game 2 loss and subsequently missed Saturday's Game 3 victory. However, Butler played 40 minutes in Monday's Game 4 win, posting 27 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-12 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one block.

Draymond Green - Struggles with shot Green racked up six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 109-106 win over Houston in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Co...

Impact Although Green's impact wasn't too evident on the box score, his energy was through the roof in Game 4. He was a constant annoyance to Houston, picking up five fouls, one technical and one flagrant before ultimately coming up with a game-winning defensive stop. The veteran is averaging 6.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 2.0 steals through four games with the Warriors holding a 3-1 series lead.

Impact Post moved back to the second unit with Jimmy Butler returning to action, but he made the most of his minutes. Look for him to be the first big man off the bench moving forward with coach Steve Kerr clearly putting a lot of trust in him.

Buddy Hield - Hits for 15 in Monday's start Hield accumulated 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Monday's 109-106 win over the Rockets in Game 4 of the first round...

Impact Making his first start since Feb. 12, Hield played at least 30 minutes for the first time since Match 3 and supplied solid secondary scoring. The veteran wing dropped five threes and 17 points off the bench in a Game 3 win, and he appears to have moved ahead of the struggling Moses Moody in the Warriors' rotation heading into Game 5 on Wednesday.

Stephen Curry - Takes back seat Monday Curry contributed 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-106 victory over the Rockets in Game 4 of...

Impact With Jimmy Butler back in the lineup Monday, Curry was content to let someone else take on the scoring load. It's the first time this postseason the veteran guard has scored fewer than 20 points or drained fewer than four three-pointers, but he's still averaging 26.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.3 boards, 4.0 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks through four games. Curry is more than capable of flipping the switch in Game 5 on Wednesday as the Warriors look to punch their tickets to the second round.

Brandin Podziemski - Pops for 26 in Game 4 win Podziemski recorded 26 points (9-18 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 109-106 win over the Rockets in G...

Impact Jimmy Butler led the Warriors in scoring with 27 points, but Podziemski nearly matched him in the best performance of his brief playoff career. The second-year guard failed to score a point at all over 14 minutes in Game 2 however, so Monday's effort, while impressive, isn't necessarily a sign of better things to come. Podziemski will try to stay productive in Game 5 on Wednesday as the Warriors look to advance to the second round.

Impact After missing most of Game 2 and sitting out Game 3 due to a pelvic contusion, Butler demonstrated that he was healthy by leading the Warriors in scoring in his return while also tying Brandin Podziemski for the team lead in court time. Playoff Jimmy was in full effect down the stretch in the fourth quarter, as he scored Golden State's last seven points while also grabbing a key rebound with four seconds left. Butler has scored at least 25 points in each of his two full games this postseason, and he's likely to come up big again Wednesday in Game 5 as the Warriors try to punch their tickets to the second round.
