The Golden State Warriors might be the lower seed in their first round matchup in the NBA Playoffs against the Houston Rockets, but many view them as the favorite due to their vast playoff experience and star duo of Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler.

On Friday, the Warriors had both Curry and Butler on the NBA's official injury report, which came out at 5:30 p.m. ET. The opening-round Western Conference playoff series between Houston and the Warriors is tied at 1-1 as the series heads back to San Francisco for Game 3.

But the Golden State Warriors are not a normal No. 7 seed with their championship pedigree, and Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Houston Rockets in Game 2 at the Toyota Center may be more than just a normal loss depending on Jimmy Butler's status.
