Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets Starting Lineups and Depth Chart for April 4 | 2023-24 NBA Season

On Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, the Houston Rockets will host the Golden State Warriors at the Toyota Center in Houston. This game marks the third meeting between the two teams this season, with the Warriors emerging victorious in the first two. It is one of five games on tonight’s NBA schedule.

Despite facing a formidable opponent in Luka Doncic, the Warriors have continued their winning streak, triumphing in five consecutive games and solidifying their position with a three-game advantage for the highly sought-after final playoff spot. Their most recent victory came on their home court, where they battled hard and emerged with a well-earned 104-100 win over Dallas on Tuesday evening.

During the matchup, Andrew Wiggins showcased his versatility by scoring 23 points and taking on the defensive challenge of containing Doncic, the NBA’s leading scorer.

Despite their determination, the Rockets’ quest for a spot in the playoffs is in jeopardy as they prepare to face the Warriors on Thursday evening. With only seven games left in the regular season, the Rockets currently lag behind the Warriors by a three-game deficit. After a loss of 113-106 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday, the Rockets’ overall record for the season stands at 38-37.

Latest Injury Updates for Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets

Golden State Warriors injury update for April 4th

The Warriors’ injury report includes three players: Jonathan Kuminga (knee) listed as questionable, Gary Payton II (ankle) listed as probable, and Dario Saric (knee) listed as available.

Despite coach Steve Kerr’s previous statement that Kuminga would return to the lineup for tonight’s game, his status is currently listed as questionable due to bilateral knee tendonitis. Kuminga has missed the Warriors’ past four games, but there is still a possibility he may play in Thursday’s matchup.

In the meantime, Trayce Jackson-Davis has taken over the starting position, and Kevon Looney has returned to the rotation. If Kuminga is given the green light to play against the Rockets, he would likely resume his starting role.

Houston Rockets injury update for April 4

According to the Rockets’ injury report, three players will not be available for their upcoming game due to injuries: Tari Eason (leg), Steven Adams (knee), and Alperen Sengun (ankle, knee).

When Sengun suffered his injury about a month before the regular season ended on April 14, there were speculations that the Grade 3 ankle sprain would end his 2023-24 season early.

Despite not being conclusively ruled out at the time, reports did not completely dismiss the possibility of a potential return. As the play-in race grows more competitive, the chance of Sengun making a comeback continues to be a viable option.
