The Houston Rockets couldn’t put the Warriors away without Jimmy Butler and now find themselves behind the eight ball, down 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.
They head to Golden State for a must-win matchup on Monday night, where the Rockets are 3.5-point underdogs.
Star wing, Jimmy Butler, who is still nursing an injury sustained in Game 2, is listed as questionable for tonight’s matchup.

Rockets vs. Warriors prediction
Golden State dusted off a new lineup ahead of Game 3, and it actually gave Houston fits, as the Warriors’ bench was then able to show up in a big way.
Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield combined for 33 points off the bench as Golden State smashed Houston in the second half.
The X-Factor in tonight’s game is whether Butler plays.
Basically, all player prop projections hinge on his availability.
Should Butler play, the Warriors could run away with this one easily.
If he sits, Butler is worth about 1.5 points to the spread.
Golden State opened as four-point favorites with some action coming in on the Rockets to move the line to 3.5.
Keep an eye on the injury report but my model is showing some value on the over 202 total points.
Betting on the NBA?
My projected score is 104.15 to 100.77, giving us a solid edge on the total for tonight’s game.
PICK: Over 202 total points (-115, Caesars)
