Warriors' Draymond Green: Three swipes in loss
Green finished with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to Houston in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Green wasn't able to pick up the slack for Golden State following the injury suffered by Jimmy Butler (pelvis) eight minutes into Game 2. However, he did tie a game-high for steals, with Houston's Fred VanVleet and Jalen Green also coming away with three swipes. If Butler is limited or can't play moving forward, head coach Steve Kerr will likely look to Green to step up, as the series is now tied at one game apiece.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Drops 12 in Game 2 loss
Moody contributed 12 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After eight straight games of failing to crack double digits in the scoring column, Moody was able to see some shots fall Wednesday, helping make up for the offensive production lost due to Jimmy Butler's pelvic injury. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to secure the win and take a 2-0 commanding lead heading into Game 3 in San Francisco, as now the series has a chance to go the distance, especially if Butler is unable to play or is limited moving forward.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Sees 13 minutes
Looney closed Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 13 minutes.
After seeing nine minutes in Game 1, Looney saw a slight increase in minutes Wednesday -- Jimmy Butler left after eight minutes with a pelvic contusion and Brandin Podziemski was limited to 14 minutes due to an illness. Quinten Post, who had 12 points in 25 minutes, is likely to remain the primary big off the bench for Golden State.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Sees 12 minutes
Spencer recorded 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler forced to leave this contest after eight minutes with a pelvic contusion and Brandin Podziemski battling an illness, several players including Spencer and Jonathan Kuminga were asked to step up. Spencer's role was much smaller than Kuminga's, however, and he did play the final few minutes of garbage time in this blowout as well. If Butler is able to play in Game 3, Spencer likely won't see the floor.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Makes impact off bench
Kuminga logged 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to Houston in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Kuminga, who appeared in his first game since April 11 due to falling out of the rotation, had some nice moments in this game. Jimmy Butler went down early with a pelvic contusion after eight minutes, and coach Steve Kerr rolled with Kuminga the rest of the evening. Butler is scheduled for an MRI on Thursday, and if he's unable to play in Game 3, Kuminga appears likely to start in his place, according to coach Steve Kerr.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Drains four threes in Game 2
Post totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After failing to score a point in 12 minutes during a Game 1 win for the Warriors, Post was a lot more involved in the offense Wednesday. His increased usage was likely the result of Jimmy Butler (pelvis) being unable to finish the game, and if Butler isn't fully fit for Game 3 on Saturday, Post could have some DFS appeal as a bargain option.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Blanked while battling illness
Podziemski totaled zero points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The second-year guard misses the entire second quarter and the beginning of the second half due to an illness, and he clearly wasn't 100 percent when he was on the court, failing to pick up any secondary stats in addition to missing all his shot attempts. Podziemski will have a couple of days to recover before the series shifts to Golden State for Game 3 on Saturday.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Hits for 20 in Game 2 loss
Curry contributed a team-high 20 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to Houston in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The Warriors lost Jimmy Butler (pelvis) in the first quarter, and no one else stepped up to support Curry -- Moses Moody and Quinten Post tied for second on the team with 12 points each. Curry drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight games, stretching back to the end of the regular season, averaging 27.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 4.6 threes, and 1.1 steals during that span. He'll need to stay hot when the series shifts to Golden State for Game 3 on Saturday.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Cleared for return
Podziemski (illness) is available to return to Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Podziemski missed the entirety of the second quarter and the start of the third period due to illness, but he's emerged from the Warriors' locker room and is available to return. With Jimmy Butler (pelvis) ruled out for the rest of the contest, Golden State may lean on Podziemski more offensively.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Won't return Wednesday
Butler has been diagnosed with a pelvis contusion and will not return to Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Butler took a hard fall during the first quarter after being undercut by Amen Thompson while jumping for a rebound and looked to be in significant pain. While early indications are that it isn't a severe injury, Butler will be unable to play for the remainder of Wednesday's contest. He'll have two full days to heal before Game 3 on Saturday. In the meantime, look for Jonathan Kuminga, Gui Santos and Gary Payton to see more run. Per Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle, Butler will undergo an MRI on Thursday.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Questionable to return
Podziemski is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to illness.
Podziemski was a late addition to the Warriors' injury report Wednesday afternoon due to a stomach illness, and although he suited up, Podziemski went back to the locker room after the first quarter and is now questionable to return. Pat Spencer and Buddy Hield figure to see an uptick in minutes while Podziemski is idle.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Goes to locker room
Podziemski was escorted back to the locker room between the first and second quarter of Wednesday's game against the Rockets for unknown reasons, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Podziemski was previously listed on Golden State's injury report due to illness, but it's unclear if his exit is related to sickness. Regardless, he joins Jimmy Butler in the Warriors' locker room. Look for Buddy Hield, Pat Spencer and Gary Payton to pick up the slack while Podziemski is out.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Heads to locker room
Butler has exited Wednesday's Game 2 against Houston and headed back to the locker room with an apparent tailbone injury, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Butler got undercut while going up for a rebound and was grabbing at his tailbone area before exiting the floor. While he's idle, look for Gui Santos and Gary Payton to see more action, though Jonathan Kuminga could see some run after being a DNP-CD in Game 1.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Cleared for Game 2
Podziemski (illness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Podziemski was added to the injury report Wednesday afternoon due to an illness, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go for Game 2. The second-year guard dropped 14 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes in Game 1.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Downgraded to questionable
Podziemski (illness) is listed as questionable for Game 2 against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Podziemski was a late addition to the injury report just hours before the Game 2 tipoff. The 22-year-old was productive in multiple facets during the Game 1 win, tallying 14 points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals. If he's ruled out, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton are candidates to start in his place Wednesday.
