The Golden State Warriors face a pivotal Game 6 against the Houston Rockets, with Stephen Curry’s thumb injury becoming a focal point of the series. Defensive strategies employed by the Rockets, particularly by Dillon Brooks, appear to target Curry's vulnerable thumb, which he aggravated prior to the series. Despite averaging 23.4 points per game with impressive shooting percentages, Curry continues to play with his thumb wrapped. The Warriors confirmed he is available for Game 6, alongside Gary Payton II, who is also overcoming a thumb injury. The Rockets have yet to release their injury report as the crucial matchup approaches.
