Jimmy Butler is officially back in the starting lineup for the Golden State Warriors as they prepare to face the Houston Rockets in Game 4 of their playoff series. After missing Game 3 due to a pelvic contusion, Butler's return is crucial for the Warriors, who managed to secure a win in Game 3 without him. Stephen Curry's 36-point performance highlighted that victory, demonstrating his ability to dominate despite tight defense. Coach Steve Kerr expressed confidence that Butler would not have any minutes restriction if cleared to play.

The Warriors lead the series 2-1, and Butler's presence will be vital against a Rockets team that displayed scoring depth but struggled offensively in previous games. With Butler back, the Warriors are expected to optimize their offensive capabilities, making them even more formidable as they aim to capitalize on their series lead.
