SAN FRANCISCO – Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler will return to the lineup for Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round series against the Houston Rockets on Monday night.

Butler’s return is a significant boost for the Warriors, who won Game 3 without him 104-93, but saw him limited to just eight minutes in their Game 2 loss (109-94). Stephen Curry led the charge in Game 3 with 36 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds. Golden State currently holds a 2-1 series lead.
