Curry's lackluster performance could be attributed to having a right thumb split. While the Warriors were traveling from San Francisco to Houston, Curry was seen without his splint, and it appears as if his injured right thumb has swollen up pretty severely.

Because of this, both Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry were able to get some extra rest for their lingering injuries. For Butler, he is still dealing with the pelvic and glute contusion that he suffered in Game 2 of the series while Curry is dealing with a lingering right thumb injury.
