Golden State is set to compete against the Minnesota Timberwolves, playing on the road for their first two matchups. As the Warriors prepare to face an emerging Western Conference contender, led by Anthony Edwards, NBA insider Brian Windhorst revealed an important update on Stephen Curry's nagging thumb injury.

Gary Payton II -- who is a key member of the Warriors' rotation -- has been deemed questionable ahead of Game 7. On the other side, the Rockets remain without Jock Landale and Jae'Sean Tate. Heading into the final matchup of the lone first-round series yet to be decided, the Warriors are in Houston as 2.5-point underdogs.
