The Houston Rockets look to stave off elimination once again when they visit the Golden State Warriors Friday night. The Warriors are up 3-2, and a Rockets win on Friday would send the series back to Houston for Game 7 on Sunday. 

Jimmy Butler missed nearly two full games this series due to injury, but he has scored at least 25 points twice, both of which came in Warriors wins. Butler is one of three legs in today's NBA same-game parlay created using the SportsLine Projection Model.
