    The Golden State Warriors play the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Arena in Cleveland on Saturday.

    The Golden State Warriors travel to Cleveland Saturday to face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers and they'll be looking to avoid falling to a three-game losing streak in the process. 

    The Warriors dropped to 11-12 after a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, while the Cavaliers have cooled off since their strong start to the season, but still sit at a heathy 14-10 record. 

    Cleveland has been contending with several long term injuries this season, while Golden State's injury status has been in a constant state of flux, and received some new updates to it ahead of Saturday's matchup.

    Warriors Injury Report

    Steph Curry (quad) is OUT with a left quadricep contusion. Curry hasn't played since Nov. 26 due to the injury.

    Jimmy Butler III (knee) is QUESTIONABLE to play Saturday. Butler III was absent for the Warriors' last game against the Philadelphia 76ers, but an upgrade to questionable status to more positive news than a definitive out, even if there's still no guarantee that Butler III will make it on the court by game time. 

    Seth Curry (toe) is QUESTIONABLE for Saturday's game with right toe soreness. Curry has played in both Warriors' games since he rejoined the team on Dec. 1.

    Draymond Green (foot) is QUESTIONABLE to play against the Cavaliers with a right foot sprain. 

    Al Horford (sciatic nerve) is OUT due to the sciatic nerve irritation on his right side that has plagued him lately. Horford played against the 76ers on Dec. 4, but missed four straight games before that. It seems that his appearance on the court last game pushed him over the edge and is forcing him to rest his sciatic nerve irritation again.

    De'Anthony Melton (knee) is QUESTIONABLE for Saturday's game. Melton made his season debut against the 76ers on Thursday after retuning for a torn ACL last season, but the Warriors aren't looking to push his freshly repaired knee past it's limits and may consider resting him on Saturday to manage his injury.

    Alex Toohey (knee) remains OUT due to a persistent left knee injury. Toohey has yet to play for the Warriors this season.

    Cavaliers Injury Report

    Jarrett Allen (finger) is OUT with a strained finger. This will be the fifth straight game that Allen will miss due to the strain, but he could be nearing a return soon.

    Lonzo Ball (knee) is OUT due to injury management for his left knee. Ball played Friday, but with Cleveland playing the second leg of back-to-back games and Ball's history of knee issues, the Cavaliers have elected to rest him Saturday.

    Sam Merrill (hand) is OUT, missing his 10th straight game on Saturday due to a hand sprain.

    Larry Nance Jr. (calf) is OUT Saturday. Nance Jr. will miss his fifth straight game due to a calf strain, and he's expected to miss three to four weeks with the injury.

    Max Strus (foot) remains OUT as he recovers from surgery to repair a left foot fracture. Initially expected to miss three to four months, a recent update by ESPN's Brian Windhorst says that Strus is recovering quickly and could be weeks away from a return, as apposed to months. 

    Tyrese Proctor (personal reasons) is OUT for Saturday.
