Steph will miss the rest of the game vs. Toronto with a pelvic contusion, the Warriors announced.
Quinten Post, Brandin Podziemski, and Jonathan Kuminga combined for 49 markers as Golden State moved to 41-29 this season and 16-2 when Butler plays.
On the other hand, Scottie Barnes paced the Raptors with 25 points but Toronto lost back-to-back games after winning six of their last seven games beforehand.
The Warriors visit the Hawks (33-36) in Atlanta next while the Raptors return home to host the San Antonio Spurs (29-39).
