Stephen

Curry

While Saturday wasn’t Curry’s worst scoring effort of the season (12 points), it was his worst regarding field goal percentage (31.3%). Curry will bounce back, possibly as soon as Monday’s game against the Nets. Golden State plays three games in Week 6.

Curry, Green, and Waters were initially probable for Saturday’s game, so this was the expected outcome. They make up three-fifths of the Warriors’ starting lineup, with Andrew Wiggins and Trayce Jackson-Davis completing the quintet.

Golden State’s stars end up on the injury report for the second night of a back-to-back, but both players should be able to suit up against the Spurs in this game.

Curry has taken a step back as a scorer this season, but it hasn’t resulted in his 9-cat value taking a high. He has shot the ball more efficiently so far, and he has been able to contribute more rebounds, assists and steals than he did last year. It has been working for both his 9-cat value and for the team’s success as they currently sit atop the West, and Curry sits in the top ten in 9-cat scoring. He has been dealing with a knee issue, and the Warriors will play in San Antonio on the second night of a back-to-back on Saturday, so keep an eye on Steph’s status.

Curry was initially listed as probable for this game, and now he has officially been cleared. He should continue to but up elite numbers, with the only potential limitation being a lopsided score against a struggling Pelicans squad.

Curry continues to manage this knee issue, but it hasn’t forced him to miss any time yet. That will continue against New Orleans, barring any last minute changes. Despite playing just 29.2 minutes per game this season, Curry has once again been a top ten player in fantasy basketball.

Curry didn’t have to do too much in this blowout victory and was locked in from every spot on the floor. The Warriors sharpshooter has made at least three triples in five straight contests while converting them at a 43.1% clip. The Dubs could require him to step things up offensively in the aftermath of De’Anthony Melton’s season-ending ACL injury.

No surprise here. Curry played through this same injury on Monday against the Clippers. He should see his full complement of minutes, though Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski would likely see more minutes if Curry is limited in any way.

While Curry played through his injury on Monday in a three-point loss to the Clippers, Looney was held out. His availability does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as the Warriors can rely on Trayce Jackson-Davis and Draymond Green for frontcourt minutes. Curry should be available, but Buddy Hield and Brandin Podziemski would see their roles expand if he is not.

After the Grizzlies limited him to 13 points on Friday, Curry doubled his output in Monday’s defeat. He spent the final seconds searching for a second opportunity to tie the game after missing his first attempt, but the Clippers managed to force Curry to pass the ball to Gary Payton II. GPII missed as time expired, and the Clippers had their second win over the Warriors this season. Golden State plays three more games in Week 5, beginning with the Hawks on Wednesday.
