Stephen

Curry

Curry continues to deal with a pelvic contusion while Butler has a forearm injury. While both players are listed as questionable, which implies a legitimate chance to miss the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters that everyone will be available against the Nuggets.

For just the fourth time this season, Curry shot double-digit free throws, and the Warriors are now 4-0 when he does. In fact, his 14 attempts were a new season-high and the most he has shot in a game since 2021. This performance came on the heels of him scoring 52 points with 12 triples in a win over Memphis, and while Curry didn’t replicate that type of production, his 37 points with only four threes was still impressive. This was only the 12th time in Steph’s career that he had at least 35 points while making four or fewer triples.

Curry produced a masterclass in Memphis, making history on multiple fronts. He scored 32 points and hit eight three-pointers in the first half. He has the most halves of at least eight three-pointers in NBA history with six, and his 22 30-point halves are tied for third all-time with LeBron James. By the game’s end, Curry had 12 three-pointers and an elite double-double. He’s made 12 three-pointers in a game four times, with Tuesday’s effort breaking a tie with former teammate Klay Thompson for the most in league history. And Curry has made at least 10 three-pointers in a game 27 times. He’ll look to stay hot on Thursday when the Warriors visit the Lakers.

Curry didn’t do much on Sunday, which was bad news for fantasy managers counting on an elite performance to close out Week 21. However, the Warriors did not need much from their superstar, as the team scored 148 points and shot nearly 58 percent from the field. For Curry managers who have a championship to compete for in Week 22, the Warriors play four games. Hopefully, he can rebound from Sunday’s pedestrian performance.

Curry was given a probable tag on Saturday, so his availability on Sunday isn’t a surprise. Expect him to handle his usual workload as the Dubs play their fourth-straight road game.

Curry returned from a two-game absence to score 23 points with five made three-pointers against the Pelicans Friday. The 37-year-old point guard is likely to suit up Sunday given his probable listing. Fantasy managers can insert him into lineups as usual.

Curry missed Golden State’s last two games with a hip injury, but he returned to the court at Smoothie King Center to help the Dubs snap a two-game skid. Golden State has three more games left on its six-game road trip, and they’ll cap it off with triples to San Antonio, Memphis and Los Angeles before returning home on April 4.

Curry is back after a two-game absence, and no effort will be required to insert him back into the starting lineup. Gary Payton II is out indefinitely with a thumb injury, so Curry can fill that vacancy if Steve Kerr takes this approach. That would leave Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moddy in the starting lineup.

Curry has missed Golden State’s last two games, but he’ll likely return to action against New Orleans. His availability is great news for a Warriors team that’s dropped two straight. Curry’s return coincides with Gary Payton II’s absence due to a thumb injury, so he can fill that space in the starting five.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters he’s optimistic Curry will play Friday against the Pelicans. It seems like the 37-year-old point guard has a good chance of playing despite the questionable listing. Curry missed Tuesday’s game against the Heat with a pelvic contusion.
