According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) will be out of action against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. He will be out for a second consecutive game due to a pelvic contusion. Curry practiced on Monday but is now expected to return Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic. With the superstar guard on the shelf this evening, Brandon Podziemski, Moses Moody, and Buddy Hield will be relied upon to contribute more. Moody had one of his best games of the season on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing a 124-115 loss with 20 points, four rebounds, five assists, one block, and two steals in 35 minutes of work.
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Miami Heat. He could be out for a second consecutive game due to a pelvic contusion. Curry practiced on Monday, which is a good sign regarding his potential return. However, he has not yet been officially cleared. Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, and Buddy Hield must contribute more with Curry out of the lineup. Moody had one of his best games of the season on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing a 124-115 loss with 20 points.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) is out for Saturday's game against the Hawks. The multi-time All-Star had 17 points in Thursday's three-point win over the Toronto Raptors. However, he sustained a pelvic contusion after a hard fall and was ruled out after just 25 minutes of work. Curry underwent an MRI, which didn't reveal any structural damage. But the contusion could be enough to keep him off the floor for at least a few games. Without him, Brandin Podziemski will likely take over at the one, increasing his fantasy potential. Jonathan Kuminga, Jimmy Butler III, and Moses Moody should also see more scoring opportunities.
Stephen Curry Set To Miss Start Of Warriors' Road Trip

With the Warriors having won their previous seven games before the streak was snapped on Monday night, Golden State will look to Jimmy Butler III and Jonathan Kuminga the most to help the team get back on track.

He doesn't have his energy right now." Curry was limited to 20 points on horrible 6-for-21 shooting Monday night.
