According to Danny Emerman of The San Jose Mercury News, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) is expected to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. The veteran has missed the last two games after suffering a pelvic contusion in a recent win over the Toronto Raptors. Curry has appeared in 10 games during March while posting averages of 25.0 points, 6.1 assists, 4.1 three-pointers, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals across 32.8 minutes per game. For fantasy managers, the superstar guard is a must-start anytime he is available to suit up.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) is questionable for Friday's game in New Orleans. The veteran has missed the last two games after suffering a pelvic contusion in a recent win over the Toronto Raptors. Brandin Podziemski has been handling most of the duties at the one, with the 22-year-old most recently amassing 14 points and two steals in Tuesday's loss to the Miami Heat. If Curry remains sidelined, Podziemski, Jimmy Butler III, Jonathan Kuminga, and Draymond Green should benefit the most offensively, although there's room for added production from Moses Moody and Buddy Hield.
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
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) will miss the start of the team's six-game road trip, which starts on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Curry's MRI confirmed a contusion in his pelvic area with no structural damage. This comes as great news since Curry would have missed significantly less time if it were the other way around. Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody will see a bump in usage, while one of Jonathan Kuminga and Gary Payton II (knee) could move into the starting five. Podziemski and Moody present the most consistent streaming options, as they've registered a 17.7% and 17.6% usage rate, respectively.
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (rest) is set to re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors. Golden State rested Curry on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, the veteran star has not been listed on the injury report for Thursday. Although Curry's shooting efficiency has been lacking in recent games, he can still be satisfied with his form. Over nine appearances in March, Curry has averaged 25.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.7 assists, with the team going 7-2 with him in the lineup.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (rest) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee. He had 20 points in Monday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, although he shot a rough 4-for-14 from behind the three-point line. 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. Draymond Green, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody should also see more looks at the basket without Curry on the floor.
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry may sit out Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Following Monday's 114-105 loss to a short-handed Denver Nuggets, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr noted that Curry needs rest. "He's tired," Kerr said after Curry logged 35 minutes against the Nuggets. "Steph's been carrying us for a month. He's been amazing. He's tired, so we got to get him some rest. Just you can see it. He doesn't have his energy right now." Curry was limited to 20 points on horrible 6-for-21 shooting Monday night. Brandin Podziemski (back) is expected to return on Tuesday and could slot straight into Curry's spot in the starting lineup. Jimmy Butler III and Draymond Green are expected to take on more playmaking duties if Curry sits out the game.
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (back) is set to play in Monday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors leader is dealing with a lower back strain but has been listed as active for the contest. It remains to be seen whether Curry will also be healthy enough to play on Tuesday when Golden State completes a back-to-back against the Milwaukee Bucks. In recent weeks, Curry has taken his play to a new level, averaging 26.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.6 assists this month.
