Availability
Stephen Curry scored 15 points (3-13 FG, 2-9 3PT, 7-7 FT) to go with nine rebounds and seven assists in Thursday night's 99-98 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Fantasy Impact
Curry was in a bit of a shooting slump on Thursday night. He missed all but a few of his shots from the field, but he was able to make up for that by contributing well in several other areas of the game. He remains the most trustworthy player on this otherwise unreliable Golden State team.
Stephen Curry exploded for 48 points (16-26 FG, 12-19 3PT, 4-4 FT) in Sunday's 136-131 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He also added three rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals.
Fantasy Impact
Sunday marked the fourth time this season that Curry has scored at least 40 points, demonstrating the upside he still possesses at 37 years old. In two December games, he’s averaging 43.5 points, four rebounds, three assists and 1.5 steals, and he’ll look to carry that momentum into Thursday’s game against the Phoenix Suns.
Stephen Curry flirted with a triple-double for the Warriors Friday night, dishing out five assists, grabbing five rebounds, and exploding for 39 points (14-38 FG, 6-15 3PT, 5-7 FT) in a 127-120 loss to the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
Curry continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor, dishing out two or more assists, grabbing two or more rebounds, and scoring 14 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran guard continues to flash explosive offensive output while leading an aging Golden State starting five, averaging 28.5 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.8 rebounds per game while carrying a usage rate of 33.0% so far this season.
Stephen Curry is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
Curry was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, including scrimmaging, and is cleared to play in Friday’s game. It’s unclear whether he will be on a minutes restriction after missing the Golden State Warriors’ last five contests. With his return, Pat Spencer, Will Richard, Brandin Podziemski and De’Anthony Melton could all see a dip in minutes.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Steph Curry practiced on Wednesday and could return on Friday against the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
Kerr said Curry was a full-go at practice, including scrimmaging. He will have a chance to return on Friday from his quad injury, but he has not gotten the green light yet.
