Curry contributed 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 109-106 victory over the Rockets in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler back in the lineup Monday, Curry was content to let someone else take on the scoring load. It's the first time this postseason the veteran guard has scored fewer than 20 points or drained fewer than four three-pointers, but he's still averaging 26.0 points, 6.0 assists, 5.3 boards, 4.0 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks through four games. Curry is more than capable of flipping the switch in Game 5 on Wednesday as the Warriors look to punch their tickets to the second round.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Vintage performance in Game 3
Rotowire
Curry closed with 36 points (12-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 win over Houston in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler (pelvis) out for Game 3, Curry put the Warriors' offense on his back, tallying a game-high 36 points while finishing one dime shy of a double-double. The Rockets' defense swarmed Curry throughout the game, which freed up space for Gary Payton (16 points) and Buddy Hield (17 points) to hit open shots. Including Golden State's Play-In Game win over the Grizzlies, Curry has averaged 31.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 39.2 minutes per game over his last four outings while connecting on 45.5 percent of his three-point attempts.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Hits for 20 in Game 2 loss
Rotowire
Curry contributed a team-high 20 points (6-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to Houston in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The Warriors lost Jimmy Butler (pelvis) in the first quarter, and no one else stepped up to support Curry -- Moses Moody and Quinten Post tied for second on the team with 12 points each. Curry drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight games, stretching back to the end of the regular season, averaging 27.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 4.6 threes, and 1.1 steals during that span. He'll need to stay hot when the series shifts to Golden State for Game 3 on Saturday.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Pours in game-high 31 in win
Rotowire
Curry accumulated a game-high 31 points (12-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 95-85 victory over Houston in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Curry and Jimmy Butler combined for 56 points, while the Warriors' defense held the Rockets to 39.1 percent shooting from the floor and a woeful 20.7 percent from beyond the arc in the victory. Curry has been on fire in April, averaging 30.1 points, 5.6 boards, 5.4 assists, 5.2 threes and 1.4 steals in 10 contests.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Drops 37 in playoff-clinching win
Rotowire
Curry finished Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game win over Memphis with 37 points (9-22 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 13-13 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes.
While Jimmy Butler's 38 points were just a little bit better, Curry still delivered a vintage scoring effort as the Warriors locked up the seventh seed in the Western Conference Playoffs. The 37-year-old guard appears fully healthy, producing at least 30 points in six of nine April appearances while averaging 5.2 three-pointers per game, and he'll get a few days to rest up before Golden State's first-round clash with a much younger, but not as battle-tested, Houston squad.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Team-high 36 points not enough
Rotowire
Curry finished Sunday's 124-119 overtime loss to the Clippers with 36 points (10-20 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals in 38 minutes.
The superstar guard generated his 21st performance of at least 30 points this season, but it wasn't enough to propel Golden State into postseason contention. As a result, Curry and the Warriors are now set to face the Grizzlies in a Play-In Tournament matchup Tuesday. Curry has averaged 29.1 points, 5.9 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 5.1 three-pointers in 32.9 minutes over eight outings in April, having also gone a scintillating 38-for-39 from the foul line this month.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Will play Sunday
Rotowire
Curry (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Curry was surprisingly given a questionable tag for the regular-season finale, but coach Steve Kerr said after shootaround that he expected his superstar point guard to play. Over his last nine appearances, Curry has averaged 25.9 points, 5.9 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 31.8 minutes per game. Given the seeding implications of Sunday's game, Curry will likely have heavy usage versus the Clippers.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Likely to play vs. LAC
Rotowire
Curry (thumb) has been listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Curry is dealing with a thumb injury on his shooting hand but is trending toward playing Sunday. The Warriors are trying to secure a spot in the first round of the NBA playoffs rather than having to go through the Play-In Tournament, which is why the superstar will likely be on the floor to face the Clippers.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Curry is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to a right thumb sprain.
Curry exited Friday's game against the Trail Blazers but returned briefly due to a right thumb injury, and the same injury has him on the injury report ahead of the regular-season finale. It's an important game for the Warriors, though, so they need Curry at his best. The star floor general is averaging 24.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 4.4 three-pointers per game in 69 appearances.

Curry (thumb) checked back in at the 8:02 mark of the second quarter of Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Curry left late in the first quarter after appearing to injure his right thumb, but after being checked on by trainers he was cleared to return.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Exits game due to thumb injury
Rotowire
Curry went to the locker room in the first quarter of Friday's game against Portland due to a right thumb injury, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Curry appeared to suffer the injury when his right hand jammed on the knee of Justin Minaya, and the former was replaced by Brandin Podziemski at the 1:59 mark of the first quarter before heading to the locker room. Podziemski, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton would stand to see their minutes and roles increase if Curry is unable to return Friday.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Drops 30 points in shocking loss
Rotowire
Curry ended Wednesday's 114-111 loss to the Spurs with 30 points (12-24 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals across 37 minutes.
The Warriors may have lost their bid to stay out of the play-in tournament, but no blame can be placed on Curry. As usual, the All-Star has carried the team on his shoulders this season with dynamic shotmaking, and he's been given additional freedom to roam with the help of his new-look supporting cast. Curry had a rare dud of a game against Houston over the weekend, but he's responded with two superb lines. He'll need to be on point in the team's final two games to improve their postseason chances.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Logs 25 points in blowout
Rotowire
Curry recorded 25 points (9-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 133-95 victory over Phoenix.
Curry's totals could have easily been higher, but the Warriors led by as many as 43 points in the rout, and the superstar's services weren't needed any longer. He ended up sitting in the fourth quarter alongside the rest of the starting lineup. It was a nice bounce-back for Curry, who managed only three points in Monday's loss to Houston. The Warriors are jockeying for playoff position and need a productive week from Curry as they try to stay out of the play-in tournament.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Held to three points
Rotowire
Curry recorded three points (1-10 FG, 1-8 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 106-96 loss to the Rockets.
With three points in 33 minutes, this scoring performance was a career-low mark for Curry when playing at least 30 minutes. The Rockets had a clear plan for him, guarding him with Amen Thompson and frequently doubling. Considering Curry scored 36, 37 and 52 points in his previous three games, fantasy managers can chalk this up as a rare outlier performance.

Curry closed with 36 points (13-24 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 118-104 win over the Nuggets.
Curry is on an impressive run, averaging an eye-popping 41.7 points over the past three games. As usual, the key to Curry's success came from his proficiency beyond the arc, and he's leaned on that skill often over the team's five consecutive wins. Curry made 30 three-pointers with a conversion rate of 45.5 percent during the winning streak.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Available to play Friday
Rotowire
Curry (pelvis) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Curry was initially tabbed as a game-time decision for Friday, but the star floor general will suit up and should handle his regular workload, mainly on the offensive end of the court. Curry has been on a tear of late and has scored a combined 89 points over his last two appearances in wins over the Grizzlies and Lakers earlier this month.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Game-time decision Friday
Rotowire
Curry (pelvis), who is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets, will go through his pregame warmup and is a game-time decision, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Curry is still dealing with a pelvic contusion that he sustained against the Raptors on March 20. However, head coach Steve Kerr said that he's hopeful the superstar will play in the second night of the club's back-to-back set, per Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports. If Curry is sidelined against Denver, Brandin Podziemski, Buddy Hield and Pat Spencer are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Listed as questionable Friday
Rotowire
Curry is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to a bruised tailbone, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Curry missed three of four games toward the end of March due to this injury, but he has appeared in four straight since, scoring 89 points (26-52 FG, 16-31 3Pt, 21-22 FT) over his past two appearances. Curry fell hard during Thursday's win over the Lakers and landed on his tailbone, grimacing while he worked his way to the free-throw line. However, the superstar point guard stayed in the game and was sharp the rest of the way. Jimmy Butler (forearm) is also questionable for the second half of Golden State's back-to-back set.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Explodes for 37 points in victory
Rotowire
Curry supplied 37 points (10-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 13-14 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 34 minutes during Thursday's 123-116 victory over the Lakers.
The Warriors' backcourt sizzled with Curry and Brandin Podziemski combining for 65 points during the potential playoff preview. Curry kept the ball rolling after posting his second-highest total of the season (52) against Memphis. Although his work beyond the arc wasn't his best, his shot volume from deep has been remarkable. He's heaved up the ball from downtown an eye-popping 31 times over the past two games, with a conversion percentage of 51.6 percent.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Bounces back against Memphis
Rotowire
Curry recorded 52 points (16-31 FG, 12-20 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and five steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 134-125 win over Memphis.
After scoring just 13 points in his most recent outing, Curry scored his second-most points of the season with 52 in Tuesday's victory over the Grizzlies. The superstar guard tied his season high with 12 made threes and was perfect from the charity stripe. Curry's explosion from behind the arc is a welcome sign, as he had converted just 33.3 percent of his 10.2 three-point attempts per contest across his previous five appearances.
