On Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors will return to Los Angeles to play the LA Clippers. The Warriors will try to break the stalemate with a victory in this game after they have split the season series 1-1 with the Clippers thus far.
Steph Curry is listed as healthy for this game on both teams’ injury reports, which indicates he will play. Naturally, Draymond Green will not be playing for the Warriors as he is suspended indefinitely by the NBA, but Curry will be leading the way.
When Golden State visited Los Angeles earlier this month, the Clippers and Warriors played a thrilling game in which Paul George made the game-winning three pointer with the Clippers behind by more than 20 points. The Warriors have struggled this season to hold leads along with a number of other issues, and the Clippers capitalized on that.
Curry’s play, which has averaged 29.1 points per game this season despite being the target of the other team’s defense every single night, has been one of Golden State’s few shining moments. Due to the struggles of Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson, opponents have focused even more on Curry, frequently sending multiple defenders to take the ball out of his hands.
In the second half of their previous encounter, the Clippers effectively guarded Curry, and they will try to do the same in this one.
