Stephen Curry (conditioning) will be limited for Warriors at start
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (conditioning) is not expected to play "30-plus minutes a night" to start the season, per head coach Steve Kerr.
What It Means:
“I don’t think we’re ready to have our top five or six guys play 30-plus minutes a night," Kerr said. "We have to rely on our depth.” That group presumably includes Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, Kevon Looney. As a result, there should be larger roles for Jordan Poole, Donte DiVincenzo, Jonathan Kuminga, and James Wiseman to start the season. The Warriors will host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night in the season-opener.
numberFire's models project Steph for 28.6 minutes and 33.8 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $10,000 salary on the two-game Main slate. For the season, we project Steph to average 34.4 minutes, 25.8 points, 4.6 boards, 6.5 assists, 1.4 steals, and 4.4 3-pointers per contest.
