Stephen Curry (hip) sitting out Friday for Warriors' second leg
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hip) is out Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
The Warriors are giving Curry, Klay Thompson (injury management), Andrew Wiggins (foot), Draymond Green (toe), and Andre Iguodala (hip) the night off in the second leg of a back-to-back. He played 43 minutes in Thursday night's overtime loss to the Boston Celtics and scored 29 points (9-25 field goals, 6-18 3-pointers, 5-5 free throws) with 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Look for Jordan Poole to lead the Warriors' offense on Friday, with Jonathan Kuminga (foot, probable), Anthony Lamb, and Moses Moody also taking on larger roles.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Warriors have the lowest implied total (108.25) out of the 18 active teams on Friday. Poole has a 36.5% usage rate and is averaging 35.1 FanDuel points in 14 games without Curry this season.
