Stephen Curry (knee) not starting but will play for Warriors in Game 2
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) will come off the bench as he returns to action in Game 2 versus the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Curry has been out since March 23 with a sprained MCL but has been cleared to play in Game 2 on Tuesday. Andre Iguodala and Nick Young will both remain in the starting lineup on Tuesday as the Dubs try to limit Curry's minutes and have him come off the bench against the Pelicans. No word on an exact minutes restriction for the two-time MVP.
Our models had Curry projected for 37.6 FanDuel points in 30.2 minutes, but with him coming off the bench, those numbers and expectations should be tempered.
