The headline game of the 15 matchups taking place during the final day of the NBA regular season will be between the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers. Steph Curry and company sit in sixth place in the Western Conference, one game behind the Clippers, with the results of Sunday set to decide seeds 4-7 in the conference. The Clippers and Warriors directly facing off adds an interesting wrinkle in this with one of these two teams, the Timberwolves, or the Nuggets set to drop to the play-in tournament depending on the results of the day.
Golden State received some unfortunate injury news for their outlook as Steph Curry is listed as questionable for the regular season finale. The 11-time All-Star has been battling a thumb injury which he reinjured Friday night against the Trail Blazers.
While Curry is doing his best to downplay the situation, the thumb is a concern. He was held to an uncharacteristic 14 points on 6-for-14 from the field and 2-for-8 on three-point attempts against the Trail Blazers. Curry was also seen shaking out the hand, grabbing it, or looking in pain on a few occasions.
If he can go, he surely will play for the Warriors with so much on the line from a seeding perspective. But keep an eye on the injury report leading up to the game and this is the type of issue that could have an impact on his level of play. The Warriors enter this Western Conference matchup as three-point favorites and -148 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Clippers hold +124 odds on the Moneyline and the game total is set at 217.5.
On the season overall, Curry is averaging 24.4 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game. He is leading the NBA in three-point makes and attempts per game while shooting 39.4% from beyond the three-point arc overall. Golden State has gone 23-6 with Jimmy Butler in the lineup with Curry averaging 27.5 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.3 rebounds alongside the midseason addition.
DraftKings Sportsbook lists Curry’s props as over/under 25.5 points, 5.5 assists, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.5 made three-pointers in this Sunday matchup.
