Stephen Curry Drops 34 Points In Defeat
Stephen Curry finished with 34 points after firing up 16 three-point attempts during Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves. Curry enjoyed unquestioned No. 1 scoring option status with Klay Thompson (illness) sidelined, as he added five rebounds and four assists across his 33 minutes. While Curry knocked down five triples, the rest of the Warriors combined to go 8-for-29 from distance. Curry, who has cut a nearly unsustainable pace for himself behind the arc throughout his career, sits at 37.5% on the season from three-point range, on pace for his lowest mark across a full season. He remains a fantasy juggernaut due to his shooting prowess, especially when Thompson is not in the mix. Curry's next matchup comes Thursday vs. Dallas, who has held him to 6-for-29 shooting from behind the arc in three outings this year.

Stephen Curry Ruled Out For At Least One Week
Stephen Curry (hamstring) will miss at least one week of action. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain on Wednesday, and the team announced that Curry will be re-evaluated in one week. This means he is set to miss at least three games in the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Game 5 in the matchup is scheduled for next Wednesday, and it's possible Curry will then be ready to return. Curry's injury is a big blow for the Warriors, but they have seen Buddy Hield step up big time in recent games and still have Jimmy Butler III to lead the way.

Stephen Curry To Undergo An MRI Wednesday
Stephen Curry (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day by the team, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports. The veteran superstar injured his left hamstring in Tuesday's Game 1 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. After the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr sounded pessimistic about Curry's chances of playing in Game 2 on Thursday night. "We don't know yet," Kerr said. "But with a hamstring, it's hard to imagine that he would play Thursday." Curry's injury is a tough pill to swallow, but the Warriors proved on Tuesday that they can cope without him. Jimmy Butler III and Buddy Hield spearheaded the offense in Curry's absence. Meanwhile, the situation provides Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II with more playing opportunities.

Stephen Curry produced only 13 points as the team failed to finish off the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night, losing Game 5 131-116 on the road.
