The Golden State Warriors are all set to host the Sacramento Kings on Thursday, March 13 at the Chase Center. The team will look to extend their 5-game unbeaten run as they have become a force to reckon with ever since acquiring Jimmy Butler from Miami Heat. The Warriors are placed sixth overall in the Western Conference and have a record of 37-28.
Will Stephen Curry play against Sacramento Kings?
The four-time NBA champion is not listed on the Golden State Warriors injury report that makes him a starter for the game against the Kings. This is a major boost for the team as Stephen Curry is in red hot form.
Stephen Curry has been averaging 29.0 points on 46.2% shooting from the field and 42.1% from the deep, 3.8 rebounds and 6.2 assists in his last five games. He will be the key player for the Warriors when they meet against the Kings, another team who are looking to avoid the play-in and secure a playoff ticket.

The 36-year-old point guard will make history when he steps on to the court against the Kings. He is just 2s away from becoming the first player in NBA history to reach 4,000 career 3-pointers made.

Curry was also the first ever to reach the 3,000 career 3-pointers made and has joined the elite list of players including LA Clippers guard James Harden (3,117).
