The Golden State Warriors are all set to host Detroit Pistons on Saturday, March 8 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. The talking point before the game is whether Stephen Curry, Warriors veteran plays against the Pistons or not.
Will Stephen Curry start against Detroit Pistons?
The Golden State Warriors are placed on the sixth spot in the Western Conference and have a record of 35-28. Whereas, Pistons also find themselves on the sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 35-28.
The Warriors have three players listed on the injury report but Curry's name is not on the list. The 36-year-old point guard will start the match against Pistons. The players listed on the injury report are Brandin Podziemski, who is questionable for the clash due to a back issue, Jonathan Kuminga, who is recovering from ankle injury and Jackson Rowe, who is again questionable due to an elbow injury.
Stephen Curry has been performing this season which shows on the court as well. He has been the standout performer for Warriors as averages 26.3 points, 3,5 rebounds and 5.9 assists over the last 20 games. He leads the league with 4.5 three-pointers per game and ranks fourth in the NBA in three-pointers made (15.2 per game). Despite the injury woes, the Warriors have a +132 scoring differential which sees them outscoring their opponents by 2.1 points.
Detroit Pistons Injury Report
For the Detroit Pistons, Jaden Ivey is out with a leg injury and due to personal reasons, Tobias Harris is a probable. The leading scorer for the Pistons this season has been Cade Cunningham, who averages 25.5 points per game. But, the team will dearly miss Ivey's contributions particularly with his defensive powers.
The Warriors are ranked third in the league with 46.0 rebounds per game and can prove decisive against a Pistons squad that averages 45.1 rebounds. Kevon Looney, who is Warrior's top rebounder with 6.6 per game, will again need to step up if the Warrior's have to maintain their advantage.
