Warriors' Stephen Curry: Will undergo MRI
Curry (pelvis) will undergo an MRI on Thursday after sustaining an injury that prevented him from returning to the game against the Raptors, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Curry exited the game in the second half and tried to return to action, but he was unable to do so. A clear timetable for his return could be revealed following the results of the MRI, and it's worth noting that the star floor general missed five games after having a pelvic injury in Houston on March 17, 2021, according to Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Won't return Thursday
Curry (pelvis) won't return to Thursday's game against the Raptors, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Curry was ruled out shortly after being taken to the locker room, and that means the veteran floor general exited the contest having posted 17 points, two rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes. Curry's next chance to play will come Saturday against the Hawks, though further exams will determine the extent of the injury.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Heads to locker room after fall
Curry hit the floor hard following a fall during Thursday's game against the Raptors and went straight to the locker room to be analyzed for an apparent back injury, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Curry was able to get up and get to the locker room after a hard fall, but the fact that he went straight to the tunnel suggests he'll be examined further to determine whether he'll be able to return. The Warriors can't afford to lose Curry for the rest of the game. The veteran floor general exited the contest having posted 17 points, two rebounds and an assist across 25 minutes.

Warriors' Quinten Post: To be deployed off bench
Post isn't starting Thursday's game against the Raptors, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Post will return to a bench role after starting Golden State's last two matchups. He should still log around 20 minutes but hasn't been overly effective as a reserve, as he's been held to single figures in the scoring column in three of his last four bench showings.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Won't go Thursday
Payton (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Payton was added to the injury report with left knee soreness, and the issue is significant enough to sideline him Thursday. Look for Buddy Hield and Gui Santos to see more opportunities in Payton's absence.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Will play against Toronto
Curry has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Raptors after resting during Tuesday's win against the Bucks, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Curry will return to the floor Thursday against the Raptors, giving the Warriors a much-needed boost offensively. The superstar guard is averaging 24.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 44.4 percent from the floor and 39.4 percent from beyond the arc this season.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Working through left knee soreness
Payton (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Payton has played 22.9 minutes per game over his last seven outings and has averaged 12.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.4 steals over that span. However, he's working through a left knee issue that puts him in jeopardy of missing his third game since the beginning of February. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga would be slated to see more playing time off the bench if Payton is ruled out for Thursday's contest.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Pulls down 10 boards
Green finished Tuesday's 104-93 victory over the Bucks with three points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, four blocks and two steals in 36 minutes.
With Stephen Curry (rest) sidelined, Green wasn't able to capitalize on the increased offensive usage. He stepped it up defensively, however. This was his fourth game of the season with at least four blocks. His defense is a big reason why his fantasy value is trending up. Over his last 10 games, Green has been a fifth-round value in nine-category formats with 10.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Flirts with triple-double
Butler chipped in 24 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-11 FT), eight rebounds and 10 assists over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 104-93 win over Milwaukee.
Butler took advantage of some extra usage with Stephen Curry getting the night off for rest, finishing two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Although he's fitting in well with Golden State, Butler hasn't been an elite fantasy asset on his new team. Over his last 10 games, he's been an eighth-round value in nine-category formats with 16.7 points, 6.6 assists, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 0.7 three-pointers.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Notches 17 points in loss
Podziemski (back) chipped in 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 104-93 victory over the Bucks.
With Stephen Curry (rest) sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back set, Podziemski stepped into the starting five in his return from a five-game absence due to a bilateral low-back strain. Podziemski faced no limitations in his return and continued his run of encouraging performances that dated back to before he missed time with the injury. Over his last 10 appearances, Podziemski is now averaging 13.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 27.5 minutes, but it's unclear if he'll be able to maintain that level of playing time moving forward. In addition to getting Curry back as soon as Thursday versus the Raptors, the Warriors recently welcomed Jonathan Kuminga back from an extended absence, which will result in some of Golden State's supporting players sacrificing minutes now that the squad is at full strength.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Good to go Tuesday
Post (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.
Post has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a right ankle impingement. Post has averaged 8.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 blocks in 19.5 minutes across his previous 10 outings.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Set to start against Milwaukee
Podziemski (back) is available and in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. However, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com, he will be limited to around 25 minutes of action.
Podziesmki has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Golden State's last five games due to a lower back strain. With Stephen Curry (rest) out, Podziemski will make his 20th starting appearance of the season. Across those previous 19 outings, the 22-year-old guard has averaged 13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 30.5 minutes.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Questionable Tuesday
Podziemski (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Podziemski has missed the club's last five outings due to a lower back strain, and if he's cleared to suit up Tuesday, he'll likely face restrictions. Over his last five outings before sustaining the injury in a win over Brooklyn on March 6, the 22-year-old combo guard had averaged 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 three-pointers across 29.2 minutes per game.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Questionable Tuesday
Post (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Post was uncertain to play Monday against Denver with a right ankle issue, and he could sit out the second half of this back-to-back set. If the rookie big man is unable to play Tuesday, Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga and Kevon Looney should pick up the slack at the center position.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Resting Tuesday
Curry has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bucks for rest purposes, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Curry looked a bit weary while logging 36 minutes in Monday's loss to the Nuggets, prompting head coach Steve Kerr to suggest after the game that the veteran point guard could be a candidate to rest for the second leg of a back-to-back set. The 37-year-old has also been managing a back issue of late, so it's no surprise that the Warriors will opt to hold him out Tuesday. Despite missing 15 field-goal attempts and turning the ball over seven times in the loss to Denver, Curry has been playing well overall since the All-Star break, averaging 27.2 points, 6.3 assists, 4.6 triples, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 32.4 minutes per game while shooting 48.1 percent from the field in 13 appearances. However, the playoffs are right around the corner, and Kerr wants his best player to be fresh and ready for what could be a deep run in the postseason.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Posts 18 points from bench
Payton finished with 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 114-105 loss to the Nuggets.
Payton has come in handy as a sixth man. Stephen Curry gets little rest when healthy, and his ailing back almost produced a scratch for the All-Star. Payton will be instrumental in keeping Curry fresh as the payoffs approach, and it wouldn't be surprising to see an uptick in Payton's production down the stretch.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Leads team with 23 points
Butler provided 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 114-105 loss to the Nuggets.
Butler's addition was a big part of the Warriors' winning streak, which was snapped by Denver on Monday night. With Jonathan Kuminga healthy, the lineup for the playoff run is starting to take shape, and Butler provides offensive firepower that can offset a poor shooting performance from Stephen Curry, who is the team's primary catalyst. Butler was excellent during the seven-game winning streak, averaging 16.4 points, 6.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals over the span.
