The Golden State Warriors, currently on a hot streak, might face a setback in one of their highly anticipated matchups of the regular season. Stephen Curry’s status for Sunday’s game against the Boston Celtics is uncertain due to right knee bursitis, while Andrew Wiggins remains sidelined for personal reasons. Additionally, Brandin Podziemski is questionable after missing the previous game with knee soreness. Despite these challenges, Curry led the Warriors to an impressive win against the Toronto Raptors, contributing 25 points, six rebounds, and six assists, including seven three-pointers.
The upcoming game against the Celtics is seen as a significant test for the Warriors, especially after a recent loss to the Denver Nuggets. Both teams have performed well since January, with Boston leading the league in net rating. Wiggins’ absence could be felt keenly, as he played a vital role defensively and offensively in previous matchups against the Celtics. While Moses Moody has performed admirably in Wiggins’ absence, he may not match Wiggins’ defensive capabilities against players like Jayson Tatum.
The potential absence of Curry would further challenge the Warriors, potentially shifting the dynamics of the game in favor of the Celtics. Despite these uncertainties, the matchup remains highly anticipated, with tipoff scheduled for 12:30 p.m. (PT) at TD Garden.
