The three players in the ENTIRE NBA with the most scoring possessions running off of screens during the regular season:
Steph Curry – 256, 1.05 ppp
Klay Thompson – 180, 0.91 ppp
Jordan Poole – 165, 1.14 ppp – 12:06 AM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak
Warriors’ top 4-man line-up this season (48-min. minimum): Steph/Poole/Klay/Wiggs. 130.3 off rating / 84.3 def rating / +46.0 net rating. We don’t know how good it will be with Green added, because we haven’t seen it yet. Crazy that Ws’ best line-up gets debuted in the playoffs. – 9:21 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Is Klay Thompson back?

More on this storyline

Mark Medina: Steve Kerr believes Steph Curry will have a minutes restriction, and said he won’t play “30-35 minutes.” Kerr suggested Curry won’t come off the bench after doing so off prior injuries leading into playoffs. Then, Kerr said “I was young & dumb.” Now? Kerr: “Old & dumb.” -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / April 14, 2022 Anthony Slater: Steph Curry scrimmaged today. Three 6-minute segments. Kerr: “Felt good. Told me it’s another checkpoint to hit. He’s optimistic he’ll play Saturday.” Warriors not making anything official. But everything clearly remains on track. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / April 14, 2022 Connor Letourneau: Stephen Curry is “very optimistic” about playing Game 1 on Saturday. We should learn shortly whether he scrimmaged today, which would indicate that he has a very good chance of playing Game 1. sfchronicle.com/sports/article… -via Twitter @Con_Chron / April 14, 2022
