I’m told Steph Curry is expected to return to the starting lineup tonight for Game 5. Kevon Looney will move to the bench, meaning the lethal small-ball lineup will be the starters. – 7:08 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Multiple sources: All signs point to Warriors opening Game 5 vs DEN with the small lineup. Stephen Curry moves in, Kevon Looney moves out and Draymond Green moves to center. As previously indicated by @Shams Charania – 6:44 PM Justin Kubatko @jkubatko
📅 On this day in 2021, the @Portland Trail Blazers Damian Lillard made his 2,000th career 3P in a 133-112 win over the Pacers.
Lillard became the 10th player in NBA history to reach that mark.
He’s the second-fastest player to do so (671 games), trailing only Stephen Curry (597). pic.twitter.com/jAghh2PCrC – 3:01 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
The Nuggets upped their physicality on Jordan Poole in Game 4. It’s something Steph Curry and Klay Thompson went through in the playoffs over the years. They give their perspective on how to combat it.

Seriously, when it comes to snaking the dribble, manipulating the big in the drop and hitting that mid-range jumper while smashing you in the nads simultaneously, CP3 is like Steph Curry shooting 3s. He dont miss. He the 🐐 – 12:35 AM Matt Steinmetz @SteinmetzNBA
No, I don’t consider Curry a small guard. – 9:18 PM Matt Steinmetz @SteinmetzNBA
Isiah Thomas is gold standard for small guards. Let’s say 6-2 or smaller. Far as I can tell he’s only small guard to be best player on championship team. Curry not in this one. – 9:04 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22

The Nets have just 6 players with guaranteed contracts for next year: Kevin Durant, Ben Simmons, Joe Harris, Seth Curry, Cam Thomas and Day’Ron Sharpe. They owe these players $144,555,667.
Everyone else is a potential free agent. What’s next for Brooklyn? basketballnews.com/stories/nba-of… – 6:37 PM Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
At some point, possibly on Wednesday, Jordan Poole or Kevon Looney will be removed from the starting lineup when Steph Curry returns to the starting five.

Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr said Stephen Curry’s minute total can be “elevated” tonight in Game 3 a bit. Came through the first two games well. pic.twitter.com/9WqQGsMWZV -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / April 21, 2022 Kendra Andrews: Steph says that he still feels some discomfort in his foot, but “that doesn’t matter.” It’s about figuring out how to manage that through the playoffs. He also said he’s not necessarily rushing back to the starting lineup, but is just focused on making his minutes impactful. -via Twitter @kendra__andrews / April 19, 2022 Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr said Steph Curry “came out of yesterday well.” Will get shots up today and is clear for Game 2.
