Warriors' Stephen Curry: Can't carry Warriors in Game 6 loss
Rotowire
Curry chipped in 32 points (11-28 FG, 4-14 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 122-101 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Curry was the only Golden State player to score more than 16 points in the contest, as backcourt mates Klay Thompson (3-19 FG, eight points) and Jordan Poole (3-10 FG, seven points) struggled mightily. Curry was far from at his best with an 11-for-28 shooting line and a 4-of-14 mark from deep, but at times it seemed like he was the only player keeping the Warriors within arm's distance of a determined Lakers squad. Despite the disappointing ending to his campaign, the superstar point guard proved once again in the 2023 playoffs that he is one of the most dynamic players in the league, averaging 30.5 points, 6.1 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 4.4 triples over 13 contests. He'll enter the 2023-24 campaign as one of the most feared offensive threats in the league at 35 years old, though it remains to be seen what the team around him will look like with the Warriors facing a multitude of crucial decisions in the offseason.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Posts triple-double in loss
Rotowire
Curry posted 31 points (12-30 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, 14 assists and three steals across 42 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Curry was far from efficient but still posted a game-high 31 points. He also dished out double-digit assists for the second time in the series and recorded a playoff-high three steals. The point guard is averaging 25.3 points, 8.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals through the first four games versus Los Angeles, but the Warriors still face a 3-1 hole as the series shifts back to Golden State.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Regresses in assist column
Rotowire
Curry totaled 23 points (9-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 127-97 loss to the Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Curry collected a playoff-high 12 assists in Game 2, and his work as a ball distributor and shooting decoy were instrumental in the 27 point victory. Curry dropped only three dimes in Game 3 and the entire team struggled as a result. The Lakers have emerged as one of the best defensive teams in the league in recent weeks, and their ability to keep Curry on his heels will be much needed as the Warriors try to even the series on the road.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Plays distributor in Game 2
Rotowire
Curry chipped in 20 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 127-100 win over the Lakers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Lakers continued to swarm Curry and occasionally threw double-teams at him, but the former MVP was able to make the right decisions and ended with a game-high 12 assists, his most in the playoffs since 2014. It'll be interesting to see if Los Angeles opts to switch up its defensive game plan in Game 3, but given his track record, Curry likely has the answers to any test the Lakers can throw at him.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Sinks six triples in loss
Rotowire
Curry registered 27 points (10-24 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 loss to the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Curry was sharp from deep, but he struggled inside the arc, likely due to the presence of Anthony Davis. The point guard's 27 points, 14 of which game in the final frame, were a team high, but it wasn't enough to propel the Warriors back from a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter. Golden State has lost home-court advantage and is in danger of going down 2-0 for a second straight series, so Curry is expected to be aggressive early and often during Thursday's Game 2, though the Warriors will likely need more production from the supporting cast if they hope to win one at home before the series shifts to Los Angeles.

Curry posted 50 points (20-38 FG, 7-18 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 120-100 win over the Kings in Game 7 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Not only did Curry record a playoff career high, he also logged the highest Game 7 scoring total in NBA history. The Kings put up an admirable fight, but Curry responded with momentum-killing shots throughout the contest, drilling a series-high seven three-pointers in the process. Curry and the Warriors will now begin the semifinals at home against the Lakers on Tuesday evening.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Scores 29 in Game 6 loss
Rotowire
Curry amassed 29 points (9-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 118-99 loss to the Kings in Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Curry couldn't lead the Warriors to victory at home, but his fantasy line was still solid, even if he hasn't been his usual self from a shooting perspective. The star point guard has scored at least 28 points in every game of the series thus far and remains an elite option in DFS formats. He's averaging 31.0 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds in the series, but he's made just 37.5 percent of his attempts from deep compared to 42.7 percent during the regular season.

Curry ended just two assists away from recording a double-double, but the star point guard produced another impressive performance since he notched 30-plus points for the third game in a row. In fact, Curry has scored at least 30 points in four of his five playoff outings so far. He's averaging 31.4 points per game while shooting 36.7 percent from deep in the first round so far, with Game 6 tabbed to happen Friday at Chase Center.

Rotowire
Curry posted 36 points (12-25 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 114-97 victory over the Kings in Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Curry was locked in from the start, powering the Warriors to a relatively comfortable victory. Despite the absence of Draymond Green (suspension), the Warriors were able to turn the tables on the Kings, thanks in large part to the shooting of Curry. Should they hope to tie things up at 2-2, Curry will need to be at his best once again in Game 4.

Curry racked up 28 points (9-21 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block across 41 minutes during Monday's 114-106 loss to the Kings in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Curry led the Warriors with 28 points, but it wasn't one of his more efficient nights from the field. He missed 10 three-pointers, including an airball late in the fourth quarter. Curry is facing a 2-0 hole for the first time in his playoff career and may have to will the Warriors to victory as the series shifts to Golden State for Game 3 on Thursday.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Hot from long range in loss
Rotowire
Curry racked up 30 points (11-20 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 loss to the Kings in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Curry's incredible sharpshooting skills have become a mainstay during the playoffs, and Game 1 was no exception. Heaving balls from distances most players wouldn't dare to attempt, Curry recovered from a slow start and turned on the gas with 20 of his 30 points in the second half. He was Golden State's top producer by a wide margin, and he'll be a very safe and chalky DFS option for as long as the Warriors stick around.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Scores 26 in regular-season finale
Rotowire
Curry chipped in 26 points (9-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and seven assists in 22 minutes during Sunday's 157-101 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Curry logged only 22 minutes in the regular-season finale, but the Warriors didn't need him to handle a big workload after scoring 55 points in the first quarter and cruising their way to a blowout win. The Warriors clinched the sixth seed in the Western Conference and will face the Kings in the first round of the playoffs, meaning Curry will have several days to rest before suiting up again. He ends the 2022-23 regular season with averages of 29.4 points, 6.3 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game while shooting 42.7 percent from deep, his best mark since the 2018-19 campaign.
