As the Golden State Warriors gear up to host the Boston Celtics at the Chase Center, fans are buzzing with anticipation. Tip-off is at 7:00 PM PT, and you can catch all the action on Amazon Prime and NBC Sports Bay Area.
Warriors' Recent Form
Heading into the All-Star break, the Warriors were just three games above .500, fresh off a tough 126-113 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Despite a promising start and a 16-point lead in the third quarter, Golden State struggled offensively down the stretch. The Spurs capitalized on this, closing the game with a commanding 32-19 run, led by the dynamic duo of De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama, who combined for 58 points.
Key Storylines for Tonight
The Warriors face a significant challenge with Stephen Curry sidelined for the sixth consecutive game due to runner’s knee. While ESPN’s Shams Charania reports no structural damage, the timeline for Curry's return remains uncertain.
On the flip side, excitement surrounds the debut of Kristaps Porzingis in a Warriors jersey. Acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in a trade involving Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield, Porzingis is set to face his former team, the Celtics, with whom he clinched a championship two years ago. His reunion with the Celtics adds an intriguing layer to the matchup, especially alongside former Boston big man Al Horford.
Warriors' Starting Lineup
Projected starters for the Warriors include Pat Spencer, De’Anthony Melton, Moses Moody, Gui Santos, and Draymond Green. This lineup will look to find synergy and momentum as they navigate Curry's absence.
