Bad news for Golden State!
Steph's MRI revealed a grade 1 hamstring injury.
He will be out for at least 1 week.
This means he will be out for at least 3 games.
Golden currently leads the series 1-0, but Minnesota could take the lead without Steph.
Can they win this series without Curry? I think yes. so I don't think this injury will be a big problem. I don't think it's going to be like the Minnesota Timberwolves series against the Houston Rockets, it's not going to be a series that goes all the way to the last game. We felt that in the first game, I think even without Curry, Golden State Warriors will go to the next round without much difficulty in this series.
Worst case scenario, they will win 1 game, even if he can't play in game 3, the series will still be 2-2. Then I think GSW will be able to take the lead again. Of course, I hope Curry will recover soon
I really really disagree. Curry is their best player, so missing him should have given them a lot more and because of that we are going to end up with a lot better results and won't need anything further. Curry being gone, is proof enough that Wolves will beat them.
By the time he returns, he will not be 100%, but even if we assume he is, Wolves could be 1-3 ahead and in that situation Curry has no way of making them win three in a row. That is why we are going to see the situation not change. Curry missing is a great thing to focus right now and betting will become easier. I am going to bet on Wolves for every game, and if they ever lose, I will martingale higher bet to make sure I earn, because I bet that Wolves will win this series.
