The Golden State Warriors just finished an eight-game homestand. Playing without Stephen Curry, the Warriors won their first five contest. However, towards the end, they lost back-to-back games to the Pistons and the Magic. For the final game of the homestand, Steph was back with the squad. Hosting a Suns team without Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Chris Paul, everyone expected the Warriors to win.

However, the Suns had different plans and handed the Dubs a 125-113 defeat.
The Warriors fell under .500 again, with a 20-21 record to their name midway through the season. This a crucial five-game trip for the team. Not only is it a chance for them to improve on their road record, but for them to also get a few wins and climb back up in the Western seeding.
As the match inches closer, the fans wonder whether Stephen Curry is playing tonight or not.
Stephen Curry will play tonight
Making his return against the Suns after an eleven-game absence, Stephen Curry struggled a little in the first half. However, toward the end of the game, Steph seemed to find his rhythm again. He scored 16 out of his 24 points in the 4th quarter.
Heading to tomorrow’s game, the Warriors don’t have him on their injury report. This means that Stephen Curry will play tonight.
They would not have Jonathan Kuminga, James Wiseman, and JaMychal Green.
Warriors provide injury updates. Most notable aspect is that Jonathan Kuminga is back in practice today. Warriors currently getting a workout in San Antonio. Wiseman/JaMYchal Green back into practice in coming days. https://t.co/Jpx6BB85Uk

The Warriors would miss the size these three bring, but getting Stephen Curry back should be a great boost offensively.
Spurs attempt to make NBA record as they host the Warriors
The San Antonio Spurs will host the Warriors at the Alamodome instead of the AT&T Center. This is because they’re trying to break the NBA record for the most attendance in a regular season game. According to the last update sent by the Spurs team, 63,592 tickets were sold already, and the arena has a capacity of 68,000 people.
Currently, the NBA record for the most audience in attendance in a regular season game belongs to a Bulls-Hawks game in 1998.
