This will be the third time this season that these two teams meet, and Stephen Curry will miss the third meeting as well.

Can Stephen Curry guarantee the Dubs a Top-6 seed?
Seeing how Klay Thompson and the rest of the team have been playing, getting Stephen Curry back will help the team step things up to the next level. There is a reason Steph is considered a superstar, and his impact on the court is unmatched.
Currently, the Warriors sit on the 7th seed in the West, just half a game behind the 6th-seeded Mavericks, and a game behind the 5th-seeded Clippers. If Steph returns soon, he can help the Dubs make a final push to wrap the season, and in turn, end up with a Top-6 seed.
