Overview
- Tip-off is set for 9:30 p.m. ET at Frost Bank Center with national streaming on Prime Video and availability on NBA League Pass.
- The matchup counts toward Emirates NBA Cup group play, coming two days after Golden State’s 125–120 win over San Antonio.
- Stephen Curry is expected to play after returning from illness earlier in the week and scoring 46 points in the previous meeting.
- Jonathan Kuminga is out due to bilateral knee tendinitis, which reporters noted shows no structural damage and is considered short term.
- Steve Kerr has leaned into a revised starting group featuring Curry, Moses Moody, Will Richard, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green to emphasize spacing and ball movement, while some reports on Victor Wembanyama’s prior stat line remain disputed.
