The Golden State Warriors have been the talk of the town recently. They were invited to the White House to celebrate the 2022 NBA Championship, and it did not disappoint. The NBA world went berserk when Stephen Curry stood in front of the country at the presidential palace. As if the spotlight was not already on him, the Warriors face the Boston Celtics tonight.
The Warriors are coming off a 127-118 win against the Washington Wizards. The Celtics, on the other hand, played the Charlotte Hornets in the last game and came out on top. An interesting point to note is that the Celtics are on an 8-game winning streak. They sit at the top in the East, with a record of 33-12. It certainly looks like they have a good chance of taking the win tonight.
Both teams are dealing with injuries to their important players. The Celtics’ Jaylen Brown suffered a serious adductor injury that is expected to keep him out for a while. That might have been the news that Warriors fans would have wanted to hear, considering how exceptional Brown has been for the Celtics this season. With that said, let’s take a look at the injury report and expected rosters for the teams tonight.
Stephen Curry is available to feature for the Golden State Warriors against the Boston Celtics tonight
Stephen Curry has had some trouble with injuries this season. His left shoulder injury kept him out of action for a few weeks. When the NBA community expected the Warriors to lose their momentum, the players kept going at it. It was truly surprising that the GSW players managed to keep their winning ways up even in Curry’s absence.
With that said, that will not be the case tonight. He looks fit to start the game against the Boston Celtics. Steph still wears an arm sleeve, but it does not look like his shoulder is causing him problems. The other players on the Warriors injury report are James Wiseman, JaMychal Green, Jonathan Kuminga, and Andre Iguodala.

The Warriors are favored to take the win against the Celtics tonight
The Celtics are one of the best teams in the league right now. Their record and recent form speak for themselves. However, they will be missing a key player in Jaylen Brown. The numbers he has put up aren’t an ordinary feat. The Warriors will surely be aiming to take advantage of that tonight. The last time was in December 2022.
The Warriors won the game 107-123 with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson putting up 32 and 34 points respectively. Jordan Poole also contributed with 20 points. Although the Celtics will put up a great fight, we can predict the Warriors to get the job done with their key players.
