Will Stephen Curry Play Tonight? Golden State Warriors vs Indiana Pacers: Preview, Lineups & Predictions

The Golden State Warriors continue their Eastern Conference road trip tonight, as they face the Indiana Pacers. Both teams will be aiming to make it their second win in a row. The Warriors are exceeding expectations and are currently the #8 seed, while the Pacers are still #4 despite a poor start to the month.

Date & Time: February 24, 2021, 7:30pm ET

Venue: Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis

Preview | Golden State Warriors

The Warriors started their road trip with two losses, but arrested this slump against the Knicks last night. They won 114-106, as Stephen Curry returned with a phenomenal 37 point game. As a team they still shot below average, so going up against the Pacers, they will need to address those concerns.

The return of Kevon Looney and James Wiseman gave them a boost in their last game, and should help them to deal with the threat of Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner tonight. They don’t have any significant injuries for the upcoming game.

Starting 5 for the Golden State Warriors

Guard – Stephen Curry

Guard – Kelly Oubre Jr

Center – Andrew Wiggins

Forward – Draymond Green

Forward – Kevon Looney

Preview | Indiana Pacers

The Pacers started the season with an 11-7 run. But just one win in seven games halted their progress, and they now find themselves with a 15-14 record. Domantas Sabonis and Malcolm Brogdon have been leading the team with their offense, while Myles Turner is stepping up as their defensive anchor. The loss of Victor Oladipo has hurt them, but they are still #4 in the East.

They don’t have any new injuries, but will have to wait a few more weeks until T. J. Warren and Caris LeVert can return. That will further boost their offense and strengthen them for the playoffs.

Starting 5 for the Indiana Pacers

Guard – Malcolm Brogdon

Guard – Justin Holiday

Center – Doug McDermott

Forward – Domantas Sabonis

Forward – Myles Turner

Predictions | Warriors vs Pacers

The Pacers have shown promise so far, but is unlikely they come out on top tonight. Looney and Wiseman returning gives the Warriors the edge and Curry’s return makes them the favorites. If the Pacers can hold down Draymond from running the show, they could have a slight chance, but expect the Warriors to win this battle.
