The Golden State Warriors welcome the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, January 13, with unfinished business in the air. Deni Avdija and company have already tagged the Dubs twice this season, leaving Golden State staring at an ugly 0-2 while their overall record this season has been an average 21-19. This time, there is no room to ease in for Stephen Curry, and the Warriors need to throw everything they have at the floor to stop the slide.

Is Stephen Curry playing tonight against the Trail Blazers?

Stephen Curry is suiting up for the Warriors against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. He has no injury concerns to deal with for the night. Therefore, making his availability a statement. Meanwhile, Curry is coming off an explosive 31-point night vs. the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. Although the Warriors lost 111-124, the 37-year-old guard, as always, stole the show.

In fact, Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler chipped in a combined 61 points, yet the Dubs lost. Usually, both stars explode with this caliber of performance almost every night. But on January 11, they had to hold the reins more tightly as the rest of the team struggled.

Therefore, after the loss, Stephen Curry sent a clear message to the youngsters, precisely to Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski. “Everything’s on the spotlight…” Curry said. “… It’s about the process of how you’re playing, how you’re approaching the game, that ends up helping us in the short term and helping you as a player in the long term.”

Meanwhile, the Baby-Faced Assassin is averaging 28.8 ppg, 3.8 rpg, and 4.7 apg. He has 0.47 FG%, 0.391 3PT%, and 0.929 FT%.
