The Golden State Warriors will face the Toronto Raptors tonight in an NBA game that will be FREE and LIVE STREAMING ONLINE from the Air Canada Centre at 4:00 PM ET.
Stephen Curry, the Warriors All-Star guard, now has a good chance to maintain his hot hand against a team he's enjoyed great success against in his young career when his Warriors continue their six-game road trip against the Raptors on Sunday.
Curry had one of his worst games of the season in a 103-83 loss at Chicago on Wednesday, finishing with a season low-tying five points on 2-of-10 shooting to go with five assists that were somewhat negated by his five turnovers.
It was only the third time this season he has failed to score in double digits, though Golden State (36-23) won the first two of those games. Curry, averaging 23.9 points, scored five at Minnesota on Nov. 6 and had nine at Orlando on New Year's Eve.
Curry followed his off night against the Magic by shooting 13 for 22, including 8 of 15 from 3-point range, and finishing with 36 points and 12 assists in a signature road win over Miami on Jan. 2.
On Friday night, it was the Knicks turn to absorb a bounce-back effort from Curry, who posted his third triple-double of the season with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in a 126-103 rout at Madison Square Garden.
Golden State improved to 2-1 on its road trip with the win.
Curry will now look to stay hot against the Raptors (32-26), who have allowed 119.3 points per game in going 0-7 against the Warriors with the former Davidson star in the lineup. Curry has averaged 27.3 points on 53.7 percent shooting in those contests -- his best numbers against any NBA opponent.
The Raptors are coming off a marathon loss Thursday, falling 134-129 to Washington in three overtimes to snap a three-game win streak.
Toronto got banged up a bit with point guard Kyle Lowry and small forward Terrence Ross both suffering ankle injuries. Lowry remained in the game until fouling out in the final OT, while Ross left in the second quarter and did not return.
The status of both players is unknown ahead of this contest.
Reserve point guard Greivis Vasquez could see extended minutes if Lowry is sidelined. Vasquez had a season-high 26 points and added eight assists against the Wizards.
The game will be broadcast regionally on the RSN cable network and will be live streaming free on nbaliveonline.tv/streaming/
