A huge question around the Warriors entering the playoffs: Should Jordan Poole remain in the starting lineup next to Steph Curry? Should he maintain increased control of the offense? theathletic.com/3248825/2022/0… – 12:56 PM

Interesting trend to monitor whether Stephen Curry returns for Game 1 or Game 2 of the Denver series: The last six times Curry has missed at least four games, he has averaged 31.3 PPG in the return game.
