Warriors G Stephen Curry Out Saturday Against the Pelicans

This shouldn't be too concerning, but the Golden State Warriors will be without guard Stephen Curry for Saturday's home date with the New Orleans Pelicans. Curry suffered a knee contusion in the team's win over the Phoenix Suns, but was able to play through it, scoring 40-plus for the secont time in three games. 

With Golden State having already wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, there's no real reason for the team to push it here. We can also expect Klay Thompson to get some rest in one of the final two games following Saturday's action. 

With Curry sidelined, Ian Clark and Shaun Livingston will split point guard duties, Clark himself being the higher-upside DFS option. 

In terms of what to expect from top-end Warriors fantasy options, look for a higher usage rate from Kevin Durant in his return to action after sitting out since late February with a knee injury. Durant will likely want to shoot early and often as he prepares for the postseason.
