The Golden State Warriors enter Wednesday night’s game at TD Garden without key contributors, as multiple starters are sidelined.
Stephen Curry, Seth Curry, Al Horford, Moses Moody, and Jimmy Butler III are all out due to various injuries, while LJ Cryer and Quinten Post are listed as questionable, and Gary Payton II is probable.
Boston Celtics have a lighter injury report, with Nikola Vucevic out due to a fractured right ring finger and John Tonje inactive on a two-way assignment. The Celtics are looking to protect their home record and maintain momentum following back-to-back wins over Phoenix and Washington.
Stephen Curry is leading the Warriors this season with 27.2 points per game.
For Boston, Jaylen Brown continues to anchor the offense with 28.4 points per game. Derrick White is contributing 17.5 points and 5.7 assists, and Payton Pritchard adds 16.7 points and 5.3 assists per contest.
This season, the Celtics won the only prior matchup against the Warriors 121-110 in Golden State on February 19.
Both teams are entering key stretches in the playoff race. Boston holds the second seed in the Eastern Conference at 45-23, while Golden State sits ninth in the West at 33-35.
Recent form favors the Celtics, winners of their last two games, while the Warriors split their past two road contests with a 125-117 victory over Washington and a narrow 110-107 loss in New York. The matchup begins at 7:00 PM ET.
