He grew up in a New York sports-heavy region in Connecticut and earned his journalism degree at the University of Rhode Island. His in-depth knowledge of two of the most passionate and raucous fan bases in the country gives him a truly unique writing voice.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Golden State Warriors</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>And the show goes on. NBA fans have been devouring face-offs between LeBron James and Stephen Curry for more than a decade now, as these two titans continue to hypnotize the masses when they share the court together. In addition to the aura of magnificence that filled Crypto.com Arena, this latest meeting featured high stakes.</p><p>Both the Golden State Warriors (45-31) and Los Angeles Lakers (46-30) desperately want to avoid grinding out a game or two in the NBA Play-In Tournament and are eying home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Their two keystones rose to the occasion and exhibited efforts befitting of a big postseason collision.</p><p>James scored 33 points on 10-of-15 shooting and made 5-of-8 3-pointers, while also recording nine assists, six rebounds, one steal and one block. The mammoth 40-minute outing was for naught, however, as Curry dropped a game-high 37 points on 10-of-21 shooting along with six assists in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-draymond-green-generates-dpoy-noise-luka-doncic-lockdown">123-116 Warriors win</a>. These two basketball savants still find ways to amaze viewers. Perhaps that is what defines their respective legacies most of all.</p><h2><b>Fans relish the latest chapter of LeBron James vs. Stephen Curry</b></h2><p>“Two legends dueling it out!” <a href="https://x.com/dschnaq/status/1908029865003036879" rel="noopener">@dschnaq marveled</a>. “No game is more entertaining then these,” <a href="https://x.com/BronWorld/status/1908022592461770791" rel="noopener">@BronWorld declared</a>. “Imagine Stephen Curry and Lebron James in the same team,” <a href="https://x.com/FilmWWECrickNBA/status/1908030467498025029" rel="noopener">@FilmWWECrickNBA pondered</a>. James and Curry exhilarated many basketball fans when they led Team USA to a gold medal in the Paris Olympics last summer, but they would have garnered unprecedented amount of attention if they were NBA teammates.</p><p>The public will have to settle for them being opponents. Although Curry’s Warriors defeated James and the Cleveland Cavaliers three times in the NBA Finals during the 2010s, this should not be viewed as a one-sided rivalry by any means. The all-time scoring champion bested the greatest shooter ever in 2016, and he led the Cavs to a six-game series in 2015 despite Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving both being injured.</p><p>The NBA Finals are obviously off the table now, but these two icons could still duke it out in the postseason. While the Western Conference seeding situation is in considerable doubt, the Warriors and Lakers are currently slated to play each other in the first round. The people demand it, especially after watching Stephen Curry and LeBron James trade buckets on Thursday.</p><h2><b>Will there be at least one more big battle between these innovative hoopers?</b></h2><p>“Need this matchup in the playoffs,” <a href="https://x.com/Maddenmobileluv/status/1908022579207475699" rel="noopener">@Maddenmobileluv expressed</a>. This could be the last opportunity to pit the league’s flag bearers against one another in a do-or-die type of environment. As was the case in their past showdowns, they will be accompanied by other exceptional talents.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-news-fans-ruthlessly-clown-luka-doncic-warriors-game">Luka Doncic struggled</a> versus Golden State, but he is a sensational playoff performer who led the Dallas Mavericks to the Finals last season. Austin Reaves is blossoming into an All-Star caliber player, scoring 31 points and shooting an outstanding 9-of-15 from behind the 3-point line. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-why-jimmy-butler-draymond-green-match-made-in-heaven">Jimmy Butler has made a transformative impact</a> on the Warriors, and Draymond Green is marching toward his second Defensive Player of the Year Award. This will not merely be the LeBron and Curry show.</p><p>But they are still the NBA’s headliners for the time being. And the league and a large chunk of the fan base want to savor that fact for as long as possible.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

NBA icons LeBron James and Stephen Curry were spectacular, laughing in the face of Father Time as they combined for 70 points and 15 assists. Luka Doncic also stood out, but for different reasons.</p><p>Although the stellar 26-year-old guard posted 19 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, he could not get his shot to fall in what was ultimately a 123-116 Lakers loss. Doncic was 6-of-17 from the field and 0-of-6 from 3-point range, failing to connect from distance for the first time in nearly two years.</p><p>He was far from the only player who fell short offensively, as LA’s bench scored only seven points on 3-of-15 shooting, but fans naturally focus on superstars’ struggles more than those of the supporting cast. When evaluating Doncic’s play in a game that could carry massive significance in the playoff picture, people were quite candid.</p><p>“Luka better wake up.. lakers are 1.5 games from the play in,” <a href="https://x.com/santy0423/status/1908027508244488307" rel="noopener">@santy0423 observed</a>. “You can’t start complaining to the referee every time you miss a shot, which will seriously affect the defense of the entire team,” <a href="https://x.com/Lujyunyi721108/status/1908041924713525357" rel="noopener">@Lujyunyi721108 asserted</a>. “Maybe if {you} stop taking difficult shots, the shooting percentage {will} be better,” <a href="https://x.com/CHEEZ20700548/status/1908047306181562723" rel="noopener">@CHEEZ20700548 commented</a>. “The offense certainly wasn’t good but the defense is the real issue…” <a href="https://x.com/bmc023/status/1908029960075268251" rel="noopener">@bmc023 said</a>.</p><h2><b>Will Luka Doncic put it all together for the Lakers this postseason?</b></h2><p>Those gripes are valid. Doncic’s defense is lacking far too often and he constantly clamors for foul calls, preventing him from hastily getting back on the other end of the floor. One can also argue that the Slovenian could have leaned more on James and Austin Reaves, the latter of whom scored 31 points and drained nine 3-pointers. However, Luka Doncic has displayed generational greatness by trusting in his ability to take over games.</p><p>Despite posting a subpar 41.5 field goal percentage with the Lakers, the five-time First-Team All-NBA selection is still leaving a sizable mark on the court night in and night out. He is averaging 8.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.7 steals since the Dallas Mavericks traded him to Los Angeles in February. If Doncic is able to regain his effective shooting stroke, he will remind people why they relentlessly <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/los-angeles-lakers/lakers-news-la-fans-troll-nico-harrison-with-hilarious-message-over-luka-doncic-trade">roasted the Mavs organization</a> for dealing him away in his youth.</p><p>Many Lakers fans will take satisfaction in knowing that Doncic did accept accountability for his performance against the visiting Warriors. But they are depending on him to put his words into action Friday night versus the 21-55 New Orleans Pelicans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team was viewed as a borderline playoff participant before Butler was acquired from the Miami Heat. The Warriors have risen to the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference, and head coach Steve Kerr’s team could prove to be a dangerous opponent in the upcoming postseason.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Draymond Green says this may be his "last best chance" to win another Defensive Player of the Year Award 😮 <a href="https://t.co/JR3W5NnHp0">pic.twitter.com/JR3W5NnHp0</a></p><p>— NBA on ESPN (@ESPNNBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNNBA/status/1907896056563581127?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 3, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/editorials/warriors-vs-lakers-prediction-odds-pick-spread-4-3-2025">The Warriors</a> are led by superstar Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Butler. Curry’s brilliant shooting is Golden State’s most obvious weapon — he is averaging 24.4 points and shooting 39.9 percent from beyond the arc. However, the defensive effort of Green should not be discounted. The long-time Warrior has always been the team’s defensive stopper, and it seems likely that he probably has his best chance of winning his second Defensive Player of the Year honors this season.</p><h2><b>Green must take advantage of Wembanyama injury if veteran Warrior is to gain defensive honors</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Draymond-Green-never-backs-down-from-a-confrontation.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 35-year-old Green was a second-round pick of the Warriors from Michigan State in the 2012 NBA Draft. He has been a vital contributor to 4 NBA championship teams with the Warriors and is a 4-time All-Star. He is an 8-time member of the NBA’s All-Defensive team and he won Defensive Player of the Year honors for the 2016-17 season.</p><p>However, winning DPOY honors in the future seems out of reach for Green because of the presence of Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs and Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 21-year-old, 7-foot-3 Wembanyama is a premier defensive player and he should only get better and more intimidating as he adds weight, strength and gains experience. The same is likely to hold for Holmgren</p><p>Wembanyama is out with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, so that leaves the door open for Green, and he realizes this is his <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNNBA/status/1907896056563581127">last legitimate opportunity</a> to win the award. “This is the last best chance I have to win another Defensive Player of the Year Award,” Green explained in an ESPN interview. “Not only because of Wemby, but also Chet (Holmgren). The young guys are coming and give the young guys their credit. They are amazing. This my last chance to win it.”</p><p> </p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Not only has Curry’s efficiency and scoring been the best it has been all season, but Green suddenly finds himself in the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year with his energy spiking.</p><p>Sometimes, all it takes is one change for a franchise to go from being out of the playoffs to becoming a legitimate championship threat. That change for the Warriors was acquiring Butler, and that is why Green is still believing that Golden State can make it to the NBA Finals for a chance to win a fifth title since 2015.</p><p>“I think this team has the ability to match different lineups,” Draymond Green stated. “When you look at all championship teams, they have abilities that if a team goes big, they can match it. If a team goes small, they can match that. They need a three-point shooting lineup? They can do that. They need an all-defensive lineup? They can go to that lineup. I just think the versatility of this roster with adding Jimmy Butler, and what it does against other matchups, it allows us to match up against anyone.</p><p>“That’s what you need to win a championship.”</p><p>Butler and the Warriors will look to keep their positive momentum on Thursday night against LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and the Lakers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He played over 20 minutes in eight of these games.</p><p>Without Payton in the rotation, the Warriors have received key contributions from Brandin Podziemski, Gui Santos, and Moses Moody.</p><p>Whether in the starting lineup or coming off the bench, Payton has asserted himself as one of the main driving forces behind the Warriors’ success. He ranks sixth on the team in scoring and has one of the <a href="https://www.nba.com/stats/players/advanced?DateFrom=03/01/2025&amp;DateTo=03/27/2025&amp;TeamID=1610612744&amp;dir=A&amp;sort=NET_RATING" rel="noopener">highest net ratings</a> (min. 10 games played) since the start of March. Defensively, Payton has often been tasked with guarding the opposition’s best player.</p><p>While he is only listed at 6’2″, Payton plays well above his height. As a result, Kerr and the Warriors utilize him in different ways, sometimes even having him be their small-ball center when Draymond Green or others are out of the game.</p><p>The Warriors will be in Los Angeles to play the Lakers on Thursday night in a pivotal <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/lakers-warriors-stakes-showdown-western-conference-playoff-picture">Western Conference battle that will hold a lot of influence</a> on how the playoff picture shapes up.</p><p>After winning 134-125 against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night, a game in which <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-stephen-curry-reacts-passing-jerry-west-52-point-night">Stephen Curry scored 52 points with 12 made threes</a>, Golden State is now 44-31 overall. This win allowed the Warriors to gain control of the West’s 5-seed, just two full games behind the Lakers and Nuggets in the standings.</p><p>If the Warriors can win their fourth straight game on Thursday night in Los Angeles, they will inch closer to potentially earning home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs. A loss to the Lakers puts them in a momentary four-way tie with the Minnesota Timberwolves, LA Clippers, and Grizzlies in the standings.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Marcus Morris Sr., who previously played with Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers, <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1907814713238442179" rel="noopener">argued against</a> Curry being the most feared NBA player.</p><p>“I wouldn’t go as far as to stay Steph Curry,” Morris told Stephen A. Smith. “He’s very respectable, everyone knows Steph Curry, if not the best point guard to ever play the game, right? I gotta disagree with you. You know who I’m going to go to? And I know this is not going to be your favorite, but I’m gonna talk about number two over there with the Clipper Nation, baby. I’m going with Kawhi Leonard.”</p><p>Smith immediately exclaimed, “you have got to be kidding me! I can’t believe you just said that! That’s ridiculous!”</p><p>Morris then explained his Kawhi Leonard answer.</p><p>“And the reason why is because Kawhi healthy is a total different player,” Morris said.</p><p>The former Clippers forward continued to explain how Curry has the nod from purely an offensive standpoint.

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/cleveland-cavaliers/cavs-second-half-struggles-exposed-in-frustrating-loss-to-clippers">Clippers could make a deep postseason run</a> this year. Although Kawhi has only appeared in 32 games, he is averaging 20.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the 2024-25 campaign.</p><p>When healthy, there is no denying the fact that Kawhi Leonard is one of the best two-way players in the entire league. He is an elite defender while still providing no shortage of offensive prowess.</p><p>Stephen A. Smith did not agree with Marcus Morris Sr.’s take. However, it is not difficult to see where Morris is going with his admission. There are not many players around the league who love the idea of playing against Leonard on either side of the ball.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-draymond-green-calls-jaren-jackson-jr-disappointing-him">Green has been known for pushing buttons while with the Warriors</a>, there is no doubt he uses that aspect as a way to get in people’s heads.</p><p>This was proven in the latest feature on Green for The Athletic as he <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6248565/2025/04/03/draymond-green-golden-state-warriors-nba-defense/" rel="noopener">spoke about what his mindset</a> is like defensively in trying to disrupt any offense thrown at him.

I want to f— your s— up. It’s no hard feelings. I’m always bantering and talking. But I want you to know that your offensive game plan, I wanna f— it up. … Completely destroy your offensive game plan, and then I want to let you know about it.”</p><p>At any rate, Golden State is 44-31 which puts them fifth in the Western Conference as they next face the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Double technical fouls were assessed to Hield and Morant by the officials and the game concluded with no further issues.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ja Morant appeared to make gun gestures towards the Golden State bench after the Grizzlies’ loss to the Warriors 👀😬</p><p>(via <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NBCSWarriors</a>)</p><p> <a href="https://t.co/bBk746e6fX">pic.twitter.com/bBk746e6fX</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1907264127958991022?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 2, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In the immediate aftermath of the Warriors defeating the Grizzlies 134-125, Silver and the league office were made aware of Hield and Morant appearing to make gun gestures towards one another after a timeout was called on the court. <a href="https://x.com/BrettSiegelNBA/status/1907491441065992335" rel="noopener">Silver was “very displeased”</a> to learn this had occurred, especially considering Morant’s past with being suspended due to his possession of a firearm, league sources told ClutchPoints.</p><p>Morant was first suspended after appearing to flash a gun in a livestream on Instagram in March 2023 while partying at a nightclub in Denver. That indefinite suspension from the league and team lasted eight games. The superstar guard was then <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/ja-morant-speaks-on-suspension-ahead-of-return-2023" rel="noopener">suspended for the first 25 games</a> of the 2023-24 season for conduct detrimental to the league after again flashing a gun on a livestream video in May 2023.</p><p>Upon returning from this 25-game suspension, Morant played just nine games before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury that required surgery.</p><p>Morant has played 46 games this season, averaging 22.7 points, 7.4 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game while shooting 45.4 percent from the floor. The Grizzlies, who recently fired head coach Taylor Jenkins, are currently 44-32 and have lost seven of their last eight games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Warriors listed him as questionable for Tuesday’s 134-125 win over the Memphis Grizzlies before ruling him out. Another questionable tag indicates the team is still managing his injury but he will have a chance to suit up vs. the Lakers.</p><p>Kuminga has averaged 16.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists on 46/32/67 shooting splits while playing a reserve role for Golden State this season. The former No. 7 pick is in the final year of his rookie contract and will be a restricted free agent this offseason.</p><p>The Warriors have won their last three games since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-fans-stephen-curry-insane-3-point-explosion">welcoming Stephen Curry back</a> from a pelvic injury. The two-time MVP went off for 52 points on 16-of-31 shooting from the field and 12-of-20 from three with 10 rebounds, eight assists and five steals during the Memphis win.</p><p>Golden State is 19-5 since acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat at the trade deadline. Steve Kerr’s squad ranks sixth in offense, first in defense and third in net rating (9.7) during that span.</p><p>The Warriors are fighting to avoid the Western Conference play-in tournament. There is a logjam at the bottom of the playoff picture as the regular season winds down. Golden State sits in fifth place at 44-31, a half-game ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies with seven remaining.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Lakers are tied with the Denver Nuggets but sit in third place due to a tiebreaker. Los Angeles has posted a 3-3 record since welcoming LeBron James back from a groin injury. The four-time MVP is probable for Thursday’s game.</p><p>So, regarding whether Jonathan Kuminga is playing tonight vs. the Lakers, the Warriors shouldn’t rush the 22-year-old back from his injury with the playoffs approaching. However, with the regular season nearing its close, each game is gaining more importance for playoff seeding.</p><h2>Warriors injury report</h2><p>Jonathan Kuminga: Questionable – Injury/Illness – Right Pelvic; Contusion</p><p>Gary Payton II: Out – Injury/Illness – Left Thumb Ligament; Partial Tear</p><h2>Lakers injury report</h2><p>LeBron James: Probable – Injury/Illness – Left Groin; Strain</p><p>Maxi Kleber: Out – Injury/Illness – Right Foot; Surgery Recovery</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
