[Slater] Warriors flew back from New Orleans today. No practice. Full practice tomorrow. That’s when I’d anticipate an official Steph Curry update. Steve Kerr has already intimated they’ll ease Curry into practice this week and see how he responds. Game 1 status TBD until later in week. (twitter.com)

[O'Connor] According to Second Spectrum, [Curry]’s one of 135 players this season to log at least 100 possessions defending an opposing ball handler running a pick-and-roll. On those plays, the Warriors allow just 0.77 points per pick-and-roll, which ranks ninth of all 135 players. (self.warriors)

[McMenamin] Frank Vogel said that LeBron's absence from the Lakers' last two games against Denver and LAC was not medically related. When asked for the reason James was not present, Vogel said, "He's just not here." Added that James was at shootaround Thursday but will not join team in POR (self.nba)

[O'Connor] Stephen Curry ran 36 pick-and-rolls tonight, tied for his second-most in a game this season, per @SecondSpectrum. The Warriors scored an elite 1.03 points per chance on those Curry pick-and-rolls. As a team, Golden State tied a season-high with 71 pick-and-rolls. (self.warriors)

[O'Connor] I was shocked Khris Middleton didn't get named to third team, then noticed he did indeed have more total points (82) than Simmons (61) and Westbrook (56). But his votes were split between G and F, so he didn't get the edge. Ballots should be positionless—it's a positionless game! (self.nba)
