The Golden State Warriors have lived without the superstar for their last 11 games. However, the star point guard could make his return on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. The latest Stephen Curry injury report reveals his status remains up in the air. Since the superstar hasn’t played in several weeks, bettors must carefully consider whether Curry is playing tonight before handicapping tonight’s Suns-Warriors contest.
Golden State doesn’t tip off until 10 p.m. ET. Curry initially earned a probable designation for Tuesday’s action but is now listed as questionable on the official injury report. It might take a while for bettors and NBA DFS players to hear something definitive about Curry’s status, so those looking for an edge should heed this advice or check out the OddsShopper tools for sharp NBA bets. Bettors should try out a one-week free trial of NBA Bet Pro to access cutting-edge betting projections that will update once the Warriors announce Curry’s official status.

Stephen Curry Injury Update – NBA Betting Impact
Curry suffered a left shoulder subluxation in mid-December and has yet to see the floor. The organization called their Jan. 13 matchup against the Spurs a good target date for Curry’s return, but they may have moved that date up — Curry was probable for this matchup yesterday but is now questionable.

The Golden State Warriors will tangle with the Phoenix Suns in a crucial Western Conference matchup tonight. But like the Warriors, the Suns have some injury issues to deal with. Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Cameron Payne will all sit. Deandre Ayton, Landry Shamet and Torrey Craig are questionable as well. With the Suns shorthanded, the Warriors could afford to play it safe and hold Curry out for another day.
Jordan Poole has filled the void in Golden State’s starting five left by Curry. Donte DiVincenzo has also drawn starts when Klay Thompson missed time alongside Curry. Poole has averaged 27.9 points, 3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game since Curry’s last appearance. That makes a major uptick from the 17.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 4.6 assists he had been averaging before.
Suns-Warriors NBA Betting & DFS Advice
If Curry sits, Jordan Poole could hit value for NBA DFS players — but his bloated salary of $8,500 at DraftKings means he must do some serious damage to yield a positive return. NBA DFS players in need of a guard should target Phoenix’s Duane Washington Jr. instead — especially if Shamet doesn’t suit up.
The Warriors are 12-point favorites at DraftKings and 11.5-point favorites at FanDuel. Those numbers suggest Curry will take on an injury-depleted Suns squad tonight. However, Curry’s questionable tag and Phoenix’s own injury woes mean his playing status isn’t a lock. This spread would narrow by a few points if Curry can’t go.
Bettors who think Curry may sit should head to DraftKings to back the Suns as 12-point underdogs. Getting the +12 before definitive news about Curry’s status comes out would likely score bettors some closing-line value (CLV). Those new to DraftKings can earn $200 in bonus bets with a $5 wager.
