Steph Curry is back in the starting lineup after having a sixth man role in the opening round against the Denver Nuggets. He was the key man in the Warriors Game 1 one-point win in Memphis. The Dubs were close to taking home a 2-0 lead but Ja Morant went hot scoring 47 points, including the last 15 for his team to lead the Grizzlies to a Game 2 win.
