However, both sides come into this game with some notable injuries. For the Warriors, they are dealing with an injury to star guard Stephen Curry.
Curry suffered a hard fall against the Toronto Raptors earlier this week and many feared it could be a serious injury taking place. Thankfully, he seems to have avoided anything too serious but the Warriors will be without him for this game.
This means others will need to step up if Golden State wants to grab their third straight win. The Warriors have won nine of their past 10 games overall and are on a roll right now.

Young changes everything for the Hawks and gives them some real firepower to work with. If the Hawks want to keep climbing and be ready for the postseason, Young will need to be active.
