A thrilling match awaits basketball fans as Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors square off against DeMar DeRozan and the Sacramento Kings this Thursday at 10 p.m. ET. Curry, currently 14th in the NBA for scoring, averages 24.5 points per game, with a 3-point shooting accuracy of 39.8%—his lowest since the 2021-22 season.
