Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry went off for 40 points in a 122-108 win over the Houston Rockets on Monday night, with 21 of those points coming in the fourth quarter. The Warriors are right back in action Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs, so fans want to know: Is Stephen Curry playing vs. the Spurs?
Is Stephen Curry playing vs. Spurs
After exerting so much energy in 38 minutes against the lowly Rockets, the Warriors are deciding to rest Curry against the Spurs, so he will not be in the lineup. Curry is just one of many Dubs players who won't be playing:
Steph Curry is out tonight in San Antonio. Sitting on the second night of a back-to-back. Warriors will also be without Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Nemanja Bjelica, James Wiseman. Skeleton crew.

As Slater notes, it's going to be a skeleton crew on the second night of the back-to-back. Draymond Green has been out for a bit now, while Klay Thompson isn't playing back-to-backs yet after his return.
The Warriors have won six games in a row to get to 38-13 on the season, but that winning streak will now be in serious jeopardy with all these guys sitting out. Of course, this will give the youngsters on the roster a chance to shine, and these guys shouldn't be counted out.
Guys like Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Mood should see plenty of action, which will be fun to watch. Even if the Warriors lose, it will be good to see these guys get extended minutes as they continue their development.
It's slightly unfortunate that Stephen Curry won't get to play again as he tries to get out of his slump for good. He's certainly showing signs of life.
