Golden State Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry plans to fly to Portland Saturday night to watch his brother, Blazers guard Seth Curry, play against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
Curry and the Warriors beat the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday night at home and have Saturday off. It takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes to get from the Bay Area to Portland via plane.

Seth Curry comes off the Blazers' bench. The 28-year-old is averaging 6.0 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game while shooting 43.9 percent from the field, 55.0 percent from beyond the arc and 100.0 percent from the free-throw line in roughly 18 minutes of game action.
Seth's biggest fan is his brother and Warriors guard. The two-time league MVP and three-time NBA champion has never let his fame and success get in the way of his love for his younger brother. The Lakers are in the same division as the Warriors, so it's safe to say Stephen will be rooting against LeBron Saturday night.
The Warriors talent is off to a blazing start this season and many believe he is the early frontrunner to win the MVP award. The sharpshooter is averaging 32.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists and shooting 53.9 percent from the floor, 50.9 percent from the 3-point line and 91.7 percent from the charity stripe.
