Though Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are known as the “Splash Brothers” together, it’s the reigning MVP who won the NBA’s three-point shootout on All-Star Saturday Night a year ago and is generally regarded as the “lead” of the duo. But his teammate and practice companion, Andre Iguodala, says he isn’t even the best shooter within his own backcourt. Though Curry shoots a shade better on a percentage basis from distance than his mate Thompson (45.4% to 42.0%), the margin is close enough where a
Stephen Curry Tops $200K Fantasy Contest At DraftKings; Win $10,000 Free
The highlight of a five-game NBA slate, in real life and DFS, is the Warriors going for their 42nd consecutive home victory against James Harden $10600 and the Rockets.

Bernucca: A Closer Look at Warriors’ Chase for 73 Wins
It’s time to get serious about the Golden State Warriors and their pursuit of 73 wins. Even before the advent of the 24-hour news cycle required media members to have an ironclad opinion 10 minutes after something happened, I have always been a more patient sort.

Most Improved Rankings: Who’s the Least Improved?
This column is soft. Every other week, we talk about the Most Improved Players in the league like we’re a modern-day Little League.
