The Warriors will play their fifth game against the Nuggets on April 28. The Warriors currently lead the Nuggets 3-1. The Warriors are back at home looking forward to ending the series as soon as possible, with players on the bench hitting six milestones.
First, Curry has ranked 25th in history with 3,078 points in his playoff career, and "Dr. J." Irving is ranked 24th with 3,088 points. Irving only needs to score another 11 points to advance to 24th place, overtaking Dr. J.
Second, Curry ranked 35th with 187 career steals in the playoffs, and if he steals three times, he could surpass Abdul-Jabbar and rise to 34th all-time.
Third, Curry has shot 1,015 goals in his playoff career to rank 31st, Leonard ranked 30th with 1,019 goals, and Curry only needs to shoot 5 goals to surpass the small card and rise to 30th in history.
Fourth, Draymond Green has blocked 185 times in his playoff career, tied for 23rd place with Pippen, and Garnett is 22nd with 186 blocks. Dream chaser only needs to add two blocks to surpass Garnett.
Fifth, Draymond Green has made 203 steals, tied for 28th with Michael Cooper and Pierce at 27th with 204 steals. Green only needs 2 steals to overtake Pierce.
Sixth, Draymond Green ranked 36th with 1174 rebounds in his playoff career, and if he grabbed 12 rebounds, he could catch up with Havlicek and tie for 35th place.
Another highlight of this game is whether Curry will return to the starting lineup. Curry remained in excellent form, scoring 33 points and eight assists in game four and playing 37 minutes, a new high for his playoffs this year. Curry has played 4 consecutive substitutions, and coach Kerr said some time ago that Curry will eventually return to the starting lineup, but it is still uncertain when.
Now Curry's chances of returning to the starting lineup are basically ripe, and Kerr said on April 27 that Curry has no playing time limit in G5. Kerr avoided talking about whether Curry started, though. If Curry does return to the starting lineup, coach Kerr needs to decide whether to let Poole play as a substitute or let center Looney play as a substitute and start directly on the five small lineups. If you consider from the Nuggets that Jokic, a big center, let Curry start in place of Poole, it is more reasonable to use the traditional lineup.
