Golden State Warriors veteran shooting guard Klay Thompson

Since Steph Curry went down on Feb. 4, the Golden State Warriors have been treading water at 4-4. They have done so on the back of veteran shooting guard Klay Thompson, who has stepped up big-time offensively.

Thompson has averaged 28.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 6.5 3-pointers per game over his last eight games. He has done so on a 48.5/47.3/83.3 shooting split.

Overall, the Warriors are 11-12 without Curry this season and 20-18 with him. If they can continue to stay afloat until Curry returns, they should have a very good chance of securing a playoff spot.

Curry is averaging 29.4 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 6.4 APG, 1.0 SPG, and 4.9 3-pointers on a 49.5/42.7/92.2 shooting split through 38 games.
