The Golden State Warriors will be facing the Boston Celtics without the help of Klay Thompson, who will miss his second straight game with knee soreness (as discussed earlier today).
Of course, this is no reason to panic — the Warriors are still in first place in the Western Conference and I’d prefer a healthy Thompson heading into the playoffs. However, in terms of tonight’s matchups, Thompson’s absence means that the Warriors will need to find another way to guard ball handling phenom — and familiar foe — Kyrie Irving.
