Steph Curry Stats Tonight: How did 4x NBA Champion perform against Denver Nuggets? (March 17)

Steph Curry has been playing like an MVP since the Golden State Warriors acquired Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat at the trade deadline. Curry has balled out in the past month, with the Warriors having a record of 14-2 since Butler debuted on Feb. 8.

The Warriors were back in action on Monday night, continuing their seven-game homestand. They were also on a seven-game winning streak when they welcomed the short-handed Denver Nuggets at the Chase Center. The Nuggets played without Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Christian Braun.

On the other hand, Curry was joined in the starting five by Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Quinten Post. But how did the four-time NBA Champion perform against the Nuggets?

Curry struggled with his shot, finishing with just 20 points on 21 field goal attempts. He made four 3-point shots, but also committed seven turnovers. His efforts were not enough to prevent Denver from snapping the Warriors' seven-game winning streak.

It was a night to forget for the two-time MVP as he looked exhausted out there. His turnovers killed any momentum the Golden State Warriors were building in the second half. Nevertheless, some of his teammates still stepped up and tried their best to prevent the 114-105 loss.

Jimmy Butler had 23 points, eight rebounds, six assists and two steals, while Draymond Green added 10 points, six rebounds, five assists, three steals and four blocks. Gary Payton II had another superb outing off the bench, finishing with 18 points, three rebounds and three steals.

The Warriors' seven-game winning streak was snapped, dropping them to a 39-29 record. They are still sitting sixth in the Western Conference standings and are 3.5 games behind the fifth seed.

How did Steph Curry perform tonight against the Denver Nuggets?

Steph Curry had a solid start to the game, scoring five points and making one 3-point shot. Curry followed it up by adding eight points to his tally and getting three steals. He also had two turnovers at halftime, so there wasn't really a big concern for the Golden State Warriors.

However, things changed in the third quarter as Curry went scoreless and committed four turnovers. It was a bad period for the four-time NBA champion as the Denver Nuggets seized further control of the contest.

The Warriors superstar appeared to come alive in the fourth quarter with seven points, but those weren't enough to prevent their winning streak from ending. Steve Kerr admitted that Steph Curry was feeling tired and should have taken the night off.

Kerr will likely give his best player a rest for Tuesday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks on the second night of a back-to-back.
