The Kings have put all of the pressure in the world on the Warriors as their first-round series shifts to San Francisco.
Sacramento took care of business at home, defeating Golden State in Games 1 and 2 to take a 2-0 lead. Now, the Warriors face an uphill battle. They will have to compete in Game 3 without star forward Draymond Green, who will serve a one-game suspension for stomping on Kings center Domantas Sabonis in Game 2.
With Green out, the defending champions will need their two other franchise cornerstones, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, to step up.
Will Curry be available to play in Game 3? The Sporting News has the latest updates below.

Is Stephen Curry playing tonight?
The Warriors have not yet submitted an injury report for Game 3, but Curry is expected to be available.
Curry played a team-high 41 minutes in Game 2, going for 28 points, six assists and three rebounds in the loss.
With Golden State in danger of falling into a historically insurmountable 3-0 hole, expect a big showing from Curry in Game 3.
