The Warriors will be without Steph Curry for the next few weeks as he recovers from a shoulder injury. How do the Warriors stay afloat without him?

The Warriors avoided the worst-case scenario, but news that Steph Curry will miss “a few weeks” with a shoulder injury suffered Wednesday night against the Pacers is certainly not a good thing. Curry has been carrying the Warriors through a difficult season and 14-15 and currently 10th in the Western Conference, they can’t afford to slip too far in the standings while he recovers.

3. Warriors need to find some minutes for Moses Moody

Moody has struggled to make shots and hold his place in the rotation, something he’s been vocally frustrated about. But he has much more offensive upside than Anthony Lamb and more potential to help the Warriors this season as they (theoretically) get deeper into the playoffs.

Moody played some of his best basketball of the season after Curry left the game Wednesday night, finishing with 13 points and 3 assists in 23 minutes, shooting 5-of-6 from the field and 2-of-3 from the arc. Let him get some extended run off the bench, let him take some more shots, let him play through some mistakes and hope it pays dividends when Curry returns.
