Points Guards: Curry maintains averages while Rubio fills up the assist column

Stephen Curry: 26-5-7, 2 STL,  9-19 FG, 4-12 3PT

After a stud performance in his last game, Curry will take a step back and look to get his teammates more involved.

Ricky Rubio: 10-3-10, 3 STL, 3-9 FG, 1-3 3PT

Rubio continues will struggle with shooting but will make up for it by quarterbacking the offensive end. Rubio will initiate the offense and dish out 10 dimes.

Shooting Guards: Oubre Jr. solid in all aspects while Beasley leads Timberwolves in scoring

Kelly Oubre Jr: 15-6-4, 2 STL, 2 BLK, 5-11 FG, 2-6 3PT

Oubre will continue to be average with his shooting but stellar on the defensive end. Oubre’s job on the court is to be a pest. He seems to be everywhere on the floor. Oubre feeds off his defensive energy and will look to be an annoyance for the Minnesota offense.

Malik Beasley: 27-5-5 ,1 STL, 1 BLK, 9-20, 4-10 3PT

With Russell and KAT sidelined, Beasley will be the primary source of offense. His teammates are unable to create their own shot, therefore he will lead his team in scoring and shot attempts. Look for Beasley to keep the train rolling after his 30-point performance.
