Warriors' Injury Report vs. Bulls Features Curry, Green, Melton, Post

The Golden State Warriors will be without Stephen Curry (knee) for the 15th straight game on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls.

They'll also be without his brother, as Seth Curry will miss the second leg of a back-to-back after playing in Monday's loss to the Jazz.

De'Anthony Melton was expected to play his first back-to-back of the season, but he's now listed as out with adductor soreness.

Draymond Green (back) was listed as questionable earlier Tuesday, but he'll play. Quinten Post (foot) and Moses Moody (wrist) are out.

The Warriors announced that Moody will be re-evaluated later this week, which suggests he's nearing a return.

Kristaps Porzingis is not listed on the injury report.

For the Bulls, Anfernee Simons (wrist), Jaden Ivey (calf), Collin Sexton (fibula) and Patrick Williams (ankle) are out.

Warriors Desperate for a Bounce-Back Win

After a deflating loss against the tanking Jazz, the Warriors need to beat a Bulls team that doesn't have anything to play for.

The Bulls (26-38) have lost 13 of 15, but interestingly, one of their wins came against the Suns on Thursday.

It should go without saying after Monday's game that the Warriors can't take anyone lightly.

The Dubs (32-32) are currently in ninth in the West, as the Clippers (32-32) have the head-to-head tiebreaker. If the Warriors win Tuesday, they'll at least temporarily be back in eighth place.

Big Porzingis Game Could Be Coming

Porzingis has made 19 appearances this season, and he's averaging just 23.8 minutes per game in those appearances.

Despite that low minute average, he's scored at least 20 points six times.

In his first two games with the Warriors, Porzingis was effective but not extraordinary. He had 12 points in 17 minutes against the Celtics before totaling nine points in 23 minutes against the Thunder.

Overall, Porzingis is averaging 24.8 points per 36 minutes. That would rank as the 24th-highest average if Porzingis qualified.

After Bulls Game, Warriors Start Brutal 6-Game Stretch

Here is Golden State's schedule after Tuesday's game:

3/13 vs. Minnesota
3/15 @ New York
3/16 @ Washington
3/18 @ Boston
3/20 @ Detroit
3/21 @ Atlanta

Five of those teams have winning records. And it has to be said that a five-game-in-seven-day road trip this late into the season is just cruel.

A 3-3 record in this stretch would be a good outcome.
