Out. Fantasy basketball: Curry left Wednesday's game in Houston with right abdominal soreness and will not return. Check his status before Friday's trip to…

Stephen Curry was ruled out of Wednesday's game in Houston after injuring his right abdomen in the first quarter. The Warriors star started grabbing at his side a few minutes into the game, then came off a Draymond Green screen and nailed a 28-foot three but yelled in pain after the release and signalled toward the bench. After a brief conversation with Steve Kerr, Curry went to the locker room in obvious discomfort and the team officially ruled him out with right abdominal soreness early in the second quarter.

The injury wipes out Curry's one remaining game this week and leaves his status uncertain for the weekend. He is day-to-day. Over his previous nine games he had averaged 30.6 PTS, 4.1 REB, 4.3 AST, 1.0 STL, 0.1 BLK and 4.7 3PM in 28.6 minutes while shooting 50.3 per cent from the field and 98.7 per cent from the line. His 34.3 per cent usage rate at 72.2 per cent true shooting made him the engine of Golden State's eight-game win streak. Our projection of 37.1 fantasy points per game in default points scoring ranks 18th overall.

Stephen Curry

Curry is listed day-to-day with the abdominal injury. Check he is active before tip-off for any game he might play in the coming days. Golden State has one game left this week, Wednesday in Houston, but Curry is out for that contest. The Warriors do not play next week, so managers will need to monitor his status heading into the following week's schedule.

When Curry sits, Will Richard and Graham Ike have gained the most minutes in with-and-without data. Richard and Ike become streaming options in deep leagues if Curry misses extended time, though neither approaches Curry's elite usage or scoring efficiency. In nine-category leagues, losing Curry's elite percentages and threes hurts immediately. In points leagues, managers lose a top-20 producer who was delivering more than 40 fantasy points per game over his previous nine outings.

What to do

• Monitor Curry's status closely over the next few days and check he is active before any tip-off.

• Stream Will Richard or Graham Ike in deep leagues if Curry misses multiple games.

• Do not drop Curry in any format, as he is listed only day-to-day and remains a top-20 fantasy asset when healthy.
