The Golden State Warriors' season is on the line tonight in a win-or-go-home NBA Play-In Tournament showdown against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big question for fans has been answered: Steph Curry will be on the court. However, the Warriors' star guard will be operating under a minutes restriction as he continues to work his way back from a knee injury that sidelined him for over two months.

Curry returned for the final four games of the regular season, and the team is wisely managing his workload to ensure he's available for this critical stretch. Expect him to play less than 40 minutes as he works to find his full rhythm. This cautious approach is understandable, but it adds another layer of intrigue to a high-stakes game where every possession counts.

The Warriors face a tough challenge, having lost three of their four regular-season meetings with the Clippers, including a recent defeat last weekend. Their sole victory came all the way back in October. To extend their season and earn a final shot at the playoffs against the Phoenix Suns, Golden State will need a vintage performance, even if it's a condensed one, from their legendary shooter.
