NBA Playoffs Injury Report: Timetable for Golden State Warriors' Star Steph Curry's Return

The NBA playoff series between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves is heating up, but one key player's absence is casting a long shadow over the Warriors' chances.

Star player Steph Curry suffered a left hamstring injury in Game 1, forcing him to miss the rest of the series. Coach Steve Kerr of the Warriors has stated that Curry is unlikely to be available for Game 2 and may miss at least one week of action, which may affect his availability for Game 5 on May 14.

The Timberwolves' series odds were adjusted following Curry's injury, with the Timberwolves' odds shifting from -165 to -200. The current odds for Warriors at Timberwolves Game 3 are: Spread: -200 for Timberwolves, 165 for Warriors; Moneyline: -210 for Timberwolves, 160 for Warriors; Total: Not provided.

Underdogs have been on a roll in the conference semifinals, with the Warriors' Game 1 victory being one of five straight up wins for underdogs. The Timberwolves, however, have struggled from behind the arc in the last two games, recording the worst two-game shooting stretch in NBA postseason history.

Despite Curry's absence, various sports betting sites are offering bonus bets and promotions for the Golden State vs. Minnesota series. FanDuel Sportsbook offers $150 in Bonus Bets if Your Bet Wins with a $5 bet, while Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook offers $150 in Bonus Bets Instantly with a $5 bet. Caesars Sportsbook offers the opportunity to stream NFL Games In-App for Free and Double Your Winnings with a $1 bet, and BetMGM Sportsbook offers up to $1,500 in Bonus Bets if Your First Bet Doesn't Win.

In a surprising move, Fanatics Sportsbook issued $500,000 in refunds on Curry player prop bets as part of its "Fair Play" policy.

The NBA playoff series between the Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves is scheduled for Game 3 on May 10, 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. With Curry's status uncertain, the Warriors will need to rally around their remaining players to stand a chance against the favoured Timberwolves.
