Guard Steph Curry (right hip contusion), forward Draymond Green (left knee contusion) and forward De'Anthony Melton (right chest contusion) are questionable for the Warriors' game against the Utah Jazz on Friday night at Delta Center.

NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole spoke to Green as he walked to the team bus in Portland on Thursday, with the 34-year-old making it clear he's fine.
Draymond was limping on the way to the bus. Asked him about it. Response was the same as most pro athletes with a postgame limp: ‘I’m aight, man.’ https://t.co/g50GTyvhEo

Because the Warriors were running away from the Blazers, Curry only played 25 minutes, while Green played 20 and Melton played 19 off the bench.
Curry finished with 17 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds, missing a triple-double because he sat the entire fourth quarter.

Green scored eight points, grabbed six rebounds and picked up his first technical foul of the season.
Melton added 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting, while dishing out four assists in his Warriors debut.
