The Warriors were without Kristaps Porzingis (lower back stiffness), Moses Moody (right wrist sprain), Al Horford (right soleus strain), Seth Curry (left adductor strain) and star Steph Curry (knee), though the team was encouraged by Curry’s progress and said he would scrimmage in Atlanta in the morning before the team left for Dallas.
