Warriors' Splash Brothers playing Tuesday vs. Magic

Steph Curry wasn't kidding Sunday when he said he wasn't at all worried about his tweaked left ankle.

After precautionary X-rays came back negative and Curry made it rain in pre-game warm-ups Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors point guard deemed himself a go for the team's game against the Orlando Magic. It doesn't appear the ankle - a minor concern even if 99 percent healthy, given his history of ankle issues - is hampering his jumper any.

Curry's Splash Brother, Klay Thompson, was also originally questionable for Tuesday's game due to a quad contusion, but he, too, will be in action against Orlando.

Obviously, this is bad news for the Magic, who find themselves tasking youngsters Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton with chasing around one of the league's best duos. Curry is averaging an obscene 23.8 points and 7.8 assists on .496/.418/.923 shooting, while Thompson has been pretty good himself, averaging 20.9 points and 3.2 assists on .444/.446/.877. 

The Warriors outscore opponents by an unfathomable 28.8 points per 100 possessions when the Splash Brothers take the floor together. Good luck, Magic.
