Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has revealed Stephen Curry will scrimmage with the team on Thursday and he may be able to feature in Game 1 of their first round series against Denver Nuggets.
Golden State are 10/21 to win the series and Denver can be backed at 7/4.
Foot injury sidelines star
Curry missed the final 12 games of the regular season with a sprained foot but he may be able to make a return when the Dubs host Denver in Game 1 on Saturday.
The Warriors lost six of the first seven games that Curry missed, but won their final five regular season games to claim the third seed in the Western Conference and set up a best-of-seven series with the Nuggets.

Kerr hoping for positive news
Kerr revealed in an interview on 95.7 The Game that Curry has been doing some work on court, and the team should have a clear idea as to whether or not he will be ready for Game 1 after he participates in a scrimmage on Thursday.
He said: "He's been doing stuff on the court every day. But totally non-contact to this point. So the plan would be to have him scrimmage Thursday but he's got a couple days left, couple bars to clear until he can get to that point."
He added: "He'll scrimmage Thursday. The training staff will tell me how he responds. Steph will tell me how he's feeling. Friday, we'll have a good feeling one way or the other. And then at that point, we'll make a decision."
