“The last three games I think he´s been tired, but it´s more of a mental and emotional fatigue than physical,” Kerr said before the game at Chase Center. “He´s fine physically. When he´s emotionally tired, it affects his decision-making. He´s a little bit out of sorts.”

Kerr said that Curry initially resisted the idea of taking a day off when the subject was brought up following Monday night’s 114-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Curry, who has logged 34 or more minutes in six of the Warriors’ last 10 games, eventually relented.

“We´ve got lots of experience with Steph. We know him well,” Kerr said. “He just needs a night off once in a while. He´s for sure earned it.”

Curry scored 20 points on 6-for-21 shooting against the Nuggets. It was the latest indication that the two-time NBA MVP might need a break.

Over the last five games, Curry is shooting 37% from the floor (32 of 86) and 32.2% (19-59) from long distance.

Golden State’s loss to Denver snapped a seven-game winning streak. The Warriors have won 14 of their last 16 games.
