Stephen Curry and Brook Lopez have been named the NBA's Players of the Week.

Curry helped the Warriors to a 4-0 week, with all four wins coming against teams that would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. He averaged 30.0 points (third in the conference) and 8.0 assists (second in the conference), and connected on 24-of-38 three-point field goals (63.2 percent). Curry posted back-to-back point-assist double-doubles on March 24 and 27 during wins over the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies.

Lopez led the Nets to a 3-1 week behind a conference-best 28.8 points, 8.5 rebounds (10th in the conference) and 2.25 blocks (tied-third in the conference). Lopez shot 57.8 percent from the field overall and converted better than 60.0 percent twice. He recorded two point-rebound double-doubles, including a 34-point, 10-rebound effort during which he also contributed three blocks and two steals in a 91-88 win over the Charlotte Hornets on March 25.

Marreese Speights said he knew the Washington Wizards would falter in Monday's game if the Golden State Warriors elevated their defense.

"We just turned up a little," Speights said. "We knew if we hit them, if we got a couple stops they would start arguing with each other and quit. We went out there with a good mindset in the second half and we did it.”

The Wizards lost 107-76 and were outscored 29-8 in the third quarter.

The Golden State Warriors currently have the fourth point differential since the NBA introduced the three-point line.

The top-6 teams in point differential before the current season have all gone on to win the NBA championship.

The 12-13 Oklahoma City Thunder rank eighth in point differential and made the Western Conference Semifinals despite losing Russell Westbrook in the first round. 

Klay Thompson will miss one week to 10 days for the Golden State Warriors with a right ankle sprain.

Thompson will miss Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Golden State Warriors will rest Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut and Andre Iguodala in their game on Friday against the Denver Nuggets.

Steve Kerr will start Shaun Livingston, Justin Holiday, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green and David Lee.

Marreese Speights is out for the game due to a suspension.

The Warriors have a seven-game lead for the top seed in the Western Conference.

Marreese Speights has been suspended one game by the NBA for reckless driving.

Speights recently pled no contest on the charge, which occurred in August.

David Lee has been out of the Golden State Warriors' rotation of late and presumably will take Speights' place during the suspension.

David Lee is the highest paid player on the Golden State Warriors and is signed through the 15-16 season, but he's become an auxiliary option this season.

Draymond Green supplanted Lee as the starting power forward and Lee also splits time with Marreese Speights.

Lee had his second DNP-CD in three games on Monday.

"We're winning and we're having fun," Lee said. "It's hard at times. I couldn't do this if we weren't winning. But we are. I'm not going to put myself ahead of that."

"I communicate with all my players, all the time," Steve Kerr said. "And every player is different. Every situation is different. This is a really tricky one.

"David's a great player. He's been an All-Star. He's still in his prime," he went on. "What's been tricky is that we’ve developed a formula while he was out that has been very effective for us. And you compound that with the fact that the whole league is going small at the 4-position and every night you're playing a 3-point shooter at the 4 spot. We've adapted to that. We've adapted to our early-season lineups. Draymond has obviously grabbed that position. So it's tricky."

Dahntay Jones was fined $10,000 for bumping Draymond Green in the nationally televised postgame interview on Sunday, the NBA announced.

The incident occurred after the Golden State Warriors' home win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Golden State Warriors continue to have little interest in JaVale McGee, according to a source.

The Warriors entertained a possible deal with McGee, but have reportedly moved on.

MeGee remains a free agent after nearly signing with the Boston Celtics.

The Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors reportedly had serious discussions at the deadline on a trade involving David Lee.

The Warriors are considering moving the final year of Lee's contract due to cap concerns and his reduced role following the emergence of Draymond Green.

The Warriors and Jazz agreed upon a cap saving trade in 2013 when Utah took on the contracts of Andris Biedrins, Richard Jefferson and Brandon Rush.
