With Curry winning the award in April and May, he became the first member of the Warriors to be named Player of the Month in consecutive frames.

Despite the accolades, the Warriors will need more magic from Curry in May during the play-in tournament. On Wednesday, Curry and the Warriors will travel to Hollywood to meet LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the play-in game.
