UPDATE: Steph Curry finished Saturday's game with 30 points, so he is just eight away from passing Wilt Chamberlain.  

On Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors will be in Sacramento to face off with the Kings for Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. 

During the game, Steph Curry has a chance to make NBA history. 

The two-time MVP currently ranks 20th on the all-time playoff scoring list with 3,570 points over 134 games. 

He is 38 points away from moving ahead of Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain (3,607) for 19th.

During the 2022-23 regular season, Curry scored 38+ points in ten out of his 56 games, and he has scored 38+ points in ten NBA Playoff games (according to StatMuse).

If the nine-time NBA All-Star doesn't pass Chamberlain on Saturday, he will more than likely move ahead of him in Game 2 on Monday night. 

The Warriors won the 2022 NBA Championship over the Boston Celtics, which was their fourth title in the previous eight seasons (they have also been to the NBA Finals six times in that span). 

However, they had an up-and-down regular season this year and finished as the sixth seed in the Western Conference with a 44-38 record. 

At home, the Warriors were fantastic, with a 33-8 record at the Chase Center. 

Their problems came on the road, going just 11-30 away from San Francisco. 

At 35 years old, Curry is still among the ten best players in the league and averaged an incredible 29.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per contest. 

He also shot a tremendous 49.3% from the field and 42.7% from the three-point range.
