PG Shaun Livingston had never scored more than 18 points in a postseason game. He didn't score more than 17 in any game during the regular season, and his high in the Warriors' first 17 playoff games this year was 16. However, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the veteran backup was at his best, pouring in a team-high 20 points in Golden State's win. Livingston hit eight of his 10 shots from the floor.

G Shaun Livingston was ejected after drawing back-to-back technical fouls in the second quarter Monday. His absence forced Stephen Curry, coming back from a knee injury, to play more than expected, and Curry wound up with 40 points, 27 of them in the fourth quarter and overtime.

PG Shaun Livingston scored in double figures for the fifth consecutive time as PG Stephen Curry's injury replacement Tuesday in the Warriors' win over the Trail Blazers. Livingston has made 55.6 percent of his shots (30-for-54) and averaged 14.8 points in his five starts.

PG Shaun Livingston shined in the spotlight Wednesday night, sliding into injured PG Stephen Curry's starting role and contributing 16 points to the Warriors' series-clinching win over the Rockets. However, the performance was just the culmination of a brilliant series during which Livingston scored 16 points three different times, shot 58.7 percent (27-for-46) from the field and had only six turnovers in 146 minutes.

G Shaun Livingston, again starting in place of Stephen Curry (ankle), scored 16 points Thursday in the Warriors' Game 3 loss at Houston.

PG Shaun Livingston started in place of injured PG Stephen Curry and complemented SG Klay Thompson's 34 points with 16 of his own. He also found time for six assists in 29 minutes. "He was playing so well, it was tough to take him out," Kerr said of Livingston. "His effort was fantastic."

PG Shaun Livingston, who played a total of 48 minutes in Golden State's previous two contests, was rested Sunday.

G Shaun Livingston scored 11 points and also recorded season highs in assists (eight) and steals (three) in 21 minutes.

G Shaun Livingston scored a season-high 17 points in the Warriors' win over the Lakers on Thursday.

G Shaun Livingston and C Festus Ezeli did not play for the Warriors in a Tuesday win over the Lakers, as the team chose to rest them.

PG Shaun Livingston (hip strain) had to sit out Tuesday's game after playing a season-high 30 minutes in Saturday's overtime win over Brooklyn, for which interim coach Luke Walton took the blame. "We will be monitoring his minutes in the future a little more cautiously," Walton said.

Livingston is being urged by his teammates and coaches to take more three-point attempts, CSN Bay Area reports. In his 11-year NBA career, Livingston has taken just 51 three-pointers, making 10 of them.

If Livingston were to take, and make, more three-pointers, that would obviously boost his fantasy value, but that's not his game. He's a ball-handler who usually rolls toward the hoop or cuts back door when the ball's out of his hands. His nature is to penetrate.

Livingston averaged 5.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.3 blocks, and 0.6 steals in 19 minutes per game through 78 games in 2014-15.

The 29-year-old, who finished his 10th NBA season, is under team control through 2016-17. Livingston has been healthy lately, missing just 10 games in the past two regular seasons. Not only was Livingston a presence of defense for the Warriors, but his shooting efficiency was stellar at 50 percent from the field, though he was 0 percent from three, and 71 percent from the free-throw line. With Klay Thompson, Leandro Barbosa, Andre Iguodala, and Harrison Barnes all sharing minutes on the wing, and MVP Stephen Curry playing 33 minutes a game at the point, Livingston's minutes and production next season will mostly be similar to this season.

Livingston tallied 12 points and four rebounds in 20 minutes during Thursday's Game 3 bout against the Pelicans.

Livingston averaged 15.3 minutes through the first three games against the Pelicans and that's probably a good indicator of what he'll be given moving forward as the 29-year-old comes off the bench behind Stephen Curry. As it stands the veteran's limited role in the playoffs doesn't afford him much time for production across most postseason formats.

Livingston had a quiet night off the bench Thursday against Portland as he only managed to accrue two points (1-6 FG) and two rebounds in 16 minutes.

Livingston provides beneficial minutes off the bench in relief of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson but the veteran doesn't generally get enough playing time to generate worthwhile box scores. This dynamic isn't expected to change moving forward as Livingston remains a lackluster option unless coach Steve Kerr decides to rest one of the aforementioned guards in preparation for the playoffs.

Livingston served his one-game suspension Sunday and will be available to play Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Livingston earned a one-game suspension for inappropriate touching on Dirk Nowitzki in Saturday's game against the Mavs, and Livingston was forced to sit out Sunday's game as a result of the league-levied suspension.

Livingston has been suspended one game forhitting Dirk Nowitzki in the groin during Saturday's game. Livingston will not play Sunday.

The video of the incident shows Livingston getting posted up by Nowitzki. From the front camera, it looks like Livingston hits Nowitzki inappropriately, but from the reserve camera, it simply looks like Livingston was matched up with a much taller player and ended up goosing Nowitzky on accident. Either way, the incident became a how-to-do on Twitter on Saturday, and as a result, Livingston will sit out Sunday's game against the Spurs. He should be back in action for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Livingston had eight assists in 25 minutes in Saturday night's win over the Bucks.

Golden State head coach Steve Kerr is determined to rest his starters on given night -- Saturday it was Andre Iguodala and Draymond Green -- and that means more duty for Livingston. Kerr's been handing out days off for the past few weeks and Livingston's numbers have bumped up. In his last 15 games, Livingston's averaged 4.9 assists per game, up from his 3.4 average for the season.
