The NBA’s official injury report cites “rest” as the reason Curry plans to sit out on the front end of a back-to-back.
Andrew Bogut and Shaun Livingston will join the 31-year-old on the bench for rest purposes as well.
Curry has not missed a game since December 1 when a groin injury forced him to miss 11 straight contests, meaning he has played 48 consecutive matches since then.
The six-time All-Star has averaged 27.8 points through 60 games with 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists, while shooting 47.1 percent from the field.
The Warriors enter the home game against Dallas with a 49-22 record, tied with the Denver Nuggets atop the Western Conference standings. The Mavericks, on the other hand, are sitting 14th with a 28-44 record.
Curry will be expected back when the Warriors play host to the Detroit Pistons (37-34) on Sunday.
The Pistons sit sixth in the Eastern Conference and, prior to facing the Warriors, are on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday.
