the easiest to 'stop' Curry is to get him in foul trouble and out of the game since he's still a subpar one-on-one defender. Last year, Tyron Lue was able to manipulate the Warriors to switch Klay off of Kyrie and get Curry to defend him; I believe this went down two or three of the games during the Finals last year. It remains to be seen if Tyron Lue will be able to get this done since I'm guessing the Warriors will try to remedy that approach from the Cavs with defensive schemes to avoid Curry trying to defend Kyrie on the wing.
