The Golden State Warriors begin the final month of the regular season with a five game homestand starting with Wednesday night’s matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The game will be played at 7:00 PM PT in San Francisco and can be watched on ESPN and NBC Sports Bay Area.
Previously with the Warriors:
Golden State saw their three-game
winning streak come to an end on Sunday night, losing to the Denver Nuggets on the road, 116–93. Despite entering the game as big underdogs, the Warriors came out strong and even took a seven-point lead into halftime.
However, behind three-time MVP Nikola Jokić, Denver took control in the second half, outscoring Golden State 70–40 across the final two quarters to pull away with the victory. Jokić finished just shy of a triple-double with a game-high 23 points, 15 rebounds, and eight assists.
Meanwhile on the Warriors’ side, Brandin Podziemski and Kristaps Porziņģis tied for the team lead with 23 points apiece. Both were efficient from beyond the arc, with Podziemski knocking down five of his eight attempts, while Porziņģis went a perfect 5-of-5 from three.
What to watch for tonight:
While the Warriors received encouraging injury news with Steph Curry returning to practice and participating in a 5-on-5 scrimmage, he is not quite ready for tonight’s matchup against the Spurs. That means Curry will have now missed 26 games since suffering a right knee injury back in January, though there is optimism he could return Sunday against the Houston Rockets.
Unfortunately, the Warriors’ injury problems don’t end there. On the first night of a back-to-back, Golden State enters with a more extensive injury report than usual. It will be especially noticeable in the frontcourt as Porzingis, Al Horford, and Quinten Post are among those listed as out, leaving the team extremely thin at center.
That lack of size comes at a tough time as Golden State prepares to face one of the league’s most dominant big men in San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama. The MVP candidate is coming off a monster 41-point performance against the Chicago Bulls on Monday, adding 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks, and a steal.
Draymond Green is expected to draw the primary assignment on Wembanyama, but with limited depth behind him, players like 10-day contract Omer Yurtseven and two-way forward Malevy Leons could be forced into extended minutes against him too — a matchup that could spell a long night for the Warriors.
Enjoy the game Dub Nation. GO WARRIORS!!!
