Golden State Warriors Preview
The Golden State Warriors have been one of the worst affected teams by injuries this year. They are now without Steph Curry for an indefinite period. The Dubs have struggled in his absence over their last few games.
They haven't had that extra scoring option outside of Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson. Andrew Wiggins seems to be struggling for form at the moment, while the bench has been quiet too. Draymond Green hasn't been as effective either, and it seems like he will take some time to rediscover his rhythm.
The Golden State Warriors need to be at their best defensively at least to have a better chance of winning games. They weren't efficient on that end in their last game against the Hawks and paid the price for it. Klay Thompson's 37-point outing on nine of 16 3-point shooting was the only takeaway for Steve Kerr's men from that match.
Klay Thompson tonight:
37 PTS
14-26 FG
9-16 3P
in 40 MINS
That’s the most threes and minutes he’s had since coming back. https://t.co/JNETeqtrsN
Golden State Warriors Predicted Lineup
G - Jordan Poole; G - Klay Thompson; F - Andrew Wiggins; F - Draymond Green; C - Kevon Looney.
Washington Wizards Preview
The Washington Wizards started the season surprisingly well, with a 10-3 record, and it looked like they could make the push for a second consecutive playoffs appearance this season. However, they slumped quicker than expected and never recovered, finding themselves at 31-42, seeded 12th in the Eastern Conference.
The season is pretty much over for the Wizards now as they are five and a half games behind the play-in tournament seeding. Nevertheless, they have an exciting squad to work with for next season. These last few games give them an excellent opportunity to work out some combinations and schemes they can build on during the summer.
Kristaps Porzingis tonight:
30 PTS
10 REB
2 BLK
3 3PT
He is averaging 21/8 on 62 TS% with the Wizards. https://t.co/0OqV3dherk
Their latest star acquisition, Kristaps Porzingis, seems to have settled well in DC. He led them to their recent win over the Pistons with a 30-point, ten-rebound performance. With impact players like Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal sidelined, Porzingis will once again be a key player for the Washington Wizards.
Washington Wizards Predicted Lineup
G - Tomas Satoransky; G - Corey Kispert; F - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope; F - Rui Hachimura; C - Kristaps Porzingis.
