- The Golden State Warriors are desperate for a victory. After losing back-to-back games at home, the Warriors will try their luck on the road against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. Steph Curry is not mentioned on the Warriors’ injury report for this game, indicating that he is available to play. Curry’s recent troubles have led to the team’s struggles, since he has not been himself. Having said that, Curry has shown the ability to recover from minor slumps and will look to do so in this game.
While the Bulls have been one of the NBA’s most disappointing teams in recent years, they have won three consecutive games heading into this one versus the Warriors. It appears unlikely that this little hot run would alter Chicago’s trade deadline strategy, but they are entering this game playing considerably better basketball than they have for the majority of the season.
The Warriors enter this game 17-20, one game from a play-in position. Golden State hasn’t been this poor in a long time, and all indicators point to the front management switching things up at the trade deadline in order to turn this season around. For the time being, the Warriors are working with what they have and will try to win on Friday night.
