The Golden State Warriors have a ... ahem ... golden opportunity in front of them. They host the Toronto Raptors tonight, and a win would cap off a brilliant 6-1 home-stand, while pushing them further up the Western Conference standings. It’s always nice to end a stretch of three games in four nights by facing a lottery-bound team (the Raptors are just 24-45). And it’s nicer still when that team is missing a few of its best players.
Then again, Golden State’s only loss on this lengthy stay at home came against a severely undermanned Denver Nuggets squad, so the Dubs certainly can’t take a win for granted, even if they have an edge in both talent and health.
