2. Golden State Warriors
Even though the Golden State Warriors have faded over the last two months of the season, this is a team that will have as good a shot as any to win the Western Conference. However, there’s one big key: health.
If the Warriors are going to make a deep playoff run, not only are they going to need Stephen Curry to play at the height of his powers but they’ll also have to be healthy – and that appears to be happening slowly.
Klay Thompson finally made his return and the expectation is James Wiseman will do the same in the coming days. A healthy Warriors team is a scary sign for the rest of the Western Conference.
