6. Golden State Warriors

For the Golden State Warriors, it all but appears that they’re going to enter the playoffs as a top 3 seed in the Western Conference. However, this team’s chances of making a deep playoff run are truly going to rely on their health.

Right now, there has to be a concern not only on Stephen Curry but also on Draymond Green. If both are not in rhythm by the time the playoffs come around, it’s hard to see this team making it to the conference finals.

If healthy, however, there’s no reason to believe why this team could make such a run in the West. A conference finals matchup between the Warriors and Phoenix Suns would be extremely fascinating.
