The Warriors return home to face the Pacers at Oracle, and word is that there’s an outside chance Curry could be back on the court. What to watch for tonight:
- Bounce Back: After a disappointing end to the road trip, the Warriors need to bring it in front of their home fans — a two game losing streak to the Nets and Pacers is not how you make the playoffs.
- East Coast Bias: This is the final game against an Eastern Conference team for a while after a heavy slate here in the early going. With fewer games against the lesser conference in general this year the Warriors really need to take advantage.
- Rebound: The Warriors got CRUSHED on the boards in New Jersey — and that was even without Lopez playing. The Warriors have been rebounding decently this year — even after a -20 on the stat in the last game, they’re only averaging -3 on total rebounding differential this year — but they won’t be for long if they put up many similar performances to what we saw on Wednesday.
