team. 41. . 16-9. Previous: 6th. Golden State Warriors. 10

Stephen Curry is back in the Warriors lineup, and things are looking infinitely rosier. Golden State has split those two games but Curry has scored 57 points and made 9-of-19 3-pointers. The Warriors were 5-6 in the 11 games he missed, one of the worst stretches they’ve suffered over the past five seasons.

Their upcoming schedule won’t do them any favors with games this month against the Bucks, Raptors, Timberwolves, Clippers, Grizzlies and Trail Blazers, twice. In particular, their next two games against the Bucks and Raptors will be an opportunity to recapture some of their magic and intimidating swagger, lest they fall too far back into the pack.
