The Warriors remain atop the Western Conference standings after Friday night’s 112-108 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Despite playing against a undermanned Pelicans team, the game was competitive with the score coming down to the final few possessions. Draymond Green, who finished the night with 11 points and three made three-pointers, secured two clutch rebounds while hitting the free throws that would ice the game.
Regarding the final minute and change, Kerr said “A game like this you take the win and you run.” Felt like New Orleans outplayed Golden State for much of the game. Fortunate to leave victorious.

The Warriors enter tonight’s back-to-back having logged more minutes than usual after last night’s game. Regardless, head coach Steve Kerr indicated that everyone should be available for Saturday’s matchup.
Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Gary Payton II and Lindy Waters III all listed as probable tonight in San Antonio with minor ailments. Victor Wembanyama looks like he will return for Spurs after recent absence. Also listed as probable.

The key to Golden State’s recent success has been Andrew Wiggins, who is on a scoring tear. Wiggins dropped a season-high 30 points on 9-of-14 shooting against the Pelicans, marking his third consecutive game with 20+ points on at least 50% shooting. His defensive impact remains equally vital, as he regularly takes on the opponent’s top offensive threat.

On the other side, the Spurs expect to have center Victor Wembanyama return to the starting lineup after he missed the last three games due to a bruised right knee. The reigning Rookie of the Year has been nothing short of spectacular, leading the Spurs with 22.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks per game.
Wembanyama is also joined by former Warrior, Chris Paul. The 39-year-old point guard leads San Antonio with 8.6 assists per game and has been the perfect veteran leader to guide this young Spurs team.
Chris Paul on playing with Victor Wembanyama:

“You've never played with a point guard like me… I've never played with a center that I've set screens for.”

Victor Wembanyama’s unique combination of length and athleticism poses a significant challenge for a smaller Warriors team, however, that hasn’t stopped them from stepping up in their previous matchups.
