The Golden State Warriors finally return to the Chase Center after a near two-week road trip as they prepare to host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. The game will be played at 7:00 PM PT in San Francisco and can be watched on NBC Sports Bay Area.
Previously with the Warriors:
The Warriors snapped a three-game losing streak on Monday with a 137–131 overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks. The victory capped off a 2–4 record during their six-game road trip, but it came at a devastating cost. Moses Moody, who had just returned after missing 10 games with a wrist injury, suffered a gruesome knee injury late in overtime. He was later diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon and will miss the remainder of the season.
The timing couldn’t have been worse, as Moody looked sharp in his return, leading the team with 23 points while knocking down four three-pointers. Although the injury was a tough blow for a Golden State team already dealing with a lot of them, head coach Steve Kerr did offer a positive update regarding Moody’s condition and the upcoming surgery he is expected to undergo.
What to watch for tonight:
Wednesday night’s matchup against the Nets does carry some postseason implications for the Warriors. While the team has been trending toward a play-in spot for weeks now, that outcome could become official depending on tonight’s results.
With just 10 games remaining, Golden State sits 9.5 games behind the sixth-seeded Houston Rockets in the Western Conference. A loss would officially lock the Warriors into the Play-In Tournament, while a win would eliminate the Memphis Grizzlies from contention and leave only the New Orleans Pelicans as a distant threat for the final spot.
Though all signs point toward a play-in appearance, the Warriors have continued to compete regardless of the circumstances. That effort should be put on display again as they take on a Brooklyn team dealing with injuries and riding an eight-game losing streak.
