The Warriors have been in poor form lately, losing two straight, and on Jan. 10 they will play at home against the Cavaliers. Curry and Green will return, and most importantly, Thompson will also return to the game, and they definitely want to bounce back strongly with a neat lineup. The Cavaliers have just won, and Garland and Mobley will lead the team to the Warriors, who hope to win back-to-back.
Curry has recently been plagued by injuries, a right quadriceps injury that led to a sideline, and the Warriors lost to the Pelicans on the road and suffered their first losing streak of the season. At home against the Cavaliers on January 10, winning is the only goal, which requires the efforts of the whole team.
Curry is now out of the injury squad, which means he can play, and his great performance is the key to the team's win. Curry has really been affected by injuries lately, which has led to a decline in performance and a sharp turn in shooting percentages. The Warriors need Curry to get back in shape as quickly as possible, and home is the best chance.
Thompson, who has been absent for more than a year, was actually injured in 2019, when he injured his left knee cruciate ligament in Game 6 of the Finals. Who knew that before the start of last season, he suffered another injury, and the right Achilles tendon fracture allowed him to recuperate for more than a year, but fortunately finally recovered. Thompson is the Warriors' second point of attack, and if he can get back to form, the team's combat effectiveness will be upgraded by a notch.
Green will also return to the game, which will be a great help to the team's interior line. Green isn't the Warriors' point of attack right now, but defending and responding to passes on the inside is very important. Against the Cavaliers, Green will encounter the impact of Mobley, Allen and others, at this time Looney also needs to help Big Brother decompress.
Wiggins and Poole have also performed well in the new season, the two are already the team's 2nd and 3rd attack points, and they want to continue to support Curry. The Warriors also have Payton, Porter, Bjelica, Lee, Iguodala and other people to use, they also have to play well, then the team's winning hopes are greatly increased.
The Cavaliers just won when they won 114-101 away from home to the Blazers. It's an uphill battle against the Warriors, against the league's top teams, but they'll still fight. The Cavaliers haven't had an easy schedule lately, with a wave of six consecutive aways and they hope to keep winning, with Cavaliers Garland doing well and carrying the team after Sexton's season reimbursement. Garland has a total of 53 points and 16 assists in his last two games, and as long as he maintains this state, it will put a lot of pressure on the Warriors.
The Cavaliers are good inside, with Aaron, Mobley and Markkanen at the moment, who have played an important role. Against the Warriors, the Cavaliers have no advantage on the outside, so it may be better to start from the inside, which may open the gap. The Cavaliers' bench also has Loew available, and the veteran still has a double-double score per game this season.
Cavaliers Rubio's injury was a big loss, so they traded with the Lakers to Rondo, and the new signing came to a very good state, with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the first game, so it was necessary to continue the form.
Expected starters:
Cavaliers: Garland, Stevens, Markkanen, Mobley, Allen.
Warriors: Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Green, Looney.
