The Warriors will next face the strong team in the East, the Nets, from the perspective of record, the Warriors have performed better this season, from the perspective of stars, the Nets are the top of the league, which is why the Nets are a strong team for the championship. Of course, the Nets also have some problems, such as Irving can only play away games, and now Durant is also injured, in all cases, Harden's sacrifice is undoubtedly the biggest, this season Harden is still the Nets' core point guard, he can pass the ball to score.
Warriors against the Nets, Harden is not in the injury list, that is to say, Harden ushered in a comeback, and Irving is also able to play away games, Durant is still in a state of injury, Sharp is a high probability to play. On the Warriors' side, Green and Iguodala are absent, Bjelica is also on the injury list, Klay Thompson will play in this game, and in terms of Klay's current playing time, the general back-to-back game will be rested.
When Durant is absent, Harden will get a lot of points in a game, because this time the team needs Harden to score, the Nets have recently experienced consecutive losses, they are very much in need of victory, and the Warriors are currently in a good state, the team has ushered in a winning streak, Curry's feel is also restored, plus Klay Thompson is now shooting well, so this game, who loses and who wins is not easy to say, need to see the situation of the impromptu play.
The attention of this game is also very high, after all, both teams are the league's championship teams, and the core players of both sides have met many times in the playoffs. This season, many fans are also complaining about the use of players by Nets coach Nash, that is, the core players have been playing for too long, sometimes Harden and Durant have to play for more than 40 minutes, and playing time will increase the risk of injury, because the current pace of the game is fast, of course, Nash does not do this, the possibility of winning is not very likely, so it is very contradictory.
A team wins a championship, a good lineup is a prerequisite, but it also needs to be timely and geographically favorable, such as if Irving is not injured last season, then the Nets are very likely to win the championship. There are many teams competing for the title this season, there are Nets, Bulls, Bucks and Heat in the East, and there are teams such as the Suns, Warriors and Grizzlies in the West, many times, the health of core players must be guaranteed on the way to the championship, and it is expected that Durant and Green and others will return as soon as possible.
