The Warriors lost 90-94 to the Magic on the road today, with the Warriors losing three straight.
In their last three games, the Warriors have lost to the Celtics, Spurs and Today's Magic. The Warriors will continue on their road trip, taking on the Heat, Hawks, Wizards and Grizzlies. In Curry's absence, they may continue to lose consecutively.
In today's game, Jordan Poole played 39 minutes and shot 9-of-23, including 5-of-13 from three-point range and 3-of-3 from the free throw line, with 26 points, 2 rebounds and six assists. In the past 10 games, Poole has scored 20+ points in each game, averaging 25.2 points and 4.5 assists per game, averaging 4.4 three-pointers per game, shooting 54.5% from the field and shooting 50% from three-point range.
Thompson started 32 minutes today and made 6-of-15 shooting, 2-of-7 from three-point range and 1-of-1 from the free throw line for 15 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. Wiggins started 36 minutes and shot 5-of-19, including 2-of-6 three-pointers and 1-of-2 free throws for 13 points and eight rebounds. Green started 29 minutes and had just 2 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals on 1-of-3 shooting.
Curry missed today's game due to injury, and it is worth mentioning that in the game that Curry is absent this season, the Warriors have only won 2 wins and 8 losses. Curry has played in 64 games this season, averaging 25.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game, which is of great importance to the Warriors.
After today's game, the Warriors' record has reached 47 wins and 25 losses, although it continues to rank third in the West, but it has been 11 wins behind the Suns, which also allows the Suns to lock in the Divisional Championship of the Pacific Division in advance. In addition, the Warriors have also trailed the Grizzlies by two wins. Not only that, but if the Warriors continue to lose, their rankings are likely to continue to slide, falling out of the top six in the West.
That said, if the Warriors have a poor record in the remaining 10 games of the season, they are likely to be in the playoffs. The good news, though, is that the Warriors are already locked in the top eight in the West, so even if they have to play in the playoffs, they only need to win one game.
Of course, the Warriors still have a lot of advantages at the moment, and unless they continue to lose until the end of the regular season, they are unlikely to participate in the playoffs. It also depends on when Curry returns, and if Curry can make a comeback in time, the Warriors should still have no problem playing in the playoffs, but they may lose their home advantage in the first round.
