On April 4, Beijing time, the Warriors won 109-90 against the Kings, after which the Warriors have won their 50th victory so far this season, and the 50-29 record also puts the Warriors in the 3rd place in the West. Judging from the record and rankings, as long as Stephen Curry is healthy and in good enough shape, this Warriors can indeed become a better competitive team.
The reason why the Warriors can play such a record in the face of many injuries is largely because the Warriors do have a good enough lineup depth, and in addition to the outbreak of Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins' performance on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends this season is also the key to the Warriors.
In the game against the Kings, andrew Wiggins, who started the game, had a team-high 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal on 8-of-16 shooting in 36 minutes, and could also shoot 4-of-7 from outside the three-point line with +7 plus-minus data.
In fact, Wiggins's short performance after the All-Star is not ideal, and even the 25 points scored in this game are already Wiggins' highest single-game scores so far in 2022. The good news, of course, is that Wiggins is largely out of the slump of the post-All-Star period, averaging 17.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 36.1 percent three-point shooting in the past seven games.
This can also be achieved on 8-of-14 shooting against the Wizards, and 20 of the last 27 free throws (74% free throw percentage).
The recovery of Wiggins' state is undoubtedly good news for the Warriors, after all, in addition to the defensive end, the Warriors definitely need Wiggins to perform well enough on the offensive end, because only in this case can the Warriors show better competitiveness in the playoffs, especially the Warriors absolutely need Wiggins to fill durant's position on the offensive end.
While Wiggins is unlikely to play Durant's level of threat on the offensive end, the Warriors flanks need Wiggins to bring a steady contribution from both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
