Golden State will be healthier for Monday's game than it was for Sunday's game
The Golden State Warriors will have more reinforcements than they did Sunday for their matchup with the Washington Wizards on Monday. Kristaps Porzingis, who was listed as out with "illness management" for Sunday's game, will play against the Wizards.
De'Anthony Melton will also play, and Draymond Green is listed as probable. Stephen Curry , Al Horford , Moses Moody and Seth Curry remain out, while Quinten Post and LJ Cryer are questionable. Even if Post and Cryer can't go, the Warriors will have more players available against the Wizards than they did against the Knicks. Anthony Davis, D'Angelo Russell, Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr are among six players ruled out for Washington.The Warriors enter Monday two games back of the Clippers for eighth place in the Western Conference. The Dubs have a half game lead over the Trail Blazers for ninth. For those of you tank commanders out there, the Warriors are 8.5 games ahead of the Grizzlies for 11th. The Dubs won't be falling behind them in the standings, so Golden State will be in the play-in tournament.As someone who has covered the team all season and followed the team for decades, I try to avoid using "must-win" for any regular-season game.The Warriors' next three games after Monday are at Boston, at Detroit and at Atlanta. If they lose to the Wizards, their losing streak has a good chance of extending to nine games. As noted above, even a nine-plus-game losing streak won't knock the Warriors out of the play-in tournament. But from a morale standpoint, it's imperative to get a win against a team with an 11-game losing streakPG: Brandin Podziemski, Pat Spencer, LJ Cryer PF: Draymond Green , Malevy LeonsSuffice to say, having Melton and Porzingis back makes the Warriors' lineup much more formidable. On Friday, Porzingis had his highest-scoring game with the Warriors, totaling 20 points in 22 minutes.The Warriors will have more than enough firepower to take down a 16-win Wizards team.
