Can Warriors get back on track at home against Bucks and Suns?

Home is an haven for the Warriors. So this accessible mini home angle off a three-game accident alley cruise should be anything the aggregation is looking advanced to.

But the two-game home angle won’t be easy. They have Giannis Antetokounmpo and the first-place Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday and Western Conference battling Phoenix Suns anon afterwards on Monday afore they set off on the alarming alley again.

No aggregation in the NBA has a further desperate break up amid home and abroad annal than the Warriors: They’re 27-7 at Chase Center and 7-27 on the alley this season. Sitting in a three-way tie for the sixth berry as of Friday night, a cruise home to comedy two of the league’s high teams could either animate a balked Golden State locker allowance or accelerate them into an continued accident band they can’t allow with alone 14 amateur actual in the often season.

“Got further amateur in the agenda to accumulate addition it out,” Steph Curry answered afterwards their accident to Memphis on Thursday. “Part of how we got actuality was once angry by each year, whatever the challenges were, alike although scenarios are a little different, ambience is different, about again, holding the achievement which we have abundant in this locker allowance until it’s accurate which we don’t or we do.

“That’s all we can do as players at this point, that’s why we appearance up each day.”

Can things go right? Here’s how they bout up adjoin the Bucks and Suns.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks have MVP Antetokounmpo listed as ambiguous on the harm address as of Friday with correct duke soreness. He absent Thursday’s bold adjoin the Brooklyn Nets with a agnate injury, so it’s accessible the superstar will absence the Warriors matchup.

But the Warriors will have their easily abounding if Antetokounmpo plays. Draymond Green, who is ambidextrous with a larboard duke injury, is one of few players on the agenda — advantageous or present — who can avert Antetokounmpo and delivery abundant admeasurement to a absolutely depleted frontcourt.

Part of yet addition apathetic begin in Thursday’s accident stemmed from arch drillmaster Steve Kerr opting to begin four guards — Curry, Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson and Donte DiVincenzo. Kerr accepted the accommodation was once “too cute.” But the agents is active with constrained frontcourt options.

Andrew Wiggins’ cachet is still alien as he tends to claimed issues. Jonathan Kuminga afflicted his abate all through warmups in Memphis and could absence further amateur affective forward. Golden State has a admeasurement affair which will be affronted if Antetokounmpo takes the court.

Curry in accurate will have to accord Jrue Holiday, one of the bigger Curry defenders area actual few exist. Curry is averaging 32 credibility and cutting 51.4% from 3 back his acknowledgment from harm on March 5 and fueled all their comebacks which asleep double-digit deficits. But opposing defenses have managed to atmosphere the comebacks — the Grizzlies closed their win on Thursday by banishment the affray out of Curry’s easily as abundant as possible.

The Warriors are 0-1 adjoin the Bucks this season, accident to them in Milwaukee in December. The Bucks sit in first abode of the Eastern Conference on the alternate of a contempo 17-game win streak.

Phoenix Suns

The Suns aren’t as alarming as they were a few days ago. Kevin Durant will absence Monday’s bold afterwards adversity an abate abrasion all through warmups on Wednesday.

Durant has played the Warriors at Chase Center already all through his 1-1/2 year administration with the Brooklyn Nets, about it was once after admirers in the stands due to the COVID-19 restrictions. He watched afflicted from the bank all through Brooklyn’s two added visits to the Bay Area. So Bay Area admirers have yet to watch Durant alive back he ill-fitted up for Golden State in the 2019 Western Conference semifinals at Oracle Arena.

His absence leaves the Suns after one of the NBA’s many abounding scorers. An accessible accident for Phoenix and advantage for the Warriors.

Phoenix gave up a lot of their abyss to acreage Durant, including Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson. Bridges, now with Brooklyn, has been a boxy ambit apostle and has had lots of battles adjoin Curry.

But the Suns have All-Stars Devin Booker and Chris Paul to advance the allegation alternating with above Warrior Damion Lee, who torched Golden State for 22 credibility (including 14 chargeless throws) in their aftermost bout up in January.

The Warriors are 0-3 adjoin Phoenix this season, including one accident at home. The Suns have won four beeline and are in the Western Conference’s fourth seed.
