The Golden State Warriors face potential trap game situations with these five games.

The regular season is almost here for the Golden State Warriors. After a season of history and heartbreak last year, the Warriors will look to make a new mark with the addition of Kevin Durant. Although the Warriors likely won’t be chasing history this time around, they still will win plenty of games.

However, there will be nights when teams bring the best against their Warriors. Those games are called trap games and are reserved for teams that aren’t in the top three or four teams in the league. When a team like the Warriors has the roster that they do, there are some potential trap games they have to watch out for. These are the top five trap games on the roster.

5. at Portland – January 29

It’s hard to call a game against Portland a trap game. They pushed Golden State in the playoffs and it took an incredible performance from Stephen Curry to move on. However, this is a trap game because of the fact it lands on a Sunday night, and is in Portland.

The Warriors will likely be riding high into their contest against Portland and with this game taking place a couple of weeks before the All-Star Break, they might be in to resting guys. They might also try to put things on cruise control.

This game could be much like the regular season game last year where Portland ran the Golden State out of the arena in Portland. The Trail Blazers just play at a different level when they are at home and this game has trap written all over it.
