A tough six-game stretch is approaching the Golden State Warriors as they move towards the end of the 2019-20 NBA season.

Things won’t be getting easier for the 13-48 Golden State Warriors anytime soon. An incredibly difficult streak of games is on the horizon and their perseverance will truly be tested.

It doesn’t help that Stephen Curry‘s return to the floor has been postponed once again. The two-time MVP was targetting an early March recovery but has since pushed his arrival to later in the month.

Over the next few weeks, the Warriors will play against some of the league’s biggest titans. They begin this stretch by taking on the two-seeded Denver Nuggets on the road before heading back home for an NBA Finals rematch with the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors are rolling even without their Finals MVP, Kawhi Leonard. Toronto has won 17 of its last 21 games but will be looking to break a three-game skid on Thursday against a reeling Warriors team.

Luckily, the Dubs won’t have to face the Philadelphia 76ers at full strength. Both Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons could likely miss this game with injuries that they are currently dealing with.

The Warriors will also enjoy the benefit of playing the Brooklyn Nets without either Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving. However, the Dubs will have to battle the LA Clippers and Milwaukee Bucks during this stretch as well.

LA is rolling right now, winning each of their last four games. Meanwhile, the Bucks are on pace for 70 wins as Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 29.8 points and 17.6 rebounds across his last 12 games.

This stretch is going to test the Warriors who are currently struggling to put out a full lineup. In the last two weeks, the franchise has had to sign three players to 10-day contracts in order to fill out rotations.

Let’s brace for what could be the worst streak of Warriors basketball all season long and hope for a speedy recovery from Curry.
