3. Expect a few more wins, but not a winning team

Curry will undoubtedly lead the Warriors to more wins than they have grown accustomed to throughout this season.

However, don’t expect the Warriors to do too much winning. I would be surprised if they finish the home stretch of the season over .500.

As Steph works his way back into game shape, I doubt the Warriors will be playing him a ton of minutes. I’d expect Kerr to limit him to the 25 minute range for a while as risking another tweaked ankle would alter the course of the franchise (also need to keep the tank job in check).

Also, aside from a slumping Draymond and the newly acquired Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors are limited to rookies, G-League call ups, and an injury-plagued Kevon Looney.

Steph shouldn’t expect to be getting a ton of help from his teammates.
