The Golden State Warriors have cemented themselves as a playoff-caliber team in the West, and they’ll be even better if they use these three lineups more often.

After many analysts didn’t believe in Dub Nation before the season, the Golden State Warriors have completely changed how people view their franchise. It’s been on the back of Stephen Curry that the Warriors have found success.

For the second time in his career, Curry is averaging over 30 points per game. He’s been that good, and with Klay Thompson sidelined for the entirety of the season, he’ll need to continue to play at an MVP-like level.

Curry hasn’t received too much help either. Kelly Oubre Jr. was brought in to partially fill the void that was left when Thompson went down with the injury. His decline in play from a season ago has been a brutal detriment to the team at times.

Now, they have been able to see forward Andrew Wiggins re-ignite his value. Wiggins has easily become the team’s second-best option, and he’s also enhanced his play on the defensive end of the floor.

That said, this team may be better if they retool a few of their lineups. Let’s dive into three that could use more time.
