Point Guards: Curry and Morant both lead their teams in scoring

Stephen Curry: 33-5-6, 1 STL, 12-24 FG, 5-13 3PT

Curry will continue to display his terrific shooting prowess to get his team over the hump and into the postseason as the 8-seed.

Ja Morant: 31-3-8, 2 STL, 11-19 FG, 2-5 3PT

Morant will be dishing out dimes to his teammates while slashing to the hoop and showing his athleticism at the rim. Expect him to get his teammates involved quite a bit.

Shooting Guards: Bazemore and Brooks struggle from the field, excellent defensive presence

Kent Bazemore: 10-3-3, 3 STL, 2 BLK 3-9 FG, 1-3 3PT

Bazemore’s strong suit comes on the defensive end. He is an unpleasant player to go up against and will make his opponents work extremely hard for a bucket.

Dillon Brooks: 17-5-1, 2 STL, 1 BLK, 4-13 FG, 1-4 3PT

Brooks was phenomenal against the Spurs last game but will take a step down against the Warriors. Brooks was able to score inside with ease, but he will struggle to facilitate with Steve Kerr’s great defensive scheme.
