This will be the next big test of this young season for the upstart Dubs.
The Golden State Warriors have navigated the first five games very smoothly, going 4-1, good enough for second in the Western Conference. And with Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins sidelined for portions of it, that’s no small feat.
So…like… is strength in numbers back?

So far they’ve knocked off the Portland Trail Blazers, Utah Jazz, and the New Orleans Pelicans twice.
But their next five game slate could prove to be much tougher. Next up on the docket is a five game road trip starting in Houston, heading to Washington, then Boston, Cleveland, and Oklahoma City.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are an undefeated 5-0 at the time of this writing, the best record in the league. Meanwhile the Oklahoma City Thunder have the best record in the Western Conference at 4-0. Then you have the reigning, defending champion Boston Celtics who are a notoriously tough out in their building.
5 game Roadie starts on Saturday…

The Washington Wizards feature former champion Warrior Jordan Poole, who has been balling this year and would love to get some highlights on his old squad. And then there’s Houston, a team chock full of young talent.
