Golden State Warriors Betting Preview

The Warriors have lost their last two matchups and need to bounce back. Their recent defeat was at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets, which was a 128-120 outing.

Steph Curry led with 28 points and seven assists, but despite his good performance, the team as a whole failed to capitalize on an 18-point lead. Their defense allowed the Nets to finish the fourth quarter with 41 points.
