The Golden State Warriors faced a scrappy opponent in the Brooklyn Nets. Whether its because the Nets were prepared to take on the NBA’s top team or if they’re better than their record indicates, they forced the Warriors to earn “the W.” Tomorrow night, the Warriors will host the Toronto Raptors.
Draymond Green has been a solid for the Dubs and putting up all-around numbers. With 12.3 points to go with 7.1 assists and 7.9 rebounds, Green is doing a little bit of everything. According to Ethan Sherwood Strauss of ESPN, Dray felt under the weather and the team prepped to go without the forward from Michigan State:
The Warriors practiced today as though Draymond won’t be available tomorrow

After missing the last game, Klay Thompson is expected to return along with Leandro Barbosa. Thompson was dealing with a back injury while Barbosa was in Brazil to deal with family matter. Draymond has been a great passer, with lobs to Andrew Bogut and Festus Ezeli, his ability to pass has opened up more opportunities for his fellow big men.
