Golden State Warriors vs Brooklyn Nets Preview

The Golden State Warriors enter tonight's contest with a record of 9-2 since Jimmy Butler made his debut on Feb. 7 against the Chicago Bulls. Butler brought a lot of positive things to the Warriors, giving Steph Curry a legitimate secondary scoring option.

Golden State has a record of 34-28 and is sitting sixth in the Western Conference standings. The Warriors have an easier schedule for the rest of the season, so they have a real shot at a Top 4 finish, especially with the fourth-seeded Memphis Grizzlies just four games ahead.

On the other hand, the Brooklyn Nets are on a downward trajectory and a five-game losing skid. The Nets appear headed to the lottery, which means they are likely playing their young players to continue their development. Their last win was on Feb. 22 over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Since then, the Nets have lost to the Washington Wizards, OKC Thunder, Portland Trail Blazers, Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs. They were not this pad in February, considering they have four wins in their last 10 games.
