NBA 2018-19: Matches to watch out for in Week 9, Dec 10th to Dec 16th

#2 Toronto vs. Golden State, Wednesday December 12th

Golden State Warriors v Cleveland Cavaliers

NBA fans will be spoiled for choice on Wednesday; the two best teams in the NBA go to war on the west coast after the rookie showcase takes place in Atlanta.

Steph Curry is back from injury and the Warriors look back to their best after a rough patch a couple of weeks ago stemming from the KD-Draymond Green drama. Kawhi Leonard, New Balance's latest poster boy, has led the Toronto Raptors to the best record in the NBA and looks like a true MVP candidate. The teams colliding on Wednesday will likely make for one of the best games of the year.

Toronto will be looking to prove that they aren't just fortunate to be playing in the East, but they are the real deal and are genuine championship contenders. Leonard and Kevin Durant scored 37 and 51 points respectively when the teams last met two weeks ago as the Raptors pulled off an overtime win, but Curry wasn't playing for Golden State.

Will Curry power the Warriors to victory, or will Leonard strengthen his MVP case? Most importantly, is this the last time we will see these star-studded teams play each other this year, or is this a preview of The Finals?
