NBA 2018-19: Western Conference Power Rankings Week 7

#4 Golden State Warriors

Kevin Durant

It'll probably take a couple of weeks, but no one would be surprised even a little bit if the Warriors climb back to the top spot, now that Steph Curry is back. The debut didn't go quite as well as hoped with a loss to the Pistons, which made it back to back losses for the defending champs.

They went 1-2 this week, beating the Magic after which they lost an overtime thriller to the Raptors, despite Kevin Durant going en Fuego. Staying competitive with the best team in the East without Curry and Draymond was a positive for Golden State, considering some of the brutal losses they'd suffered without Curry the past few weeks.

Now, with the 2 time MVP back in the fold, expect the Warriors to run over the Cavs and Hawks next week before a big showdown with the Bucks.
