The 19-18 Warriors are currently tied for eighth place in the Western Conference, thanks to a four-game winning streak. Golden State has been strong offensively, as they rank sixth in points per game and 16th in offensive rating. They have left plenty to be desired on the less flashy side of the ball, however, ranking 26th in opponents points per game and 18th in defensive rating.
