As for the Warriors, they are coming off a year where they were the tenth seed in the Western Conference with a 46-36 record.
They lost to De'Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings in the play-in tournament, so they missed the NBA playoffs for the third time in the previous five years.
That said, the Warriors have won four NBA Championships since the 2015 season.
