Still, one of the key players of thelast season, Andrew Wiggins won’t be available to play in this matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.

But those issues haven’t taken effect on the Warriors’ performance in the last couple of the games at the Chase Center. At least for now, as the team managed by Steve Kerr has won three games in a row since the Christmas Day game. Also, the Dubs hold a record 15 wins and 2 losses in San Francisco, which isn’t bad at all.

To top it all off, the Warriors will have four more games at home, which will get them some time in order to recover their injured and unavailable players. Especially the Splash Brothers, the Canadian player, and other recently signed players, who still need to prove their value.
