The Golden State Warriors have been turning things around recently and won eight of their last ten games before the recent All-Star Break. With that break over, the Warriors have a few options heading forward - and many questions swirling around them.
The biggest question is how well the supporting stars will do. Fans can be quite certain that Stephen Curry will continue to play well but will Andrew Wiggins keep finding his footing? Will Klay Thompson thrive on the bench? Will Draymond Green continue to fire up the locker room and keep everyone else locked in?
Additionally, another major question about the Warriors is how much Jonathan Kuminga can do for the rest of the season. The player has had a breakout season and is playing the best basketball of his career. Just a few months ago, he was very unhappy with his role on the team but he has come alive and seems very happy as well as productive. Can he keep it up?
When will Chris Paul be back? This is another question that Warriors fanatics are wondering. He has been hurt since the start of January but he could be back within a matter of weeks. How will the combination of both Paul and Klay Thompson off the bench do?
Speaking of Thompson, he just had a wonderful 35-point performance in his first time coming off the bench since his rookie year. Head coach Steve Kerr plans to keep Thompson in the second unit for the foreseeable future so will he have more 35-point game to offer Golden State?
The Warriors have dug quite a hole for themselves and it'll be hard to dig out but they have surprised and overperformed in the past before. Will they be able to do it again?
