The Golden State Warriors are hosting the Orlando Magic tonight. Playing their seventh straight home game, the Warriors would look to avenge their loss on the road. In their last game, the Pistons took down the short-staffed Warriors playing without Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, winning the season series 2-0.

Stephen Curry will remain OUT against the Magic
Yesterday Stephen Curry finally started five-on-five practices and full-contact scrimmages with the team.
Today was Stephen Curry’s first full team practice since he suffered his left shoulder injury. No restrictions.
“It felt good… I feel like I haven’t lost too much in terms of conditioning in terms of understanding what 5-on-5 is like.”

This is great news for the Warriors fans, as this sits perfectly with his estimated timeline of return. Steph’s expected to return on the first game of the upcoming five-game road trip.
For tonight’s game, Stephen Curry remains OUT. Andre Iguodala is expected to make his season debut tonight. Andrew Wiggins has been upgraded to probable.
Andrew Wiggins is probable for tomorrow’s game against the Magic. It is expected to be the end of the longest absence of his career. He’s missed the previous 15 games. Never missed more than 11 total games in any season.

Will Steph be able to lead the Warriors to a playoff berth?
After the way the season started, many instantly doubted the Warriors, despite them being defending champions. With Steph being injured for the past three weeks, the Warriors have figured out a lot of their issues.
At the same time, Klay Thompson has been firing on all cylinders, which is something that has been missing so far. If Steph returns healthy and is back to the level he was at. The Warriors would be ready to cause a rumble in the West and put the league on notice.
The chances of them succeeding in the postseason will all depend on the team’s availability and health.
