The Warriors have been dominating the league for quite some time and they only got better this off-season when DeMarcus Cousins decided the join the team. In the 2017-18 season, they finished second in the west with a record of 58-24 but are likely to finish at the top this season.

Albeit the team's veteran centers who have played a key role in the Warriors' recent success left the team, the young guys are doing a great job in Cousins' absence and looked good in the first three games.

Last season, guard Stephen Curry only played in 51 games and missed out on remaining 31 due to MCL injury. The Warriors win-record took a hit in Curry's absence and if he remains healthy this season, there is no reason why they do not end up at the top. They are also the favourites to win the championship and three-peat for the first time in the franchise history.
