Prediction
The Golden State Warriors need the win after a couple of losses in a row, and the emotions will be high with the return of one of the greatest shooters the game has seen.
Steve Kerr has said Thompson will start as soon as he is available. Don’t expect too much from Klay, but he has been shooting the ball well at training from reports.
The Warriors are always tough to beat at home and should get back on the winners table.
