After eliminating the Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets and the Memphis Grizzlies in the first two rounds of the postseason, the Golden State Warriors are one of just four teams remaining in the NBA playoffs.
Behind the experience and firepower of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors have turned into a favorite for the NBA Finals. With the Phoenix Suns and Grizzlies eliminated, the Warriors are the highest remaining seed in the Western Conference.
Although they need just four wins over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals to punch a ticket to the NBA Finals, FiveThirtyEight’s NBA Finals prediction module doesn’t give the Warriors much of a chance.
