After a protracted battle to sign this incredible star, the Golden State Warriors have finally sealed this historic contract.
Nikola Jokic’s game-winning 35-foot three-pointer gave the reigning champions the victory, but the Golden State Warriors suffered a heartbreaking defeat. In response, they triumphed at Chase Center over the Detroit Pistons, 113-109.
The Warriors are currently one game below.500 and the 10th seed in the Western Conference (17–18). The Warriors are hoping to continue their winning run ahead of their home game against the 14-21 Toronto Raptors, having won six of their previous ten.

Toronto Raptors versus. Golden State Warriors: anticipated starting lineups and depth chart on January 7, 2024
Gary Payton, Chris Paul and Draymond Green will not play for the Warriors today., thus they will continue with their customary go-to small-ball.
Since Jonathan Kuminga is questionable, it’s possible that he will suit up to counter the Raptors’ size, which the Warriors desperately need. Paul is replaced in the starting lineup by Andrew Wiggins. Kevon Looney will not be starting at center for Trayce Jackson-Davis.
As usual, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson will get started. Thompson will return to play shooting guard after playing at the three with Paul in the lineup.
