The Golden State Warriors have been winning games despite missing a few key players.
Golden State has won five of its last six games and is expecting reinforcements soon.
The Warriors have been battling injuries over the past few seasons, and it is no different this year.
It just so happens that two of their best players are the ones injured, Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins.
Usually, the Warriors struggle to do anything without Curry.
But they have stayed afloat without their best player, winning six of 10 games.
Golden State should be getting excited about their potential lineup in the coming weeks.
Among the players expected to return on Saturday are Andre Iguodala, and Andrew Wiggins.
Curry is expected to return to play at some point next weekend.
Andre Iguodala returns tomorrow, Steph Curry's targeted return date is next Friday, Andrew Wiggins is practicing & hopefully will return next week, Kuminga, J. Green & Wiseman are being re-evaluated next Wednesday. The Warriors could be back to full strength VERY soon. #dubnation

For a team that has battled injuries and load management all season, they should be happy to be the sixth seed in the West.
Their record is 20-19, but they are only two games out of the fourth seed.
It will be interesting to see what the Warriors’ rotations look like when they are back to full strength.
Jordan Poole has stepped into a starting role over the past few weeks and has thrived.
He is averaging 26.8 points as a starter, compared to only 14.1 points coming off the bench.
While it is likely Poole will return to the bench, he must pick up his scoring average.
Golden State will rely on him to be their sixth man, as they did most of last season.
If the Warriors can get all of their guys back to full strength, they will remain in the championship hunt.
