Despite playing some very uneven basketball so far this season, the Golden State Warriors may be starting to surge, as they have won five games in a row.
One reason they have struggled is injuries, as Stephen Curry has played in just 38 of their 64 games.
But as they prepare to visit Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, they will likely get Curry back for that contest, as well as veteran wing Andre Iguodala.

Andrew Wiggins remains out and Patrick Baldwin Jr. is questionable

Curry has missed about a month with a lower leg injury, and he previously missed time in December and early January with a shoulder injury.
But when he has been available, he has been his usual lethal self.
After posting subpar shooting percentages last season, he is at 29.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game while hitting 49.5 percent overall and 42.7 percent from 3-point range.
Just a few weeks ago, Golden State was firmly in play-in tournament territory, but it is now in fifth place in the Western Conference and just one game behind the fourth-place Phoenix Suns.
Curry and company will host Kevin Durant and the Suns on March 13, which will give them a great opportunity to perhaps move up into fourth place.
Golden State has also been without Andrew Wiggins, who has been out due to a personal matter.
Wiggins, who was an All-Star starter last season, is integral to their performance because of his ability to score, hit 3-pointers and defend at a high level.
If the Warriors get healthy and hot the rest of the way, they have to be considered serious championship contenders regardless of which seed they finish with.
