The Golden State Warriors have cooled off slightly since their scorching early season form and are entering Saturday's game against the Lakers on a two-game losing streak.
The Warriors dropped a tight one at home to the New York Knicks on Thursday, but still are 8-2 in their past 10 games overall. They have fallen 3.5 games back of the leading Phoenix Suns in the Conference.

These two teams have played just once this season so far – on opening night – and the Warriors came away with the victory behind a triple-double from their superstar Steph Curry, who had 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. It was his eighth career triple-double in the 121-114 win.
The Warriors and Lakers play each other two more times in the regular season, on Mar. 5 and Apr. 7.
Is Steph Curry playing tonight vs. Lakers?
Curry will play and start for the Warriors against the Lakers.
Curry's 35 points against the Knicks on Thursday were wasted as the Warriors dropped a rare game at home. While the rest of the team looked lethargic playing on the second night of a back-to-back, Curry was a one-man offense, especially in the second quarter.
He finished with 17 points in the quarter while shooting 4-of-10 from the field, including 3-of-8 from distance and 6-of-6 from the line.
Curry is averaging 25.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists for the Warriors this season.
