Golden State Warriors’ Trayce Jackson-Davis scores against San Antonio Spurs’ Dominick Barlow in the third quarter of an NBA game, Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif. They’ve had home-court advantage throughout the playoffs, won an NBA record 73 games, bottomed out in a lost 15-win season, lost in the play-in round and made a championship run as the 3-seed.
They went on ESPN last week to stake their claim as the best rookie duo in the NBA this year, and they have a point. They’ll get a chance to prove their worth in their first taste of playoff basketball. They’ll have to face the brightened spotlight, the intensified games, the more advanced game plans and scouting.
Podziemski hasn’t played a real playoff game since he was in high school in the Milwaukee area. He doesn’t look at it that way, though. Jackson-Davis in particular projects to be crucial in slowing down Kings center Domantas Sabonis. The Kings and Warriors split their four-game regular season series, but Jackson-Davis didn’t play real minutes in any of them.
Then there’s De’Aaron Fox, whom the Warriors consider the head of Sacramento’s snake. If Gary Payton II remains sidelined with his calf strain, Podziemski could find himself trying to stay in front of Fox at times.Why Warriors are sitting Steph Curry, Draymond Green in Game 82
