This Year's Warriors Are Starting To Feel Like 2015-16 Version

This Warriors team is starting to feel like the 73-win team from 2015-16 -- and they don't even have Klay Thompson back yet.

Sure, they're not the same team they were then, but it just feels like this group has the same rhythm that record-setting squad did.

The Warriors look for their fifth-straight win against the Sixers on Wednesday night at home, where they're 9-1 SU (7-2 ATS), and things certainly trend in their favor given the fact that the Sixers continue to be undermanned between injuries, COVID protocols and a high-profile holdout.

Warriors Picking Up Where They Left Off

Obviously, Steph Curry is the one that carries this Warriors team. No one would argue that. He continues to go head-to-head with Kevin Durant for the league lead in scoring, and MVP odds (Curry +200, Durant +500 on FanDuel).

The rest of this group has put the team back to its championship-caliber ways, though. Jordan Poole's 18.4 points per game are by far a career high, while Andrew Wiggins is second on the team in scoring (19.1) and continues to thrive in his role with Golden State.

The Warriors' organization did such a remarkable job putting this team in position to compete with essentially a new supporting cast around Curry, Draymond Green and, eventually, Thompson. They added youth and depth, all while keeping the most important pieces in place.

Watch This Trend

One interesting trend to keep an eye on with this team, though, has been how it performs against the total, going just 6-11 O/U this year, and 4-6 O/U at home. Golden State is the top-scoring team in the NBA at 114.2 points per game, while holding opponents to just 101.1 points a game, going back-and-forth with the Nuggets for tops in the league.

When you can score with anyone all while playing lockdown defense, it's pretty hard to compete with a team like that.

It's also really hard to ever bet against this team.
