Take this for data: Heading into tonight’s game against the Utah Jazz, the Golden State Warriors had Draymond Green on the floor for 1,458 possessions — which is less than half of the number of possessions Steph Curry has been on the floor this season (3,281). You have the suspensions to thank (or curse) for that.
In those 1.458 possessions — with garbage time eliminated from the equation — the Warriors have held opponents to 114.9 points per 100 possessions, which would rank 10th in the league, per Cleaning The Glass. Zeroing in on half-court possessions with Green on the floor, the Warriors hold opponents to 97.
