After all that, the Warriors are still favored to win their first-round series against the Kings.
It might sound like a tall order. Trailing 2-1, the Dubs will have to win three of the last four games of the series, including at least one on the road. But the Dubs' star power and championship experience have most models and sportsbooks leaning toward Golden State.
The RAPTOR forecast at 538 is the highest on the Warriors after consistently shorting them last spring. Nate Silver's site has the Dubs at 60% to make the conference semifinals, far shorter odds than you'll find at any sportsbook.
