Golden State has a golden opportunity to win its eighth straight

The Golden State Warriors (7-3) will attempt to win their eighth straight game on Monday against a short-handed New Orleans Pelicans team.

Starters Trey Murphy III (knee), Zion Williamson (rest) and Yves Missi (knee) have been ruled out. Murphy and Williamson played on Sunday, so they are getting the typical veteran rest on the back end of a back-to-back. Missi has missed the last eight games for the Pels (4-6).

The Warriors will be without Will Richard indefinitely due to a UCL injury. Gary Payton II (knee) is questionable, while Gui Santos (knee) is probable.

Warriors Have Two Streaks on the Line

The last time the Warriors won eight in a row was a nine-game winning streak between January and Februrary 2022.

But that's not the only streak they have on the line.

The Warriors will be going for their first 6-0 homestand since May 2021.

That season started in December, which pushed the regular-season schedule into May. Stephen Curry had a nuclear April and May to get the Warriors into the play-in tournament as the eighth seed, but they lost both play-in games to miss the playoffs.

The common thread is a nuclear Curry stretch.

In the four games Curry has played on this homestand, he's averaging 33.8 points per game on 51.2 percent from the field and 49.0 percent from three.
