The Golden State Warriors received some delightful news ahead of their first-round NBA Playoffs series with the Denver Nuggets as superstar guard Stephen Curry is expected to return after a 12-game absence due to a foot injury. This couldn't be a better time for Steph to come back as the Dubs look to make a run all the way to the Finals.

Of course, he is one of the most clutch postseason players ever and teammate Andrew Wiggins knows just that. He can't wait to see him “dominate” starting on Saturday.

The Warriors sharpshooter could be on a minutes restriction in Game 1, but it won't be long until he's playing 38-40 minutes per contest again. In 112 playoff appearances, Steph is averaging 26.5 points, 6.3 assists, and 5.4 rebounds while shooting over 40% from deep. Nothing short of outstanding.

Golden State notched five wins in a row to end the season, but they did only go 6-6 sans Curry. He's truly the backbone of their offense and with Klay Thompson playing his best basketball at the moment, things are looking good for the Warriors Klay put up 30+ points in his last three games.

The Dubs won't have it easy though against reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, who is capable of torching anyone. It will take a collective effort on both ends of the floor to stop the Serb.
