Booker (23.3) is the leading scorer, while Ayton averages a double-double (17 points, 11.3 boards).
The model also has considered that Golden State (26-6) has Stephen Curry, and it has continued to win despite being shorthanded with Andrew Wiggins (protocol) and Jordan Poole (protocols) both out. Curry scored 46 points on Thursday night in a victory against Memphis, hitting eight three-pointers. Gary Payton Jr. had 22 points and hit a key three late in the fourth, and Draymond Green had nine assists. Curry leads the Warriors at 27.7 points per game, while Green averages 7.4 assists.
