Can Stephen Curry and Co stay undefeated?

The Warriors have not lost a match since acquiring Point God Chris Paul. They have won all games in the preseason and hope to keep their winning streak alive tonight. But the task will not be that easy if Victor Wembanyama suits up for the Spurs. Wemby has put up some incredible performances throughout the preseason. And it is not just what he is doing, it is how he is doing those things that has impressed the NBA world.

In his three preseason appearances, Wemby has dunked on several defenders, blocked multiple shots, nutmegged players, hit an alley-oop running from the three-point line, and hit saucy step-back jumpers. Whenever the 19-year-old steps on the court, he looks like a “Cheat Code” in NBA2K. But so does Stephen Curry with his insane shooting ability.
