Golden State was scheduled for 15 back to backs, the most in the league. After swapping 24-year-old Poole for 39-year-old Paul, there\u2019s likely to be some resting going on. Additionally, with Curry (35), Green (33) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/players\/t\/thompkl01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Klay Thompson<\/strong><\/a> (33) entering what could be later stages of their careers, the league was wise to the probable load management. Just three of the second games of those back-to-backs come on national television, many coming against small market teams. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The first ever in-season tournament places the Warriors in West Group C. The group also includes Sacramento, Minnesota, Oklahoma City and San Antonio. The experienced Warriors will face each of these young teams once. Furthermore,\u00a0 hopefully, they will head into a win-or-go-home tournament against the winners of other groups. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The over\/under for this Warriors roster is set at 48.5.
