Christmas has finally arrived, dawning the holiday season upon all. While many have plans to spend time with their loved ones, basketball fans have a full day of amazing games lined up ahead of them for the Christmas Day matchups. Some fans may be looking forward to seeing the classic Lakers and Celtics battle. Whereas Bay Area fans are eager to see their Warriors go up against the reigning NBA champions. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are obvious showstoppers, but Andrew Wiggins’ unique skillset stands out in this Warriors side.

But with the recent update on Andrew Wiggins, are the Warriors going to be even more shorthanded?

Will Andrew Wiggins be suiting up for the Warriors?

The Golden State Warriors will be facing off against the Denver Nuggets this Christmas Day. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have been in the zone lately but will that be enough to take down The Joker and Denver? The Warriors are already shorthanded playing without Draymond Green. Green may not be a big factor on offense, but his hustle, energy, and grit play a huge role on the defensive end of the floor. If playing without Draymond Green wasn’t enough; then the news of Andrew Wiggins possibly missing out on the Christmas Day game may cause a bit of panic amongst Dub Nation fanatics. According to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews, “Andrew Wiggins is listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game on Christmas. General illness — which has held him out of the last two games.”

The Golden State Warriors are finally on a roll, winning five games in a row. But now that the Warriors will be facing the Nuggets, the team could use all the help one can get from their players if they hope to continue this win streak.

Andrew Wiggins has not been the most consistent scorer on the Warriors roster this year. But now and then, Wiggins breaks out and scores in bunches. Facing the Denver Nuggets, the Warriors could use that.

Who can the Warriors rely on?

The Golden State Warriors seem as if they have had the wind knocked out of their sails this year. Despite acquiring veteran point guard Chris Paul to run the team’s second unit, Golden State is still struggling. Now, losing Draymond Green for an indefinite amount of time is another blow to the gut. However, there has been a silver lining among all the struggles that the Warriors have been facing this season.

It seems as if Klay Thompson has finally gotten his groove back and is producing big numbers on the floor. Moreover, the team has been leaning more towards their rookies to provide mettle on the court amid their struggles. Players like Brandin Poziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis have been two bright spots for the Warriors lately. Not to mention the additional time given to Jonathan Kuminga has paid off well.

If Wiggins ends up missing the Christmas Day matchup, then you can be sure that head coach Steve Kerr will end up giving his rookies some extra minutes on the floor. So, can the Warriors keep up their series of winning games?
