LAST TIME OUT
The Warriors bounced back from a tough loss in Atlanta as they earned a 106-92 road victory against the New York Knicks on Saturday night. Draymond Green and Stephen Curry fueled the squad to their 40th win of the season. With the victory, Golden State improves to 15-2 against the Eastern Conference and 7-0 in their slate alternates. Full Game Recap

GSW: Ognjen Kuzmic is on D-League assignment with the Santa Cruz Warriors. Team Notes

PHI: Michael Carter-Williams (right foot great toe strain), Joel Embiid (right foot injury), Jason Richardson (left knee injury) and
Tony Wroten (right knee injury) are out. Andrei Kirilenko is not with the team. Team Notes

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS
Win the games you’re supposed to win and you’ll make the playoffs. While the start of the postseason is still two months away, every game and every win counts just the same at this time of year. In the standings, a victory against Philadelphia is virtually the same as a triumph over an NBA Finals contender. Other than a few slipups, the Warriors have handled their business against perceived lesser opponents, and they’ll look for that trend to continue on Monday.

BACK IN PHILLY
A player going up against his old team tends to make for some interesting drama. And if Andre Iguodala’s game on Monday is anything like the last time the Dubs played in Philadelphia, you’ll want to make sure you’re in front of a TV for this one. In November of 2013, Iguodala torched his old team, making a career-best seven 3-pointers for his Warriors career-high of 32 points. Marreese Speights, another former Sixer, matched that total last season at Oracle, shooting 12-for-15 from the field. Speights had 23 points in this season’s win over Philadelphia, so he’ll certainly be a player to keep an eye on as the Dubs look to tack on another victory on this road trip.

PHILADELPHIA SCOUTING REPORT

The 76ers are the second-straight bottom-feeding Eastern Conference opponent for the Warriors, but they’re certainly not a team to be overlooked. Philadelphia has won four of its last seven games, and they have a lot of young talent who will be hungry to compete against one of the top teams in the league. Point guard Michael Carter-Williams has shown a flare for the double-double as of late, although he has missed two straight games with a toe injury, and rookie Nerlens Noel is making an impact defensively with at least two blocks in seven of his last eight games. The Sixers, however, do have the worst offense in the league (91.7 points per 100 possessions), and the Warriors will look to take advantage on their final Eastern Conference stop of this four-game road trip.
