Short-handed Warriors chase seventh straight win against Magic

Golden State lost its first three games of the season and has not lost since. The Warriors carry a six-game winning streak into Chase Center against an Orlando side that is 2-6 and has dropped three in a row. That streak is tied with San Antonio's for the longest active run in the league.

The run has come without much of the roster. Jimmy Butler is recovering from right ACL surgery and Moses Moody from left patellar tendon surgery. Kristaps Porzingis announced on Friday that he is stepping away from basketball to prioritize his health. Draymond Green, Gary Payton II and Gui Santos were all listed as questionable on Friday's injury report.

Stephen Curry has carried the load. He scored 29 points with six threes in Thursday's 120-100 win over Miami, a night that also lifted him past Oscar Robertson into 17th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.

Orlando is short-handed too. Paolo Banchero is out with a right high ankle sprain, and Jalen Suggs and Jonathan Isaac are also unavailable. Franz Wagner has become the offense and posted a career-high 15 assists at Phoenix on Thursday. But the Magic gave the ball away 25 times, leading to 36 Suns points, in a 117-104 loss that opened a four-game West Coast trip.

The market prices Golden State as a 70% favorite. With Green's status unsettled and Orlando this depleted, does that number undersell or oversell the Warriors?
