What happened: Golden State is 8-3 through 11 games in 2026-27 and has won eight in a row. The latest was a 138-87 rout of the New Orleans Pelicans on Nov. 9. Gui Santos has been part of the rotation, averaging 6.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists through seven games.
Why it matters: The streak has moved the Warriors to the No. 4 seed. Their bench production has helped carry them while the roster stays in flux.
By the numbers: Santos: 6.6 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 1.1 APG in 2026-27 through 7 games. Warriors: 8-3 through 11 games, W8 streak, No. 4 seed.
What to watch: Santos is listed available on the injury report with left knee tendinitis, so his minutes are worth tracking as the streak continues.
