Stephen Curry is one win away from a feat not seen in the NBA since 1950.
The Golden State Warriors hold a seven-game winning streak following a difficult 0-3 start to the season, a comeback reminiscent of the Boston Celtics during Red Auerbach’s inaugural season as coach, according to Field Level Media.
The Warriors are preparing to host the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night in San Francisco, looking to extend that streak to eight games. No NBA team has ever managed to win eight consecutive contests after starting a season 0-3.
The momentum follows a grueling overtime victory against the Orlando Magic on Saturday night, where the Warriors secured a 126-119 win. Curry led the charge with 41 points, marking his second 40-point performance of the season.
At 38 years old, Curry is currently averaging 31.3 points per game, trailing only Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers, who is averaging 40.1 points per game. Warriors coach Steve Kerr noted the physical toll and preparation required for such longevity.
“He’s been blessed with a body that has held up,” Kerr told the media. “But he’s also earned that through his strength training (and) his conditioning. His fitness level is just off the charts. So remarkable at 38 to watch him still do what he does.”
The Pelicans enter the matchup attempting to stabilize a roster dealing with both injury concerns and coaching shifts. New Orleans recently fell 139-123 to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, a loss that highlighted efficiency gaps on both sides of the court.
The Pelicans’ backcourt has relied heavily on Dejounte Murray and Jeremiah Fears. Murray has recorded 13 steals across seven starts, while Fears has emerged as a primary scoring threat, averaging 15.8 points per game and coming off a 25-point performance against the Clippers.
| Player/Team | Metric | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Stephen Curry | Points Per Game | 31.3 |
| Luka Doncic | Points Per Game | 40.1 |
| Jeremiah Fears | Points Per Game | 15.8 |
| Golden State Warriors | Current Win Streak | 7 |
| New Orleans Pelicans | Field Goal % (vs Clippers) | 50.6% |
A secondary narrative for Monday’s game involves Jordan Poole, a former Warriors standout who now finds himself on the New Orleans bench. Poole, who averaged 20.4 points during his fourth season in Golden State, was traded to the Washington Wizards in July 2023 as part of the deal for Chris Paul.
After a career-high 20.5 scoring average in Washington, Poole was moved to the Pelicans in July 2025. His impact in New Orleans has been limited by a combination of coaching changes, roster depth, and a recent injury. According to Field Level Media, Poole has not left the bench in either of the Pelicans’ last two games.
The Warriors now look to capitalize on their momentum before embarking on a five-game road trip that will eventually bring them back to New Orleans next Monday.
