The Golden State Warriors are coming off a nightmare five-game road swing that featured five consecutive losses. Through six road games to start the season, the Warriors still haven’t recorded a win outside of San Francisco’s Chase Center.
Following the Warriors’ rough patch on the road, the defending champions have fallen in Rookie Wire’s latest set of power rankings. After starting the season with the top spot, the Warriors fell to No. 7 in week two. In the newest edition of power rankings, Golden State took another step back. This week Cody Taylor of Rookie Wire penciled the Warriors in at No. 10 on the list.

Golden State has lost five straight games, which were all on the road. They are the first defending champion to lose their first six road games in a season. Steve Kerr & Co. are looking at all of their options to get things turned around and that includes a promotion for Jonathan Kuminga into the rotation. We’ll see if that helps them.
The Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks rounded out the top three spots on Rookie Wire’s power rankings. To see the complete list of teams, click over to Rookie Wire here.
On Monday, the Warriors snapped their losing streak with a much-needed comeback win at home over the Sacramento Kings. Steph Curry paced the team with a season-high 47 points to get the Warriors back in the win column.
The Warriors will now get three days off before hosting the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers at Chase Center on Friday.
