Steph Curry is back from an absence of more than two months, which means anything is possible for a Warriors team that is locked into the 10th seed in the Western Conference.

Golden State must win two play-in tournament games to advance to the playoffs, and the franchise has reason to be optimistic after Curry scored 29 points in 26 minutes Sunday against Houston and 17 points in 25 minutes Tuesday against Sacramento.

It’s not just Curry who needs to thrive to give the Warriors a shot against the Clippers, Blazers, and Suns in the play-in tournament. With Al Horford expected to return from injury and Kristaps Porzingis providing the Warriors with a new wrinkle at the center position, coach Steve Kerr can turn to other veteran players when Curry is off the floor.

The Standard’s Danny Emerman joined “Section 415” to preview the play-in tournament and evaluate how the Warriors can forge a path to a first-round playoff matchup against Oklahoma City.
