Getty Jonathan Kuminga goes up for a shot in a game against the Chicago Bulls.
The Golden State Warriors are four wins from making their 6th excursion to the NBA Finals in the last eight seasons, with one beast barricade in the way — Luka Doncic.

Heroes 'Special case' Could Contain Doncic
As The Athletic's Anthony Slater noticed, the Warriors have had some achievement involving wing Andrew Wiggins as an essential protector for Doncic during the normal season.
"Dončić had some accomplishment against Wiggins," Slater noted. "He made 47% of his shots. Yet, Wiggins made nearly everything in some measure moderately troublesome and caused a couple of turnovers."
Yet, Slater proposed that the Warriors could approach one more athletic wing to take on Doncic for extends — freshman Jonathan Kuminga. The insider considered him a "trump card" for the Warriors to monitor the Mavericks star for explicit stretches.
"Kuminga is a trump card choice on Dončić for brief stretches," Slater composed, adding, "Kuminga is long, fast and forceful. He has a few actual apparatuses that trouble Dončić a piece. But on the other hand he's over-forceful and foul-inclined. The Warriors should stay away from that matchup assuming they're in the reward or attempting to keep away from it."
I truly do anticipate that the Warriors should involve Jonathan Kuminga for little stretches on Luka Doncic. Conceivably from the get-go in quarters before they close to reward in light of the fact that Kuminga is forceful and Luka is a foul magnet. They did it in three of the four ordinary season matchups.

Kuminga is falling off an all over elimination round series against the Grizzlies. While he moved into the beginning arrangement after wounds to Gary Payton II and Andre Iguodala, Kuminga returned out when Grizzlies moved Steven Adams into the beginning setup. In Game 6, Kuminga remained on the seat while the Warriors countered Adams with veteran enormous man Kevon Looney, who had a profession high 22 bounce back remembering 11 for the hostile end.
The Warriors could have more choices to use against Doncic, with Iguodala working his direction back from a neck injury and possibly returning this series.
