Juan Toscano-Anderson likes his and the Warriors' chances whenever Steph Curry is healthy and playing as well as he has of late.
Toscano-Anderson used a great analogy in describing how he feels to have the two-time NBA MVP as a teammate.
"I mean if you get into a street fight and you got Mike Tyson standing on the side of you how you going to feel," Toscano-Anderson told reporters after the Warriors' 123-108 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. "That's the best analogy I can give you. He different man. I know if I get into a pickle, I'm looking for him because he's gonna make something happen more often than not. He's just a magnet, and the defense is just gravitating toward him and it's opening up a lot of things, I get a lot of slips and a lot of open trey balls, just a lot of different things.

"I don't wanna use the word comforting like I go out there intimidated or anything, but it just makes you that much more confident. Like I said, I know how to fight, but if I got Mike Tyson on my side, I'm just gonna have all the confidence in the world because I know Mike Tyson is knocking anybody out with a haymaker. I got Steph Curry on my basketball team, I feel good."
Curry had another in what has become a long string of impressive performances this season, scoring 41 points and dishing out eight assists while shooting 8-18 from 3-point range. One of those triples even left Pelicans star Zion Williamson speechless, as the young star could do nothing more than chuckle coming back down the floor.

Toscano-Anderson continues to prove he is worth much more than a two-way contract to the Warriors, scoring 14 points and grabbing five rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes.
The dominance from Steph, a triple-double from Draymond Green and JTA's continued versatility and contributions all over the court were vital for the Warriors in a game against a Pelicans team trying to claw back up the playoff picture in the Western Conference.
