Staggering Steph Curry stat highlights Draymond Green’s impact

Draymond Green is immensely valuable to the success of the Warriors.

Having been without him for 31 games, the Warriors got a healthy Draymond back out on the court for their 126-112 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night at Chase Center.

Not only did Green return to the floor for the Warriors, but it was also Steph Curry's 34th birthday, and he celebrated by dropping a whopping 47 points on the Wizards with Draymond by his side once again.

Draymond only played 20 minutes off the bench, but his limited minutes were instrumental in Steph's massive game.

It’s impossible to understate Draymond’s role in the championship landscape

Some variation of this eye-popping stat has been applied to Steph's individual game and the Warriors' success -- or lack thereof -- without Draymond over the past two-plus months.

This is the Warriors' reality without their All-Star forward.
