Another new starting group.

95.7 guys are pushing hard to go small by starting podz and klay once steph returns.

They desperately need wins but bringing back Steph with a questionable ankle seems...well...questionable.

But why? Just go back to the starting lineup that we originally had curry/podz/wiggins/jk/dray or replace podz with moody.

Just weird at this stage in the season that kerr is still making random changes with line ups and rotations. Players aren't being allowed to get comfortable. That first Spurs game should be proof that he doesn't know what to do.

They should go back to:

Steph
Podz
Wiggins
JK
Dray

It's the only lineup that produced a winning streak.

No idea yet, with steph and dray back, we will see one different from the past 4 games. Steiney wants wiggs out at all cost, so pushing for podz and klay.

I agree with the above that steph, wiggs, moody, jk, and dray might be the best line up. But kerr has given too many minutes to klay, podz, and to a lesser degree saric. So much so, that he's been willing to sacrifice wins for it.

I could see kerr starting.

Steph, podz, klay, jk, and dray vs the lakers.

Draymond and Steph probably will not play.
LeBron, Davis, Reddish, Vanderbilt, Wood, Vincent and Caslteton probably won’t play.

LeBron and Davis both played 40 minutes 2 days ago against the Kings.
If Davis and LeBron are out the game may come down to an epic battle between Saric and Jaxson Hayes.

As long as Moody isn't playing things will be swell.

TJD actually looked good against LeBron and AD. I hope he gets a chance to go against them tonight.

20 minute old injury report

The Warriors have listed Steph Curry and Draymond Green as questionable and no one else is on the injury report.

As for the Lakers, they will be without Jalen Hood-Schifino, Colin Castleton, Cam Reddish, Jarred Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent and Christian Wood.

LeBron James is questionable, while Anthony Davis is probable.

Kerr should consider starting moody over podz.
