Russell Westbrook / Thabo Sefolosha / Kevin Durant / Jeff Green / Nenad Krstic
VS
Stephen Curry / Monta Ellis / Corey Maggette / Vladimir Radmanovic / Mikki Moore
Matchup
Finally, a favorable front court matchup. Nenad Krstic will return to the lineup tonight, and the front court will have no excuses in the paint against the likes of Maggette, Radman, and Mikki Moore.
Curry and Ellis, however, might present some problems. Both are excellent shooters, and we've had some trouble guarding the 3pt line lately after starting off the season blazing in that regard.
Golden State is one of the worst road teams in the league, hopefully we can end the homestand at 3-2.
Some Numbers
Kevin Durant is now our leading rebounder, at 7 rebounds per game. I think this is the first time at any point he's been averaging more boards a game than Jeff Green in their careers. Dunno if this is a good thing or not.
Golden State, unsurprisingly, leads the league in pace. Hopefully our young guys stick to their game and don't get baited into a high tempo, score fest that favors GS.
A Question
Will the bench bounce back after a horrible effort against Boston?
