With March Madness in the air, the Golden State Warriors will be on the floor to start a back-to-back series with the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.
After Eric Paschall and James Wiseman missed Golden State’s contest due to entering the league’s health and safety protocol, the Warriors rode a shorthanded lineup against the Houston Rockets to a 108-94 victory. In Memphis, the Warriors will feature an even lighter rotation against the Grizzlies.
Following a fall near the sideline in the third quarter against the Rockets, Steph Curry will be sidelined against the Rockets due to a tailbone contusion. With the seven-time All-Star out, Steve Kerr will turn to second-year guard Jordan Poole.
Since returning to the Warriors from the G League bubble in Orlando, Poole is averaging 19 points on 54% from the field with 2.2 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per contest.
Before Golden State begins a two-game run against the Grizzlies, here are all the details for Friday’s contest.
