When the Golden State Warriors attempt to secure a sixth consecutive victory, they will have a thin bench rotation against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night at Chase Center.
While rookies Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody are on assignment in the G League with Santa Cruz, the Warriors will be without two more key pieces off the bench.
Along with Andre Iguodala missing his fifth consecutive game with right knee soreness, Damion Lee has also been ruled out against the Blazers on Friday due to personal reasons.

With four players out, veterans like Otto Porter Jr., Juan Toscano-Anderson and Nemanja Bjelica will play big roles off the bench against the Trail Blazers. With Poole out, Gary Payton II and Chris Chiozza could also see significant minutes in the backcourt behind Steph Curry.
The Warriors are set to meet the Trail Blazers in San Francisco on Friday at 7 p.m. PT.
