The Warriors pulled off a win against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, despite being a bit short-handed. But things are about to get even more intense as they gear up for a showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. OKC has been a powerhouse this season, sitting at a league-best 37-8 record. The Warriors have already split their two games with the Thunder, and this third matchup is shaping up to be a must-watch.
Steph did not play against the Jazz. But he’s listed as probable for the game against the OKC due to bilateral knee injury management.
This season, Steve Kerr had to experiment with lineups more than ever. With injuries piling up, the Warriors cycled through 26 different starting combinations in just 45 games. To put that into perspective, last year, the team used 27. Why not shake things up by bringing in a 24-year-old rookie for the Warriors’ 27th starting lineup of the season when they face OKC?
The Warriors spent weeks debating whether to call up Quinten Post from the G League. His performance with the Santa Cruz Warriors had been impressive. Post’s 3-point shooting was on fire, and he became a real offensive weapon. But what stood out even more was his growth on defense, especially with pick-and-roll situations.
