With March Madness in the air, the Golden State Warriors will be on the floor to start a back row with the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.
After Eric Paschall and James Wiseman lost the Golden State tournament due to entering the league’s health and safety protocol, the Warriors rode a short line-up against the Houston Rockets to a 108-94 victory. In Memphis, the Warriors feature an even lighter rotation against the Grizzlies.
After falling close to the side in the third quarter against the Rockets, Steph Curry will be sidelined against the Rockets due to tail pollution. With the seven-time All-Star out, Steve Kerr turns into second-year guard Jordan Poole.
Since returning to the Warriors from the G League bubble in Orlando, Poole has averaged 19 points at 54% off the field with 2.2 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 22.5 minutes per contest.
Before Golden State start running two games against the Grizzlies, here are all the details for Friday’s tournament.
