The Dubs came away with a 27-point victory in Game 2 with this lineup, so why mess with a good thing? Steve Kerr will once again elect to bring Kevon Looney off the bench, and if Looney is feeling better, he may see more than the 12 minutes he logged Thursday.

Green also added two assists and a rebound, and he hit 3-of-6 shots from beyond the arc. He got the start over Kevon Looney, who finished with six points and eight boards in 12 minutes. Itâ??s unclear if Thursdayâ??s lineup change was a calculated attempt to space out Los Angeles or simply the result of Looney feeling under the weather. Weâ??ll keep a close eye on the Warriorsâ?? lineup ahead of Saturdayâ??s tip-off, as Green could be in line for another start after this strong performance.

Kevon Looney will come off the bench after grabbing at least 20 rebounds in four of his last six outings. Rather than try to compete with the Lakers' size, the Dubs will lean into a small-ball lineup and try to push the tempo and rain down threes in Game 2. Green averaged just 14 minutes per game in the regular season and started only one contest. It wouldn't be surprising if he played limited minutes, despite garnering the start.

Green injured his wrist during the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Wizards, but his absence from the injury report is a good sign for the veteran forward. He may see a slight increase on the 16 minutes he played Monday due to Andrew Wiggins (personal) being out, but Green hasn't been consistent enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.
