Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton said he’ll start his usual five: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Brandon Rush, Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut on Friday afternoon against the Cavaliers — meaning Rush will get the first defensive assignment agaisnt LeBron James.
During the 2015 NBA Finals, that role was saved for Andre Iguodala, who will come off the bench Friday, but log the most minutes against James. Thompson and Green will also gets chances against James as the Warriors plan to throw multiple bodies as the All-Star forward.
