MIAMI -- The Golden State Warriors are resting Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Otto Porter Jr. on Wednesday against the Miami Heat, the second night of a back-to-back.
The move isn't necessarily out of character for the Warriors -- they've been resting Thompson and Porter on one end of back-to-back games all season long. But the decision to rest this trio is more notable because the Warriors are without Stephen Curry and currently find themselves on a three-game losing streak.
Two of those losses, to the San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic, were games Golden State not only knew it could win without Curry, but needed to win.
