As has often been the case in recent seasons, Golden State is enjoying excellent continuity in 2016-17, trotting out starters Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in all 25 games. Meanwhile, bigs Draymond Green and Zaza Pachulia have made 24 and 23 starts, respectively.
Golden State (21-4) will need to make one tweak to its first string Tuesday, however, since Pachulia will sit out the game at New Orleans due to a right wrist contusion. Warriors third-year head coach Steve Kerr said in pregame that JaVale McGee will take over at the center spot in the lineup.
