1 JaVale McGee C

McGee will shift back to a bench role for Game 4 against the Pelicans on Sunday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

The Warriors tried to go big in Game 3 against the Pelicans, but ended up suffering their first loss of the series. As a result, coach Steve Kerr will go back to a smaller lineup that features Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green in the frontcourt Sunday. That sends McGee to a bench role and considering he's barely seen the floor the last three games, he's not a viable DFS target.

McGee is starting at center for Friday's Game 3 against New Orleans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

Coach Steve Kerr is opting to go back to a more traditional lineup with Steph Curry back in the fold, starting McGee at center while moving Nick Young and Andre Iguodala back to the pine. McGee has played just six minutes in the current series, but averaged 8.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.0 block in 16.2 minutes during Round 1 against the Spurs -- a role he could play moving forward.

McGee (quad) generated six points (3-3 FG), four rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes during Golden State's 110-97 win over the Spurs in Game 3 of their Western Conference first-round playoff series.

McGee was listed as questionable coming in before being cleared to play shortly before tip-off. The veteran big man wasn't quite as productive as he'd been during the first two games of the series, but he also played his fewest allotment of minutes and took his fewest amount of shots of the first three contests, as well. The 30-year-old has proven to be the right man to run with the starters at the five thus far, so head coach Steve Kerr is likely to afford him another start in Sunday's potential series-clinching Game 4.

McGee (quad) will play during Thursday's Game 3 against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of The Athletic Bay Area reports.

McGee was originally listed as questionable due to a quad injury, though is apparently feeling good enough to take the floor after testing things out during morning shootaround and pre-game activities. He'll presumably continue to start at center, where he's averaged 12.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assist in 17.5 minutes during Games 1 and 2.

McGee is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 3 matchup against the Spurs.

McGee started the first two games of the Warriors first round playoff series against the Spurs, averaging 12.5 points and 5.5 rebounds over 17.5 minutes. McGee's been extremely efficient thus far, shooting 71.4 percent from the floor. If he is able to go, he'll likely continue to start, however Zaza Pachulia and Kevon Looney could see more run if McGee is unable to go.
