OAKLAND -- Though the Warriors on Sunday will begin a stretch in which they play three games in four nights and five in eight, coach Steve Kerr said there are no plans to rest anyone.
He did, however, leave open the possibility of sitting a couple veterans.
"The only guys who I would consider resting over the next week, barring injury, would be Shaun (Livingston) and Andre (Iguodala)," Kerr said Sunday afternoon, prior to tipoff against Memphis at Oracle Arena. "And that's routine, because of the wear and tear, the age and the constant monitoring we're doing with those guys.
"But the schedule is fine. I'm not planning on resting anybody in San Antonio."
After facing the Grizzlies, the Warriors on Monday fly to Houston, where on Tuesday night they will play the Rockets. The following night, they face the Spurs in a game of particular significance.
Though the Warriors are assured of having the homecourt advantage should they make it to the NBA Finals, they have yet to reach that status in the Western Conference. The Spurs were two games back prior to the Warriors-Grizzlies game.

After returning home from San Antonio, the Warriors face the Rockets next Friday night and the Washington Wizards at home on April 2.
All five teams during this stretch are either in the playoffs and likely to be in. The Warriors entered Sunday with a combined 2-6 record against those teams.
