ROTATION OUTLOOK

Warriors: Having the same starting lineup for every game has allowed coach Steve Kerr to tinker with his reserves. The versatility is becoming evident, as every player off the bench is capable of playing multiple positions.. . . In addition to F/G Andre Iguodala, expect to see meaningful minutes from F/C Jordan Bell, F/C Jonas Jerebko, F/C Kevon Looney; if Kerr makes a change, it will be at center.. . . Quinn Cook, a DNP-CD in Brooklyn, likely will get some run this time around.

Bulls: Injuries have taken a toll, as Dunn and Markkanen normally would start, with Portis also getting his share of starts. Coach Fred Hoiberg, in the midst of a youth movement, has been starting two small forwards alongside Carter, the rookie big man.. . . Key players off the bench have been SF Jabari Parker, C Cristiano Felicio and PG Ryan Arcidiacono.. . . Stanford product Robin Lopez remains on the roster but has fallen to third-string on the depth chart behind Carter and Felicio.
