ROTATION OUTLOOK
Warriors
The Warriors are expected to go back to center Damian Jones, who in the last two games was replaced by Kevon Looney. Both will play, along with Jordan Bell, who could get minutes at forward.
The team has gotten solid contributions from its bench, with guard Quinn Cook (who in the absence of Curry has been their most reliable scorer) and G Shaun Livingston playing particularly well.
Expect Thompson to be the primary defender on Westbrook, with Durant generally on George.
Thunder
The key player off the bench is point guard Dennis Schroder, who could get the start. He has appeared in all 16 games, with eight starts.
Another player getting significant playing time of late is guard/forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, who scored 23 points in 49 minutes over the last two games.
Westbrook is, as usual, the engine that makes OKC go. He missed games with a right ankle sprain before returning Monday and totaling 29 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists at Sacramento.
