Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns Injury Report and Game Preview

A four-game winning streak has the Golden State Warriors feeling a lot better about a season that started 0-3, and they will try to make it five on Monday night when the Phoenix Suns visit Chase Center.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. Pacific, and the Warriors are on the second night of a back-to-back after beating the Los Angeles Clippers 124-112 on Sunday.

Golden State is now 4-3, while Phoenix is 1-3 and has lost two straight, though the Suns did not play on Sunday and come in with more rest.

The Warriors had not yet filed their injury report for this game as of the league's noon Eastern update on Monday.

On Sunday's official report, guard Stephen Curry was out with right knee injury management and forward Draymond Green was out with bilateral low back injury management, as both took the front end of the back-to-back off.

ESPN now lists both players as day-to-day for rest, and Field Level Media reported that the Warriors expect to welcome a rested Curry and Green back for this game.

That is a strong sign, but it is not official until the team files its report.

Forward Jimmy Butler III, out after right ACL surgery, and guard Moses Moody, out after left patellar tendon surgery, remain sidelined.

Center Kristaps Porzingis was listed as not with the team on Sunday.

Forward Gui Santos was listed as available on Sunday's final report with left knee tendinitis and played nine minutes, but ESPN now lists him as out, so his status should be checked again once the official report comes out.

Sunday belonged to forward Yaxel Lendeborg, who scored 37 points on 13-of-19 shooting and made six 3-pointers.

The Associated Press noted it was the most points by a Warriors rookie since Curry scored 42 in 2010, and Steve Kerr sees even more coming from him.

Guard De'Anthony Melton started in Curry's spot and scored 21 points while going 6-for-8 from deep, and guard Brandin Podziemski added 17 points, eight rebounds and eight assists.

Kerr told NBC Sports Bay Area what the rookie means to this group.

"It changes everything," Kerr said. "You see on a night like tonight without Steph and we score 124 points, and Yax is the main reason that we're high-powered."

Phoenix listed center Mark Williams as out after left shoulder surgery and forward Drew Timme as out on a G League two-way assignment.

The Suns lost 127-120 at home to the Denver Nuggets on Friday.

Forward Miles Bridges had 24 points and 10 rebounds, forward Dillon Brooks scored 22, and guard Devin Booker scored 20 on 7-of-19 shooting.

Phoenix won the first meeting 131-122 on Oct. 24, when Booker scored 43 and Golden State played without Curry and Green.

Health was a big question before that first game too.

That loss was part of a rough opening week, and if Curry and Green are back this time, the Warriors get their leaders on the floor next to a rookie who is playing with real confidence, and I expect Golden State to push the streak to five.
