INJURY REPORT

ROTATION OUTLOOK
Warriors: With Jordan Bell, replacing Draymond Green at PF on Thursday, playing so poorly in his first start this season, Kerr is considering a change. He has alternatives, beginning with Kevon Looney and Alfonzo McKinnie. Andre Iguodala is a possibility if the decision is to start with a small lineup.
The absences of Curry and Livingston will grant significant minutes for Cook. Iguodala will play some at PG, as could rookie Jacob Evans, recalled from Santa Cruz.. . . Durant and Thompson could approach 40 minutes.
Nets: Coach Kenny Atkinson wants his team to play fast and is comfortable going 10-deep, with G Spencer Dinwiddie and G/F Allen Crabbe, a Cal product, being key players off the bench.. . . LeVert, who trained with Durant, is having a breakout season and is showing star potential. The Thompson-LeVert matchup will have considerable impact on the direction of this game, as will the battle between the PGs on both rosters.
