Health continues to be the key factor in the Warriors starting lineup. Stephen Curry carried the way most nights this season as the starting point guard, but Jordan Poole also stepped into a bigger role given the absence of Klay Thompson. With Thompson back, the usual Splash Brothers lineup is starting when healthy. That has left Andrew Wiggins at small forward and Draymond Green at the four. Kevon Looney started a bulk of the games at center this year, as James Wiseman looks to get healthy. The Warriors starting lineup continues to be in flux with injuries and you can find confirmed and projected lineups here.

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have both missed time this season and the same goes for Draymond Green. We have seen a number of changes and a lot of youth stepping up for the Warriors this season. Jonathan Kuminga and Jordan Poole both saw starts this season.
Heading into the postseason, if the Warriors are fully healthy, Poole shifts back to the bench to become the sixth man. The frontcourt depth is a little thin with no Wiseman this year and not many bigs that can handle opposing centers. That will be an issue they face in the West.
