They have some major injury concerns as their guard Spencer Dinwiddie is out for the season with a partial ACL tear. Forward Nicholas Claxton is out with a knee injury, and guard Iman Shumpert is out due to a hamstring injury. Their starting center DeAndre Jordan is also out citing personal reasons.

The Nets might miss DeAndre Jordan, but given that Kevin Durant is back, we might be seeing an explosive offensive display by the Nets.

Golden State Warriors- Injury updates and lineup prediction

The Warriors won their 14th game of the season as they bested Orlando Magic 111-106. The Dubs saw veteran superstars Steph Curry and Draymond Green putting up vintage performances against Magic.

For the next game against the Spurs, the Warriors will be missing some key players due to injuries. Apart from the longtime injuries to Klay Thompson, Alen Samilagic, and Marquese Chriss, the Warriors will also miss their rookie James Wiseman with a wrist injury.

Warriors will welcome their former superstar Kevin Durant to the Oracle for the first time after his trade. They will hope to contain the explosive Nets’ offense.

Predictions

The Golden State Warriors are lacking a genuine center for their upcoming game. They face an attacking juggernaut in the Nets who had torn them apart in the season opener.

Given the dearth of quality defenders on both sides, it will be a very high-scoring game where the Nets will prevail as the winners.
