Draymond Green injury status vs. Pelicans
Given Draymond Green is questionable on the injury report after missing Sunday's game against the Nuggets, there's a chance he'll suit up for Tuesday's matchup. Horford, who played nearly 30 minutes in Sunday's win, could most likely sit out. Green and Horford are fixtures on the injury report these days, but we could be witnessing coach Steve Kerr stagger his aging bigs, both over 35, amid the Warriors' extended injury list.
Perhaps Green is inspired by Kendrick Perkins' recent criticism, which leads to a return against the Pelicans. Green hasn't played since the Warriors' 121-110 loss to the Boston Celtics. Still, when it comes to the question of whether Warriors' Draymond Green will play tonight vs. the Pelicans, the answer is maybe.
Al Horford injury status vs. Pelicans
In a nine-point upset win against the Nuggets, Warriors veteran Al Horford turned back the clock with his 22-point performance. He finished 8-for-11 from the floor, including 6-for-7 from deep, with seven assists, three steals, and two blocks in his most impressive performance of the season.
Horford doesn't play in back-to-backs, meaning if the Warriors were to play him Tuesday, he'll sit for Wednesday's matchup against the Nuggets, which is another reason why he'll probably miss Tuesday's game. When it comes to the question of whether Al Horford is playing tonight vs. the Pelicans, the answer is likely no.
