The Warriors (30-28) are set to conclude their two-game road trip with a 4:30 p.m. PT tipoff against Memphis (21-35). Golden State enters the contest looking to rebound after a 113-109 loss Tuesday to the 17-win New Orleans Pelicans.
Green played 32 minutes in the loss, finishing with 11 points, seven rebounds, six assists and two blocks. He shot 5-for-11 from the field and connected on one 3-pointer while serving as a primary facilitator in the half court.
The 35-year-old has appeared in 48 games this season, averaging 8.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 26.6 minutes per contest. He is shooting 41% from the field and 32% from beyond the arc. Green’s availability remains a key factor for a Warriors team hovering near .500 as it pushes for playoff positioning in the Western Conference.
