The Golden State Warriors have raced out to a three-games-to-none lead over the Dallas Mavericks in their NBA Playoff matchup. The Warriors have largely outclassed the Mavs, as they've won the contests by margins of 25 points, nine points and nine points. Equally impressive is the fact that the Dubs have gotten it done without Andre Iguodala and Gary Payton II. Forward Otto Porter Jr. was also forced to leave the Game 3 win over the Mavs with left foot soreness.

While the X-rays on Porter's foot came back negative, the Warriors forward was still listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 4 NBA Playoff matchup. Head coach Steve Kerr spoke to reporters about Porter and revealed his status for the contest against Dallas, as reported by Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

Per Slater, Kerr said that Porter is out for Game 4. The Warriors coach revealed that Porter is still feeling soreness in his foot and that the team is playing it safe with him.

Kerr said that the team will give Porter a couple of days to get ready for a possible Game 5 matchup against the Mavs. The 28-year-old has averaged 5.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and just under a three-pointer per game in 20.7 minutes per contest in the NBA Playoffs.

Look for Porter to return to the lineup for the Dubs if there is a Game 5 against Dallas.
