The Golden State Warriors have listed forward Draymond Green as questionable and center Zaza Pachulia as a go for tonight's tilt against the Charlotte Hornets, according to Mark Medina of the San Jose Mercury News.

Patrick McCaw is listed as out with a nose contusion, suffered after DeMarcus Cousins blocked a dunk attempt and followed through, hitting the second-year hybrid guard across the face.

The Warriors were still 5.5-point favorites to win against the Hornets, but the absence of Green might just change that outcome.

Point guard Stephen Curry was seen walking around with a boot on his right ankle, but has ditched the crutches since he was last seen after Monday's post-game. Head coach Steve Kerr noted he plans to switch up his lineup several times over the next two weeks, especially after re-calling Quinn Cook from the G League to serve as a deep reserve point guard, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic.

Kerr said Kevin Durant's usage will ramp up with the absence of Curry, but warned against the excess of isolation basketball with him as one of the primary ball-handlers.

“We don't need KD and Klay to shoot every time,” said Kerr. “The word is ‘now it's time for KD and Klay to step up.' We don't need them to step up by shooting every time, we need them to step up with leadership and calming influences and make sure we're running our stuff really well.”
