As the Golden State Warriors look to advance to the second round with a win on Sunday, it appears that they won't be too shorthanded. Of course, Stephen Curry will still be out but Kevin Durant and Shaun Livingston are both expected to play.
Both Kevin Durant and Shaun Livingston practiced today, expected to play tomorrow.

Both Livingston and Durant sprained their ankles in the fourth quarter of their Game 3 win over the Spurs and although they didn't look particularly serious, they were both pulled from the game for precautionary reasons.
Both of these guys have been a huge part of this series, and they will both need to be at their best if they want to win the series on Sunday.
For Livingston, he played 20 minutes in Game 3 putting up 16 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one steal. With Curry still out with injury, he has played a bigger role off the bench.
For Durant, he has been his typical workman self in this series. Although he struggled from three in the last game only going 1-6, he was still able to put up 26 points and pace the Warriors to the win.
In Game 4, look for the Warriors to really come out aggressive early. They don't want this series to go more than four games so they are well rested for the rest of the playoffs.
