The Golden State Warriors host the Boston Celtics on Tuesday and the team is listing shooting guard Klay Thompson and small forward Andre Iguodala as questionable to play.
Thompson is dealing with right knee soreness, while Iguodala is still recovering from an illness. Both players didn't practice on Monday, according to head coach Steve Kerr.

Thompson's MRI on his sore right knee came back clean. The All-Star guard will likely be day-to-day moving forward. He didn't play this past Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers, a game which the Warriors won by a final score of 120-117.
Iguodala returned from a one-game absence due to the illness against the Sixers. The swingman played 25 minutes and finished with six points, four rebounds, four assists and three blocks.
Since the regular season doesn't really matter for the Warriors, they will likely play it safe with both Thompson and Iguodala. The Dubs need both players to be 100 percent for the playoffs if they want to win their third straight championship.
Thompson is averaging 22.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season while shooting 47.0 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from beyond the arc. Iguodala, meanwhile, is putting up 6.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists and shooting 50.0 percent overall and 35.8 percent from the 3-point line.
The Warriors are 44-19 on the season, good for first place in the Western Conference standings.
