Curry and Green were initially both listed as questionable on the NBA injury report. Green is battling lower back soreness, while Curry is dealing with a right ankle sprain.

However, Curry did say he's planning to play while speaking to reporters on Friday. And prior to tip-off, head coach Steve Kerr confirmed that he expects both players to suit up against the Lakers.

Both Curry and Green missed Golden State's most recent game, a 109-99 road loss against the Dallas Mavericks, so their return is huge in a bid to help the Warriors jump back into the win column.
