Sam Gordon of The San Francisco Chronicle wrote (before Sunday’s loss to the Knicks): “Speaking pregame, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said he expects Kristaps Porzingis and De’Anthony Melton — out tonight versus the Knicks on the front end of a back-to-back — to play Monday against the Washington Wizards. Hopeful Draymond Green plays Monday as well, he said.”
