Steph Curry joining the Minnesota fans in their light booing of Andrew Wiggins pregame. His second game back here in front of the fans. Wiggins was quiet in February. No 20-point games. Warriors hope sight of his former team jolts him. – 8:09 PM

Anthony Edwards was drafted 467 days ago and has played in 128 NBA games and 4249 minutes in that time.
I don’t think it’s crazy he has tendinitis. – 8:01 PM

Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Steve Kerr said the reason Moody is starting over Poole is for rebounding purposes.
“A lot of the games that Jordan has started we’ve had Otto (Porter Jr.) without a minutes restriction. If Otto was in the starting lineup that would change things from a rebounding perspective.” – 7:11 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Moses Moody will start again tonight. Steve Kerr said it’s to have more size in the starting lineup and his preference to keep Jordan Poole in that sixth man role. He said he should’ve played Poole more in the first half the other night. – 6:35 PM

On the Warriors: With a skid of almost two months, it’s not a ‘rough patch.’ It’s a revealing of weaknesses best illustrated by a number of factors. Can they be fixed? Probably. But not easily. nbcsports.com/bayarea/warrio…6:15 PM

Yesterday at Warriors practice, reporters asked Andrew Wiggins who he was most excited to see of the NBA’s all-time 75 team at All-Star weekend: Kevin Garnett.
“That’s my guy. He was one of my vets. … It was cool to see him face to face for the first time in a long time.” – 4:37 PM

Memphis is only 1 game back from the 2-seed Warriors despite having the 2nd-lowest payroll. They’ve never finished higher than the 4-seed…
Ja Morant. Zach Kleiman… Just two names who should receive individual awards by season’s end.

Ja Morant is averaging 27.6 pts/5.9 reb/6.6 ast per game while shooting 49.8% from the field. He’s putting up those numbers in 33 minutes per game. No one has ever had a season putting up at least 27/5/6 on 50% FG in under 34 min/gm until this yr, both Ja & Giannis are doing it. – 2:18 PM
