Both the Portland Trail Blazers and the Golden State Warriors are playing their second game in a back-to-back tonight.

There are just two Warriors players on the injury report: Gary Payton II and Draymond Green. Gary Payton II is out with a right calf strain, and Draymond Green is suspended indefinitely. Chris Paul, Andrew Wiggins, Steph Curry, and Klay Thompson will all be available the second night of a back-to-back.

Ibou Badji, Justin Minaya, Rayan Rupert, and Robert Williams III are the four players with injuries listed on the Portland Trail Blazers’ injury report. Ibou Badji is out due to a G League two-way, Justin Minaya is out due to a G League two-way, Rayan Rupert is out because of a G League assignment, and Robert Williams III is out because of a right knee ligament tear.

This time around, both teams will be relatively close to full strength and it’ll be a good test for the Warriors, who are claiming to have new energy after a spirited team meeting. Although Portland has a losing record, the Warriors can’t take them lightly. The last time these two teams faced off was an extremely close game, and the Trail Blazers were very shorthanded.
