That said, Steve Kerr has already stated that Wiggins will be in the starting lineup.

Via Sam Gordon of The San Francisco Chronicle on Friday: "Kerr emphasized the Warriors are operating cautiously with regard to De’Anthony Melton’s strained back because of the back issues that limited Melton to 33 games last season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Kerr also confirmed Andrew Wiggins will start Saturday against the Rockets."
