Jordan Poole is available for Game 3.

On Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors are hosting the Sacramento Kings at the Chase Center for Game 3 of their first-round playoff series.

Poole averaged a productive 20.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per contest while shooting 43.0% from the field during the regular season.

The former Michigan star has played in all 84 games this season (including Games 1 and 2), so his streak of availability will continue. 

So far, Poole has struggled in the series and has just 21 points on 5/17 shooting in the first two games combined. 

The Warriors are also in an 0-2 hole after losing Games 1 and 2 in Sacramento, so they will need a victory on Thursday night. 

They finished the season as the sixth seed in the Western Conference and had a 44-38 record. 

On the road, the Warriors have been one of the worst teams in the league, but at home, they have gone 33-8 in the 41 games they have hosted at the Chase Center in San Francisco. 

As for the Kings, they have been one of the best surprises of the 2022-23 season. 

They ended a 16-year playoff drought and finished as the third seed in the west with a 48-34 record. 

The winner of the series will play either the Los Angeles Lakers or Memphis Grizzlies in the second round.
