On Sunday afternoon, the Golden State Warriors are taking on the Sacramento Kings at the Golden 1 Center for Game 7 of their first-round playoff series.   

For the game, they have finalized their injury report and starting lineup.   

The Warriors have ruled out Patrick Baldwin Jr., Andre Iguodala and Ryan Rollins. 

NBA's official injury report 

Their starting lineup has been relayed by Underdog NBA.    

The Warriors have made a significant change by inserting four-time All-Star Draymond Green back into the lineup (he had come off the bench for each of the last three games).  

Via Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Warriors will start Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Draymond Green, Looney on Sunday."

The series has been arguably the most entertaining of the first round, as each team has won two games at home (and one on the road). 

Despite being a young team (and franchise that is in the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2006), the Kings have played well. 

Meanwhile, the Warriors are coming off winning the 2022 NBA Championship, which was their fourth title in the previous eight seasons. 

They have struggled on the road, going just 12-32 in the 44 games they have played away from the Chase Center in San Francisco. 

As for the Kings, they are a solid 25-19 in the 44 games they have hosted on their home floor in Sacramento. 

Whoever wins the game will advance to the second round and face off against the Los Angeles Lakers.

The winner will host Game 1 on Tuesday night.
