Golden State took the first matchup in a 129-118 victory where guard Stephen Curry made eight three pointers and scored 30 points.

Of course, the big story line tonight is Washington guard Jordan Poole getting another shot at revenge against his former team.

But an interesting tidbit this time around is that Warriors forward Draymond Green will play tonight after missing the first game between the two teams.

We all remember when Green punched Poole in practice a couple years back.

Injuries are really starting to grab a hold of this already extremely thin Washington roster.

Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly is already ruled out for the game tonight with a pelvis injury and guard Landry Shamet plus forwards Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert are in danger of missing the game also.

This is going to put strain on the roster and put guys in positions they aren't used to being in.

If Coulibaly and Avdija are both out does interim head coach Brian Keefe put Poole back into the starting lineup even in spite of his recent success coming off the bench?

Could Washington guard Johnny Davis even get the start?

It will be interesting to see how Keefe uses the rotations and it will certainly put to test his ability to put a cohesive lineup on the floor.

Because of the injuries Golden State should have no trouble winning this game and cover the -11.5-point spread.
