Warriors' Festus Ezeli, James Michael McAdoo out Saturday
Golden State Warriors center Festus Ezeli (knee) and power forward James Michael McAdoo (toe) are out against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.
A healthy Andrew Bogut makes the loss of Ezeli sting a little less. The Warriors will likely go small against the Thunder, which slightly helps Andre Iguodala.
Ezeli doesn't get much playing time, only 17.8 minutes per game, but he has been effective when on the court. His 4.3 nERD ranks 38th, and he's averaging 7.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game while posting a 56.7 True Shooting Percentage. McAdoo plays even less -- just 5.9 minutes per game -- and owns a 0.4 nERD, which ranks 69th. He's averaging 2.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game while posting a 54.9 True Shooting Percentage in 25 games played.
