Zaza Pachulia is ruled out of Game 3 for Golden State
Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia (right heel contusion) has been ruled out of Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.
Pachulia didn't do much in practice on Friday and it's a bigger loss for the city of San Antonio, who were probably looking forward to voicing their displeasure with the Warriors center. Javale McGee and David West should see increased minutes, but this should also force the Warriors to go small early, which benefits Draymond Green.
Our models project McGee for 9.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks over 13.7 minutes in Game 3.
