Kent Bazemore (protocols) ruled out for Warriors Friday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Kent Bazemore (health and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

Kelly Oubre should slide back into the starting lineup with Bazemore unavailable and there will be more minutes available for Jordan Poole off the bench. Damion Lee is also out due to the health and safety protocols and is expected to miss the next 10-14 days.

Poole has a salary of $4,500 on Friday's seven-game slate and he's scored at least 29 FanDuel points twice in the past four contests. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Warriors play at the second-highest pace out of the 14 teams playing Friday but the Nuggets play at the slowest.
