Zaza Pachulia is participating in Warriors' NBA Finals practices
Golden State Warriors center Zaza Pachulia has practiced with the team over the last three days and appears to be on track to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
The Warriors practiced on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and after taking Sunday off they should be back at it to start the week. Assuming Pachulia doesn't suffer any setbacks during these practices, expect him to be ready to return as the starter. Pachulia has the tall task of defending the rim and he will be an important check to Tristan Thompson on the boards.
Our models project Pachulia for 5.9 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 17.1 minutes in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
