Game Notes: (to be updated as tipoff nears)
- CSN Bay Area broadcast announced that Stan Van Gundy has moved Smith to the “4” and decided to start Singler.
- “Jennings looks to be all good to play tomorrow against Golden State. Went through practice with no restrictions” — Vincent Goodwill of the Detroit Free Press
- “Steve Kerr said Leandro Barbosa (knee) is probable for today’s game vs. Detroit.” — Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle
- “Leandro Barbosa said he was out (on Friday at Charlotte) due to his hamstring related to the knee injury.” — Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group
- “Golden State entered the season as a fashionable pick among experts to make a run at an NBA title, and the Warriors (13-2) certainly look capable so far. They trail only league-leading Memphis’ 14-2 record, and are one of the highest-scoring teams with a 107.3 average.” — Nicolino DiBenedetto of STATS LLC
- “Golden State has won eight in a row – its longest since a 10-game run from Dec. 21-Jan. 7 – and with a victory Sunday it will have won every game on a road trip of at least five games in length for the first time since Oct. 27-Nov. 4, 1978.” — DiBenedetto
- “Stan Van Gundy on if he wonders what if about Warriors job: ‘No.'” — Leung
- “Stan Van Gundy said he doesn’t play what-if game regarding taking Detroit job over the Warriors. Says fave squad is still ’75 Warriors.” — Simmons
- “Warriors forward Draymond Green said he’ll spend some time tonight with his second family — the Dumars.” — Simmons
- “Draymond Green smiled when asked if he’s pressured to play in Michigan: ‘There may be pressure on Steph Curry to go back to Charlotte in a couple years, but not me to come back home (to Detroit)…I ain’t LeBron James. Nobody wants me back here. I don’t hear that.” — Leung (full story)
- “Pistons assistant coach Tim Hardaway was selected 14th overall by Golden State in the 1989 NBA Draft… A three-time All-Star with the Warriors, Hardaway spent six seasons with Golden State (1989-96), averaging 19.2 points, 9.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 422 games (387 starts)… Hardaway was part of the “Run TMC” era that included Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond.” — Warriors pregame notes
- “The Warriors have won six-straight over the Pistons and are looking to win seven consecutive games over Detroit for the first time since a seven-game win streak from 1975-76.” — Warriors pregame notes
