After a massive win against the New York Knicks on Tuesday night, the Golden State Warriors face off against the other team in town, the Brooklyn Nets.

Winning against the 21-40 Brooklyn Nets would be huge for Golden State, putting them only 2.5 games back from the 5th seed in the Western Conference.

The Golden State Warriors have two players listed on their injury report: Jonathan Kuminga and Gary Payton II.

Jonathan Kuminga is out with a right ankle sprain, but the team is hoping for a return soon

Gary Payton II is probable with a nasal bone fracture as he wears a face mask.

The Brooklyn Nets have three players listed on their injury report: Nic Claxton, Noah Clowney, and De'Anthony Melton.

Nic Claxton is available with a nasal fracture, Noah Clowney is out with a left ankle sprain, and De'Anthony Melton is out with a left knee ACL tear.

Both the Warriors and Nets have a relatively clean injury report, which is rare for the month of March.

Nets say that Noah Clowney is OUT for tomorrow's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle sprain.

Other than De'Anthony Melton (left ACL tear) who's out for the rest of the season, Brooklyn's injury report is clean.

The Brooklyn Nets currently have a 1-0 regular season series lead against the Warriors, winning their previous matchup on November 25. One would have to imagine that the Golden State Warriors remember that and want to avoid getting swept against the Nets.

The Golden State Warriors face off against the Brooklyn Nets at 7:30 p.m. EST.
