With a 3-0 lead, the question for the Warriors seems to be of when, not if they reach the NBA Finals.

That shifts the focus a bit to who Golden State will have available when that time comes. Otto Porter Jr. is at the top of that list. He departed Game 3 with left foot soreness and has been ruled as doubtful for Game 4, with Steve Kerr sounding somewhat optimistic about his status going forward.

Should he sit out the rest of the series, he’d have 10 days rest to recover before the NBA Finals start.

As for Andre Iguodala, it’s a little more nebulous. The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that the Warriors hope Iguodala could make a return in the Finals.

That amounts to a big ole maybe for Iguodala.

As for Gary Payton II, the last update from the Warriors on May 20 was that he was progressing well and would be re-evaluated in a week.
