Draymond and Andre are out and Moody and Chiozza are on a G League assignment, so there’s room on the bench for James Wiseman to sit. – 8:53 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
The Warriors are now sending two at Kyrie Irving or Patty Mills when they have the ball. Mills passes to Kessler Edwards, who travels on the first dribble. This is where it begins. – 8:52 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Timeout, Steve Nash: Impressive start for the Nets considering who is not available for them. Brooklyn leads, 11-9, at the 7:36 mark. Whether they can sustain this level remains to be seen, but it’s a promising beginning to the first quarter. #Nets – 8:49 PM

David Hardisty @clutchfans
Mike Breen: “How about the emotion of Andrew Wiggins being named an All-Star? What a wonderful moment for Wiggins, and he’s going to be a starter.”
Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson: *Pure silence* – 8:47 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
More boos for Kyrie Irving, who had Steph Curry in an iso from the same spot he hit the Game 7 winner. He took Curry off the dribble and finished at the basket, and one. Crowd silenced. – 8:46 PM

Rich Hoffman @rich_hofmann
Lot of places to blame for that first half (pretty much anyone but Harris and Green), but Maxey and Curry got cooked by Mitchell and Haliburton.
Korkmaz lost Haliburton off ball for a 3, too. Guard defense isn’t a strength of this team but that was particularly rough. – 8:34 PM

Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Greetings from Chase Center. Last time I was in SF, I learned the country was shutting down upon landing. Nets-Warriors about to tip. No James Harden. What a week for him. Will see if Kyrie Irving can lead BK to a win without him. Updates to come. – 8:34 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Other than Ja Morant, Kyrie Irving is the only other point guard in the NBA who can consistently dribble, attack and finish with the off-hand without going back to the dominant hand. Ja is as good as I’ve seen at that. Crazy skill. – 8:29 PM

Dwain Price @DwainPrice
Carlisle on Kidd: “He’s done a tremendous job. I thought he was a high impact coach in Brooklyn and Milwaukee. But his history here as a player that was drafted here, he’s a Hall of Fame player on a championship team here. They’re a major threat in the West.” – 8:02 PM

Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Steve Nash on Kyrie Irving being a part-time player: “It hasn’t been as strange for our group. It hasn’t been strange at all in some weird way. It actually feels normal because we’ve had so many interruptions and injuries.” – 7:55 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
“Clean of the bad stuff but a strain for sure, there’s stuff on the MRI so he’s feeling something and feeling a strain and like I said it’s been bothering him like he was like ‘eh, it’s nothin,’ now it’s a little more than nothing….”
-Steve Nash on Harden’s hand, Now listed GTD – 7:28 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Steve Nash said James Harden’s right hand has been bothering him for some time and that it flared up yesterday morning. Said Harden will be a game time decision, but at least right now, it doesn’t sound like he’s going to play. – 7:09 PM

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Nash said Harden’s been dealing with some discomfort in the hand for a few days — it felt worse this morning. Nash said Harden got an MRI on the hand that came back clean, but there is some “irritation” in there. – 7:08 PM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Steve Nash said James Harden had been feeling some discomfort in his hand for a while but thought it was fine. The hand flared up this morning and scans revealed he suffered a hand strain.
He’s a game-time decision. – 7:06 PM

Dave Early @DavidEarly
James Harden had an MRI on his hand. It’s clean from serious injury but his hand is strained says Steve Nash. – 7:06 PM

Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Steve Nash said James Harden woke up today with some “irritation” in his right hand. MRI revealed he has a strain Nash said Harden remains a game-time decision. – 7:06 PM

Steve Nash on Harden: “James’ hand has been bothering him for a few days, and he thought it was nothing…This morning he woke up with some irritation.” #Nets – 7:05 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
The Warriors went after Patty Mills in free agency this past summer before he decided on Brooklyn. Steve Kerr: “Seems like our kind of guy. I’m a huge fan. Great player, leader. – 7:00 PM

Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
First James Harden missed a game due to hamstring tightness. Now he’s questionable today against the Warriors with what the team has called a right hand strain. – 6:59 PM

Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Andre Iguodala, initially scheduled to travel with Warriors on Sunday for the Monday-Tuesday b2b in Texas, will now stay in the Bay Area, per Steve Kerr. The thought is he might be a go next Thursday at Chase Center – 6:59 PM

Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Steve Kerr said what the Nets are doing in trying to re-integrate Kyrie Irving is much tougher than bringing Klay Thompson back after such a long time away. Cites lack of continuity, and the unprecedented situation overall as the greatest hurdles. – 6:58 PM

Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Andre Iguodala scrimmaged yesterday and looked good, Steve Kerr said. But he won’t travel with the team for their back-to-back road trip @ Rockets and Spurs. Since he wouldn’t have played in both games, team thought it would be better for him to stay. Kerr expects him back Thurs. – 6:56 PM

Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Andre Iguodala will not travel on this road trip. Warriors optimistic he’ll be ready by next home game. Scrimmaged yesterday and looked good, but team is being cautious with him. – 6:56 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Andre Iguodala won’t travel on this upcoming Houston, San Antonio road trip. Scrimmaged yesterday and felt good, per Kerr, and new plan is to have him return on Thursday at home vs Kings. – 6:55 PM

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Nemanja Bjelica is out tonight for the Warriors. Back spasms. First game he’s missed this season. Forces the Warriors to go even smaller vs Nets. Minutes bump likely for Kuminga, JTA, Payton. – 6:34 PM
