In response to Stephen Curry's hamstring injury, the Golden State Warriors have adjusted their starting lineup for Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Rookie Quinten Post, who started in Game 2, saw limited action and will be replaced by Trayce Jackson-Davis, who had an impressive outing off the bench in Game 2, scoring 15 points in just 19 minutes. Alongside Jackson-Davis, the Warriors will feature Brandin Podziemski, Buddy Hield, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green in the starting five.

Jackson-Davis' performance marked a significant turnaround, as he had fallen out of the rotation earlier in the season. With an average of 6.6 points and five rebounds this season, a strong showing in Game 3 could solidify his role as a key contributor for the remainder of the playoffs.
