    Anthony Slater: Warriors being healthy means someone will be odd man out

    For the first time since November, the Golden State Warriors are at full strength. That's both a boon, and also leaves Golden State with some major lineup questions down the stretch.

    Anthony Slater joined the Morning Roast Wednesday morning and discussed who could be the odd man out.

    "How about just the rotation tonight? This is the first time since November in Sacramento they have all 14 players available," Slater said. "[Kerr's] already said like 11 is a stretch for him to go to. So let's say 10 essentially. Like find the four Warriors that don't play tonight.

    I think you're gonna go Gui Santos is not in the rotation, Quinones is not in the rotation. It gets tough after that. You're talking about 12 or 10. I mean, to me, who we're really talking about on the back end, is Saric heading towards DNPs? He said Moody is going to be in the rotation. And then Payton II and Looney. And I mean those are like all four guys he trusts, guys who've been in closing playoff lineups during the championship run."

    He pointed out that Looney has the second-longest streak of consecutive games played, currently at 288-straight games, including the postseason. Could that conclude?

    "Like is Saric now a DNP? Like that's one of my questions about Looney. Looney has this incredible games played streak, second in the league behind Mikael Bridges," Slater said. "DNP would end that. Like that possibly heading toward an end? Is it absurd of me to say like Payton II might be on the edge right now. I mean, he can be so good, but like you got to find somebody."
