The Warriors will go "small" for Monday's game, with Moody replacing rookie Quinten Post in the starting lineup. While the demotion does him no favors, one would expect Post to remain in the rotation. The lineup change also means Green will begin the game at the center position opposite Brook Lopez. The Bucks don't have Giannis Antetokounmpo, which likely factored into Steve Kerr's decision to change the lineup.
Connaughton is back after missing Sunday's win over Philadelphia with a strained left calf. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) out, rotation minutes will be available. Connaughton played 21 and 27 minutes in the two games that preceded Sunday's absence.
Lopez was initially listed as probable due to a right shoulder contusion, but he will be able to suit up. Lopez has seen a few extra shots recently with Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) sidelined for at least the next two weeks.
Young will replace Giannis Antetokounmpo while Irving will take the place of new teammate Anthony Davis
Young continues to manage an Achilles issue, but it isn't expected to keep him out of the lineup. He was announced as the Eastern Conference Player of the Week and was named as the injury replacement for Giannis Antetokounmpo in the All-Star Game on Monday.
