OAKLAND — The Warriors continue to show they mostly prioritize maintaining a healthy roster to close out the season.

The Warriors (49-14) will sit out veteran forward David West during Tuesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets (20-44) because of a right cyst. Warriors rookie forward Jordan Bell will be available after nursing a low back strain in recent days.

Meanwhile, Warriors center JaVale McGee will start at center for the sixth consecutive game over veteran Zaza Pachulia. Though Warriors coach Steve Kerr said “nothing is set in stone at that position,” he said that “JaVale is doing a good job” during the team’s five-game winning streak since the NBA All-Star break.
