The Golden State Warriors visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Anthony Davis as well as Draymond Green and Al Horford are also on the injury report, with both players listed as questionable.

Draymond Green injury status vs. Pelicans
Given that Draymond Green is on the injury report after missing Sunday's game against the Nuggets, it's likely he will be suiting up for Tuesday's game. Horford, who played nearly 30 minutes in Sunday's win, could potentially sit out. Green and Horford are a fixture on the injury report these days, but we could also see coach Steve Kerr add some older players over the age of 35 amid the Warriors' extended injury list.
Perhaps Green is inspired by recent criticism of Kendrick Perkins, leading to the comeback against the Pelicans. Green has not played since the Warriors' 121-110 loss to the Boston Celtics. Still, when it comes to the question of whether the Warriors' Draymond Green will play tonight against the Pelicans, the answer is probably.
al horford injury status vs pelicans
In a nine-point upset win against the Nuggets, Warriors veteran Al Horford turned the tables with his 22-point performance. He finished with his most impressive performance of the season, with seven assists, three steals and two blocks, including 8-for-11 from the floor, 6-for-7 from deep.
Horford has not played in back-to-backs, meaning if the Warriors were to play him on Tuesday, he would sit for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, which is another reason he will probably miss Tuesday's game. When it comes to the question of whether Al Horford is playing tonight against the Pelicans, the answer is probably no.
