Warriors expect Zaza Pachulia, David West to play vs. Portland

Center Zaza Pachulia and power forward David West are expected to play Saturday night against the Trail Blazers, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said.

Pachulia, who has missed the past four games with a right wrist bruise, will reclaim his spot in the starting lineup.

Though not much of an offensive threat, he excels at the subtleties of Kerr’s system: reading the defense, setting screens, finding the open man and attacking the glass.
