Golden State Warriors vs. Toronto Raptors Starting Lineup Today (Dec. 28)

Golden State Warriors starting lineup

The Warriors seem to have finally found a starting lineup that complements each other on the floor. Coach Steve Kerr hasn't tinkered with the starting five and has stuck with the same starter for five consecutive games. There's no need for Kerr to change the lineup, especially when all the starters are healthy.

Steph Curry and Moses Moody have formed a formidable backcourt, while the veteran presence of Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler has strengthened the team's frontcourt, which is anchored by Quinten Post from the center position.

Immanuel Quickley and Ochai Agbaji will share the backcourt duties, Brandon Ingram and Scottie Barnes will be on the wing, while Sandro Mamukelashvili will be the team's starting center.
