Warriors game day: Stephen Curry to face little brother

Steve Kerr, 3rd season with Warriors (145-26 with Warriors and overall); Rick Carlisle, 9th season with Mavericks (382-265 with Mavericks and 663-476 overall) Mavericks: PG Jose Juan Barea (17.3 ppg, 5.6 apg), SG Wesley Matthews (12.6 ppg, 2.6 apg), SF Harrison Barnes (22.3 ppg, 5.9 rpg), PF Dorian Finney-Smith (1.7 ppg, 1.2 rpg), C Andrew Bogut (3.7 ppg, 10.8 rpg) Mavericks injury report: PG Deron Williams (left calf strain) is doubtful. Devin Harris (right great toe sprain) and Dirk Nowitzki (right Achilles soreness) are out. How will the Warriors fare against Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut? A week after the Kevin Durant-Russell Westbrook reunion was a national story line, Barnes and Bogut return to Oracle Arena for the first time since joining Dallas in July. Barnes, a complementary piece during his four seasons with Golden State, has blossomed into the Mavericks’ primary scoring option. With Dirk Nowitzki dealing with health issues, Barnes is averaging 22.3 points per game on 50.8 percent shooting. Though far from an offensive force, Bogut is averaging a team-high 10.8 rebounds per game. Golden State’s interior defense has struggled without the Australian big man to anchor the post. In the Mavericks’ 109-97 win Tuesday over the Lakers, he needed only 15 shots to score 23 points. Seven games into a much-hyped season, the Warriors have looked more uneven than dominant. Klay Thompson is laboring from behind the arc, opponents are attacking the rim with relative ease and Golden State is piling up costly turnovers. To beat a winless Pelicans team Monday, it relied on a transcendent performance from Stephen Curry (NBA-record 13 three-pointers).
