Sitting out Monday
Horford (rest) will not play Monday against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Horford does not play in back-to-back sets, so he will take a maintenance day after logging 23 minutes Sunday. With Draymond Green (back) questionable, the Warriors could lean more on Gui Santos, Buddy Hield and Quinten Post.

Starting Sunday
Horford will start Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Horford will make just his second start of the season as the team continues to test new starting lineups following the injury to star forward Jimmy Butler (knee). Horford has seen a slightly increased role of late, averaging 21.0 minutes per contest over his last five appearances. His role doesn't figure to change significantly even as he enters the starting five. Head coach Steve Kerr said Sunday that Horford won't play in Monday's rematch against Minnesota, per Jack Borman of the Locked On Podcast Network.

Cleared to play Sunday
Horford (toe) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis
With Saturday's game being postponed to Sunday, Horford will end up playing in the first leg of a back-to-back set with Minnesota. Head coach Steve Kerr said Sunday that Horford won't play in Monday's rematch against Minnesota, per Jack Borman of the Locked On Podcast Network. The veteran big man has averaged 7.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.2 blocks over 18.8 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Iffy for Sunday
Horford (left toe injury management) is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis
Golden State was previously scheduled to face the Timberwolves on Saturday and Monday, but Saturday's game was pushed back to Sunday, making it a back-to-back. Horford hasn't played in a back-to-back this season, and he may end up missing Sunday's contest for rest purposes.
