What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Carl Steward @stewardsfollyBjelica was Otto Porter tonight. 22 minutes, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and one big down-the-stretch 3-pointer, no turnovers. Also had to guard Doncic a bit. Couldn’t ask for much more from a guy who’d only logged 19-plus minutes in the first four games and didn’t play at all in two. – 11:57 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
With Otto Porter Jr. out injured and Jonathan Kuminga yet to play, Moses Moody and Nemanja Bjelica are giving Warriors plenty of juice.
Warriors 56, Mavericks 38, 3:59 Q2 – 9:52 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Jordan Poole for Draymond Green instead of Kevon Looney middle of the first quarter. Rotation tweak from Steve Kerr. Looks like he wants Draymond in with that start of the second quarter unit without Otto Porter around. – 9:16 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM

Confirmed from Steve Kerr in his media availability that Otto Porter Jr is out for Game 5 of the Warriors vs Mavs tonight. It is his second straight missed game due to a sore left foot. – 7:20 PM Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Steve Kerr said Otto Porter Jr. (left foot soreness) will not play in Game 5 tonight.
That’s a boost for the Mavs’ rebounding and frontcourt defense again.
Kerr: “Otto’s absence is a really big deal.” – 7:17 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS

Warriors officially rule Otto Porter Jr. out of Game 5. That leaves an important rotation void again. Went to Jonathan Kuminga in Game 4. Nemanja Bjelica played well in fourth quarter comeback. He feels like an option. – 7:16 PM Chris Biderman @TheWarriorsWire
During the second quarter of Game 3 against the Mavericks, Otto Porter Jr. exited with left foot soreness. warriorswire.usatoday.com/2022/05/23/inj… – 1:00 AM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
