ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Luke Ridnour, Shooting guard Charlie Bell, Small forward Richard Jefferson, Power forward Luc Mbah a Moute, Center Andrew Bogut. Bench -- Forward Charlie Villanueva, Guard Ramon Sessions, Center Francisco Elson, Forward Joe Alexander, Guard Tyronn Lue.
PLAYER NOTES: --G Luke Ridnour said he isn't completely healthy and it may be reflected in his field-goal percentage. Ridnour, who has back spasms, connected on 4-of-10 field-goal attempts against the Spurs Wednesday night. In the last four games, Ridnour had made just 14-of-48 shots from the field -- a paltry 29 percent.
--F Richard Jefferson has a reputation of being able to get to the basket, and he lived up to that rep against the Spurs. Jefferson went to the line eight times, making six free throws. In the previous three games, however, Jefferson had gone to the line just seven times.
--F Luc Mbah a Moute had a rough night handling the basketball against the Spurs, finishing with three turnovers and no assists.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Michael Redd (high right ankle sprain) missed his fifth consecutive game Wednesday night against the Spurs. Redd had X-rays taken of the ankle, along with a MRI, and the tests were negative. However, Redd said he doesn't expect to play Friday night against the Grizzlies in Memphis.
--F Charlie Villanueva (left hamstring strain) said he's day-to-day. Villanueva said he'll try to practice with the team Thursday and then a decision on whether he'll travel with the team to Memphis for Friday night's game will be made.
--G Luke Ridnour (back spasms) started his fifth straight game Wednesday night against the Spurs after being sidelined the previous two games. Ridnour said he's close to being totally healthy, although there were instances in the last two games where he grimaced while holding his back.
