The Golden State Warriors play their third NBA preseason game on Friday evening against the Detroit Pistons. Looking to stay perfect, Golden State enters this game a perfect 2-0 in the preseason after wins over the LA Clippers and Sacramento Kings.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had a different starting lineup in the first two preseason games and has changed his lineup again for this game against the Detroit Pistons.

Kerr relies on a three-guard small-ball lineup, starting with Steph Curry, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II, Kyle Anderson and Draymond Green, as well as The Athletic’s Anthony Slater.

This is a very small lineup that Warriors fans have reacted to on X.

Via @Efeso1001: “This is a lineup where Mo will have a chance. I hope he shines in the secondary defense spot with that gap, although it will be tough…but the defense should be excellent.”

Via @babyfacedubs: “WHAT AM I EXPERIENCING NOW??? WHAT KIDN IF IS THE LINEUP”

Via @GS_f0rL1f3: “Moody W, but another 3-guard lineup”

Via @chromegsw: “We couldn’t guard Saboni last game, so we’ll go even smaller. Kerr is something.”

About @YC_0015: “Experimentation is fine but GP2 and Moody on the grid, very small lineup man”

Via @BobMcMillan8: “Ok that’s gross lol but at least the mood starts.”

The Warriors and Pistons will square off at Chase Center at 5:30 p.m. PT. Before the game, Kerr explained his reasons for this formation:

It will be interesting to see how this small lineup works with three guards and Green at center.
