Barnes will get the start at small forward when the Warriors take on the Spurs Wendesday, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Spurs will opt to sit rookie Patrick McCaw in favor of Barnes. The veteran has averaged 5.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 0.9 threes across 19.7 minutes in 14 games with the Warriors, but has started just twice. While he figures to see a few more minutes in his starting role, he will face a stout Spurs' defense. It is unclear what direction the Warriors will go at small forward until Kevin Durant returns, but coach Steve Kerr could make his decision based on matchups.
