Warriors' Nick Young: Totals six points in Game 1 start
Nick Young managed six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across 21 minutes during Golden State's 123-101 win over the Pelicans in Game 1 of their Western Conference second-round playoff series.Young drew the start at forward in a new-look starting lineup to open the second round, but he was far off the scoring pace set by the rest of his first-unit mates. Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant combined for 43 shot attempts alone, so there also wasn't much left over for Young after Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala also got their work in. With Stephen Curry (knee) slated to be back for Tuesday's Game 2, a return to the bench is likely in the cards for Young, although the possibility remains that head coach Steve Kerr opts to continue deploying a Young-Durant-Green trio at small forward, power forward and center.

Warriors' Nick Young: Contributes five points off bench Sunday
Nick Young posted five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes in Sunday's 117-100 win over the Suns.Young has settled back into a bench role with the late-March return of Klay Thompson to the starting lineup, and Sunday's line was representative of what his typical production has been in that capacity. The veteran wing had been recently dealing with an illness, as well, but he'd played through it Saturday against the Pelicans and provided eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes in that contest. Assuming Thompson remains healthy, expect Young to likely continue logging approximately 20 minutes per contest while providing some scoring punch off the bench during the postseason.
