Granger (hamstring) is expected to take the court for Game 1 of Saturday's first-round series against the Warriors, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

Sidelined the final nine games of the regular season due to a left hamstring strain, Granger should be available to the Clippers' wing ranks, after three weeks of inactivity. Prior to the injury, he contributed a healthy eight points (on 42.9 percent shooting), 2.3 rebounds, one three-pointer, and 0.7 assists in 16.2 minutes. Because the rotation will be full intact, though, he may not receive a consistent role right off the bat.
