Coach Steve Kerr said Monday that there's a strong possibility Bogut returns to the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Utah, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Bogut has come off the bench in two games since returning from injury, but with his knee injury now behind him, the big man should replace Marreese Speights in the starting five within the next game or two. Once that happens, expect Bogut to begin seeing close to his season average of 24.5 minutes per game, with Speights seeing his fair share of the minutes as the backup with Festus Ezeli (ankle) sidelined. The Warriors will continue to exercise caution with Bogut, however, and Kerr said he'll consider resting the center for one game during the team's upcoming four-games-in-five-nights set.
