Lee will play in the Warriors' back-to-back set Friday in Denver and Saturday versus the Knicks, the San Jose Mercury News reports. Getting Lee back in the lineup will allow head coach Steve Kerr to rest some guys during an upcoming stretch of three games in four days.

As the result of a coach's decision, Lee has missed three of the past four games, but Kerr mentioned Thursday that the veteran forward will take part in the upcoming back-to-back. In nine games played since the break, Lee has averaged 6.9 points (on 60 percent shooting), 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 0.7 steals in 16 minutes.
