Lee (back) has been ruled out for Game 1 on Saturday, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Lee continues to battle a strained lower back, and the team will hold him out Saturday. Given the favorable first-round matchup, the Warriors will not rush Lee back, so it's possible he could miss additional games. Look for Marreese Speights to pick up some extra minutes in Lee's stead.
