"The Warriors may be down two centers as Andris Biedrins, the starter, is questionable for today's game against the Los Angeles Clippers because of an ailing back.

"It's a little sore," Biedrins said Thursday. "Hopefully I will play, but we'll see (today)."

Biedrins' backup, Ronny Turiaf, missed Wednesday's game with a sprained left knee. He did not practice Thursday and is doubtful for today's game. So coach Don Nelson will turn to veteran Mikki Moore as the starting center if Biedrins or Turiaf can't play. The last time Moore started was last season with the Sacramento Kings, on Jan."‰6 at Chicago.

Anthony Randolph, whom Nelson said will serve as a backup center, won't start because the Clippers feature 7-foot, 265-pound Chris Kaman. Nelson has said he wants Randolph to play only against reserves.

In Wednesday's win over Memphis, Randolph played seven minutes, less than three when Marc Gasol, the Grizzlies starting center, was on the floor. The backup center for the Clippers is second-year 7-footer DeAndre Jordan. But Jordan hasn't played much, as Kaman averages 40.6 minutes.

"I'm much stronger (than I was last year)," Randolph said. "I know a lot more about the NBA game, but I still need a lot of game-time experience to make the player I hopefully will be in the future. I'm better able to guard (big guys). Like I said, I'm a basketball player, whether I'm guarding the (power forward), (center) or (small forward).""
