Chris Paul started in place of Thompson (tendinitis) and Jonathan Kuminga got the call in place of Green (contusion).
Thompson and Green each made five 3-pointers in Tuesday's 134-120 road win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Thompson scored 27 points and Green had 15 points, 10 assists and six rebounds.
The Warriors (44-35) entered Thursday's game in 10th place in the Western Conference. Golden State will participate in next week's play-in tournament.
