San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker reversed course Monday night regarding his belief that coach Gregg Popovich would rest the team’s frontline contributors during its next two meetings against the first-place Golden State Warriors.

Parker expected Popovich might rest key players in Monday’s 88-86 win over the Utah Jazz, but Popovich utilized the majority of the roster, with five players — Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Manu Ginobili and Kyle Anderson — scoring in double figures. That led Parker to expect the entire group would play Thursday night at Golden State.
