Davis, who said his goal is to play in 82 games, started at center with James and Lonnie Walker IV joining him in the frontcourt.
Westbrook was listed as day to day on the injury because of the left hamstring injury. He was listed as probable along with Davis (back) and James (foot).
The game against the Warriors was the nightcap of a season-opening doubleheader. Golden State players received their championship rings before tipoff.
