Clark was added to the injury report as questionable with an illness early Friday afternoon. The 24-year-old shooting guard will have the rest of the afternoon to get over his illness before the matchup with the Thunder on Friday night. Clark’s availability doesn’t significantly impact fantasy basketball either way.

Butler had one of his better games Thursday with 31 points in the loss to the Suns. That’s as many points as Butler had in the previous two games. The 36-year-old small forward hadn’t scored at least 30 points since November 18. Butler’s production in the other categories has been consistent and higher scoring can only add to his value. The Warriors finish up the week with another meeting with the Suns on Saturday.

While Reid didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, he recorded another complete stat line in what has been an excellent run of production. Over the past two weeks, the Timberwolves’ forward/center has been a top-30 player in nine-cat formats. And with his role remaining consistent, Reid’s chances of sustaining this production level are good. With Anthony Edwards (foot) out, Naz is one of the players whose usage has increased slightly in recent games, much to the delight of fantasy managers.

Randle has scored at least 21 points in six straight and seven of his last eight games. The consistent scoring output is why he continues to provide third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. The good news for those who have Randle rostered in nine-cat formats is that he’s been good enough to offer top-40 value. He’s kept the turnovers in check, and the scoring efficiency has improved. He looks more comfortable in his second season with the Timberwolves than he did in his first.

Back with the team after exiting Sunday’s win over the Kings to be present for the birth of his child, Gobert recorded one of his best stat lines of the season. Recording his 11th double-double, Gobert’s 16 rebounds were two shy of his season-high. Add in the percentages and blocked shots, and Wednesday’s stat line was the high end of what fantasy managers hope to get from the “Stifle Tower.”

DiVincenzo has now scored 18 points or more in each of his last three games, which were all played with Anthony Edwards out of the lineup. Counting Wednesday, he’s shot 20-of-49 (40.8 percent) from the field, slightly lower than his percentage for the season (41.3 percent). However, over the past two weeks, he’s made 38.9 percent of his shots. DiVincenzo has still provided top-100 value, but things could be better for him and those who have him rostered.

Edwards has missed the last two games with a foot injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard wasn’t an active participant in Tuesday’s practice, though he did player development work off to the side. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch told reporters Edwards is progressing well and getting closer to playing. His questionable status at least gives him a chance of returning Wednesday. Bone Hyland had 18 points in 36 minutes against the Kings on Sunday and could move into the starting lineup again if Edwards remains sidelined.

Green was back in the Warriors’ lineup after missing three games with a foot injury. The good news for those who have him rostered is that the veteran forward put up a complete stat line. The bad news is that Green’s final line included eight turnovers, a reminder that there are some things for him to clean up. The Warriors play two games in Week 9, a Thursday/Saturday home-and-home against the Suns.

Butler did most of his damage offensively at the foul line, and he moved into 38th on the NBA’s all-time free throws made list on Sunday. Fantasy managers will be satisfied with the rebounds, assists and steals, but the scoring output was underwhelming. Butler is providing third-round value in eight-cat formats, and availability has not been a serious issue for him thus far. He’ll look to do more offensively when the Warriors visit the Suns on Thursday.

Sunday’s performance was a historic one for Curry. After scoring 39 points in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves, he was even better in Portland, with the 48 being one point shy of his season-high. Curry made 12 three-pointers, the fifth time he’s hit that many in an NBA game, and that is a record. He’s also the all-time leader in 40-point games for a player over 30 years old, passing Michael Jordan. The Warriors play two games in Week 9, a Thursday/Saturday home-and-home against Phoenix.

Randle spearheaded Minnesota’s offensive effort with Anthony Edwards (foot) missing his second straight contest. He knocked down a pair of three-pointers and finished one rebound shy of a double-double in this one. The 31-year-old scoring machine has delivered fifth-round fantasy value over the past two weeks, averaging 23.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 0.5 steals over six games during that span. It’s a busy week coming up for the Timberwolves as they host the Grizzlies, Thunder and Bucks.

McDaniels eclipsed 20 points despite going 1-for-7 from downtown by getting to the line for a season-high six free throws.

Reid played an increased role for Minnesota in the second half, pouring in 13 points over 19 minutes off the bench, after Rudy Gobert left the contest for personal reasons. It’s unclear how much time Gobert is going to miss, if any, but Reid would be the most significant beneficiary from a minutes standpoint. The 26-year-old big man has contributed second-round fantasy value over the past two weeks, averaging a robust 16.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks over his last six games.

Butler had a relatively quiet outing on Friday, despite leading the Warriors in rebounds and tying for the most assists. He made only 2-of-4 shots in the second half and registered just one point in the fourth quarter. The veteran forward’s scoring has slowed down in December compared to the previous two months. He’ll be in solid shape from a fantasy basketball perspective if he can regain his form as a scorer.

Despite not shooting the ball well, Post was Golden State’s second-highest scorer on the evening — the majority of his production came from beyond the arc, where he shot 4-of-11. He also made a decent impact on the boards in his 33 minutes. And while Post’s performance on Friday was nothing spectacular, it marked the fourth straight game he’s scored in double figures. He’ll have chances to produce solid fantasy basketball numbers if Draymond Green (foot) and Al Horford (back) continue to miss time.

Curry returned from a five-game absence and rounded right back into form. The two-time MVP logged 32 minutes and was a missed free throw away from cracking the 40-point mark in his first game back. Still, the high-scoring outing featured strong three-point shooting and efficient scoring inside the arc, along with a brilliant fourth-quarter display of shotmaking that got Golden State back in the game. Curry tied a team-high with assists along the way, and will have a day off to recover before getting back on the floor on Sunday against the Trail Blazers.

On the heels of a two-point outing against the Suns, DiVincenzo bounced back nicely on Friday with his fourth 20-point game of the season. He hadn’t had a significant impact on the game through three quarters, but saved his best for the fourth. In the final frame, he recorded 10 points and knocked down two massive three-pointers to swing the momentum and ultimately help the Wolves get back in the win column. With Mike Conley (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (foot) out on Friday, and Bones Hyland (knee) exiting early with an injury, there’s a chance DiVincenzo’s usage and production could take a jump in the short term.

After being ejected from Monday’s loss to the Suns, Gobert responded with one of his better performances of the season on Friday. In the win, the veteran center crossed the 20-point mark for the second time this season and pulled down double-digit rebounds to claim his 10th double-double. Most notably, Gobert came up big in the fourth quarter by going 6-of-6 from the field with a key basket down the stretch to help the Timberwolves get back in the win column. His numbers are down slightly this season, but he remains a nightly double-double threat.

Randle did a little bit of everything for the Timberwolves on Friday. The veteran forward led all Minnesota players in scoring, taking advantage of the charity stripe and efficient overall shooting. His work on the boards brought him close to a double-double, and he made several key passes down the stretch of the fourth quarter to help the Wolves land a bounce-back win. Randle has now tallied at least 20 points in four consecutive games and continues to provide value as a facilitator.
