TJD joins Al Horford (sciatica) and Quinten Post (ankle) as questionable. With Draymond Green healthy, Jackson-Davis will likely only play a large role if both Horford and Post are sidelined, though if he does, he won’t be worth streaming.

Post has been a solid backup center this year, but with Draymond Green healthy, he won’t have much upside as a streamer regardless of his status. If he is unavailable, Al Horford will fill the backup center minutes, and Trayce Jackson-Davis should return to the rotation, though all three players are currently questionable.

Melton last suited up on Nov. 12, 2024, meaning if he sees the floor against Philadelphia, he will play for the first time in over a calendar year. It’s unclear how large of a role he’ll have, though it can safely be assumed that it won’t be a large one at first. Melton has a fantasy-friendly skillset, and he could end up as an intriguing waiver-wire pickup later in the year.

Horford could make his return after missing Golden State’s last four games. Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis are also questionable, so the availability of all three players will impact the minutes of each. Still, if Horford plays, he’s going to see his typical role as a backup center.

Since returning from a seven-game absence due to a bilateral knee issue, Kuminga has played 19 and 16 minutes off the bench. Now, he’s dealing with right ankle soreness. If he isn’t able to suit up against Philly, Moses Moody and Buddy Hield should see a bump in minutes.

Knee soreness ended Butler’s night early on Tuesday, which allowed Gary Payton II to start the second half in his place. Buddy Hield logged 28 minutes off the bench, and while he didn’t shoot well, he did get 15 shots. If Butler misses Thursday’s game, Hield would be the preferred streaming option over GPII.

Curry, who suffered a right quad contusion during the Warriors’ November 26 loss to the Rockets, has not played in the team’s last two games. Unfortunately, he’ll be out for a bit longer, with head coach Steve Kerr announcing following Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder that Curry will not travel for the team’s three-game road trip. After visiting Philadelphia on Thursday, the Warriors have games against the Cavaliers (December 6) and Bulls (December 7) before returning home. The hope is that Curry will be able to play on December 12 against the Timberwolves. Until then, Brandin Podziemski should continue to start, and he’s worth adding in 12-team leagues.

With older brother Stephen out with a quad contusion, Seth made his Warriors debut on Tuesday. And he provided excellent scoring value in his role, logging 18 minutes off the bench. Curry was one of four Warriors reserves to reach double figures, and the team will need more of the same with Jimmy Butler exiting Tuesday’s game with a sore right knee. Seth should not be rostered on the strength of one game, but with Stephen not traveling for the upcoming road trip, that could change with another solid performance.

Due to injuries to Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, the Warriors needed contributions from everyone to compete with the reigning champs on Tuesday. That includes Spencer, who matched his career-high in points in 21 minutes off the bench. In the three games leading up to Tuesday, the two-way contract guard totaled seven points on 3-of-6 shooting from the field. Against the Thunder, Spencer also recorded a career-high in made shots (eight) and provided solid value in the assist category. He should not be picked up in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s showing, but Spencer is worth watching for now.

With Stephen Curry (quad) out and Jimmy Butler (knee) not returning for the second half of Tuesday’s game, the Warriors relied on an even more balanced offensive approach than usual. Podziemski was one of six players to score in double figures, and one of four to hit double digits in shot attempts. He’s been Curry’s replacement in the starting lineup. And with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr saying after Tuesday’s defeat that Steph won’t travel on the upcoming road trip, now is a good time to roll the dice on Podziemski in 12-team formats.

Butler, who exited Tuesday’s game during the first half, was officially ruled out between the third and fourth quarters.

After missing two games with a right elbow injury, Murphy made his presence felt in a big way in his return. He set a new career high for rebounds while scoring at least 30 points for the third time this season. Murphy has been one of the bright spots in a disastrous season for New Orleans, and he’ll continue to be an elite player in fantasy basketball as long as he’s healthy and available.

Not many rookie point guards are able to have the offensive success that Fears has had. This was his fifth 20-point outing of the season, and his second in a row, which is the first time he’s scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. Fears’ inefficiency has limited his fantasy output this season, but he has shot over 50 percent from the floor in each of the last two games while turning it over a total of four times.

The report came out Tuesday afternoon that Zion Williamson would be out at least three weeks due to a right adductor strain. That means that Bey’s spot in the starting lineup should be safe for now, and he has made the most of the opportunity. Bey is still available in 65 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is far too low a number. Over the last six games as a starter, Bey has averaged 20.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 three-pointers per game.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made just one change to his starting lineup, replacing Quinten Post with Richard. The smaller lineup may work better defensively, mainly since the Thunder employs only one big man in their current five (Chet Holmgren). Starting gives Richard a higher fantasy ceiling, but he is not a must-stream in this spot.

Zion popped up on the injury report Tuesday afternoon after not initially being included on it. He had previously been dealing with a hamstring injury, but now it’s the right adductor that will keep him sidelined until at least Dec. 23. Saddiq Bey and Derik Queen should continue to be the main beneficiaries with Zion unavailable for at least a few weeks. Queen should be locked in as a starter for the rest of the season, while Bey should continue to start with Zion out. Bey has averaged 19.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.6 triples over the last five games and is available in 66 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Williamson was off the injury report on Monday evening for his hamstring, but the adductor issue is a new one, suggesting he may sit this one out. Missi is also a late addition to the injury report, and if both he and Zion are forced to sit this one out, Derik Queen and Saddiq Bey should see even higher usage. Micah Peavey and Kevon Looney could soak up some additional minutes off the bench.

Murphy will return following a two-game absence, which means Bryce McGowens (who has played well with increased opportunities) will lose most of his streaming appeal.

Butler fell hard on his left side during Saturday’s win over the Pelicans, resulting in a glute contusion that could keep him out of Tuesday’s game. With Stephen Curry (quad) already out, losing Butler would put the Warriors in a tough spot offensively. Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody, who are already starting, would become more valuable to fantasy managers. Also, Butler not playing could push Jonathan Kuminga back into the starting lineup.

After making a shot with 3:37 remaining in the fourth quarter, Alvarado reached for his right hamstring. He would then give a foul to exit the game, which may have happened even if he were healthy, as the outcome was no longer in doubt. However, the hamstring could be a concern for the Pelicans’ backup point guard. While Alvarado’s production hasn’t been great from a fantasy standpoint, backing up a rookie (Jeremiah Fears) has made him worth a look in some deep leagues. The Pelicans host Minnesota on Tuesday.

Since returning to the Pelicans’ starting lineup on November 22, Bey has recorded four double-doubles in five games. Over the past week, he has provided second-round value in nine-cat formats, stepping up as a reliable option due to the Pelicans’ many injuries. Bey’s place in the starting lineup may be secure until Herb Jones returns from a strained calf, and that may not happen until Week 8 at the earliest. New Orleans plays three games in Week 7, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

With Trey Murphy, Herb Jones and Jordan Hawkins all ruled out due to injury, McGowens had more opportunities to contribute offensively in his second consecutive start. The wing, who’s on a two-way contract, recorded a career-high point total while shooting 50 percent from the field. McGowens’ fantasy value in Week 7 hinges upon Murphy’s availability. If Trey can play against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, there won’t be much to gain from adding McGowens to your roster.

While it did not result in a victory, Fears had one of his best games of the season on Sunday. Shooting 50 percent from the field, the rookie guard recorded his fourth 20-point game and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Rostered in 24 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Fears’ fantasy value has been low for most of this season. However, his role as the starting point guard makes him worth the risk in deep leagues.

Fears’ night in San Francisco ended prematurely, as he picked up his second technical foul and was ejected after exchanging words with Jimmy Butler. The back-and-forth happened during the final minute when the outcome was no longer in doubt, so fantasy managers didn’t miss out on too much.

While Bey’s double-double streak ended at three games, he had another good night for the Pelicans. Over the past week, he’s provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats despite shooting 57.1 percent from the foul line. Starting alongside Zion Williamson, Bey will have value until Trey Murphy or Herb Jones returns from their injuries.

Williamson has scored at least 22 points in three of his last four games. What stands out from his performance on Saturday is the foul shooting. Williamson made 90 percent of his attempts against the Warriors, and he’s shot a respectable 79.5 percent over the past two weeks. While Zion doesn’t have to turn into an elite foul shooter, becoming respectable would do wonders for his fantasy value.

After missing seven games with bilateral patellar tendinitis, Kuminga was brought off the bench on Saturday. He had a solid night shooting the basketball, but this may be a spot where his fantasy value is limited.

After a rough first half in which he missed all four of his shot attempts, there wasn’t anywhere for Podziemski to go but up. That’s precisely what happened, as he shot 5-of-8 from the field and scored 15 points in the second half. Add in the rebounds, assists and three-pointers, and this was a good night for the Warriors guard. With Stephen Curry (quad) out for a few more games, Podziemski boasts a higher fantasy ceiling, especially as a starter.

While it was known that others would have to step up with Stephen Curry unavailable, few would have expected Payton to be among them. GPII had his best game of the season against the Pelicans, hitting double figures in points and rebounds for the first time.

One game does not make him a viable fantasy option, but he’s worth watching when the Warriors open their Week 7 against the Thunder on Tuesday.

With Stephen Curry (quad) out, the Warriors needed more from Butler, and he rose to the challenge. The veteran forward finished two rebounds shy of a triple-double, recording his line with solid percentages from the field and the foul line. The lone concern regarding Butler’s Saturday night is the hard fall he took during the second quarter. Undercut by Pelicans wing Micah Peavy, Butler landed directly on his left hip. While he remained in the game and played 37 minutes, that’s something to be mindful of ahead of the Warriors’ Week 7 opener against the Thunder on Tuesday.

He recorded season-highs in points and three-pointers while finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line.

As was the case in Monday’s win over the Bulls, Yves Missi (6/6/3/0/3) played more minutes than Queen. However, the split was closer to even, with Missi logging 29 minutes and Queen 24. The rookie did record nine assists, two shy of his season high, and his ability to facilitate offense should raise Queen’s fantasy ceiling in time. He has provided seventh-round value over two weeks, so losing playing to Missi has not done too much harm to Queen’s value.

Not only did Hawkins hit double figures for the second time this season on Wednesday, but he notched season-highs in points and three-pointers. However, for as productive as he was in 15 minutes of action, Hawkins is not at the point where he should be rostered in redraft leagues.

Bey extended his double-double streak to three games on Wednesday, and he remains a starter with Herb Jones unavailable.

Having a healthy Zion Williamson on the court certainly helps New Orleans, but it’s Murphy who has the most varied offensive skill set of the team’s rotation players.

Three Pelicans starters scored at least 20 points on Monday, with Williamson leading the way. He had a big night at the foul line, making 13 of his 16 attempts, and Zion is shooting 69.3 percent for the season. While that percentage isn’t high enough to prevent Williamson managers from punting that category, it’s nearly four points higher than his 2024-25 mark (65.6 percent).

While the Pelicans scored 74 points in the first half, that did not keep interim head coach James Borrego from making a few lineup changes.

Missi had his best game of the season, recording a double-double with season-highs in points and rebounds. Add in the blocked shots, and Monday’s effort was a step in the right direction for the second-year center. As long as Queen remains the starter, there isn’t much to gain from rostering Missi right now. But keep an eye on him, as his value may expand during the “silly season.”
