There weren’t many who believed Warriors head coach Steve Kerr when he said after Monday’s win over the Heat that he could turn to Kuminga if need be, with Jimmy Butler III (knee) done for the season. Well, Kuminga checked into Tuesday’s game at the start of the second quarter and provided excellent contributions in his 21 minutes. The Warriors forward scored 12 points in the third quarter alone, helping make the game somewhat competitive after Golden State fell behind by 29. With Kuminga get legitimate chances to contribute? Or will this be a “shop window” phase in which the team looks to boost his trade value ahead of the February 5 deadline? Regardless of the answer, Kuminga getting the chance to play is huge after being shelved for 16 straight.

After dropping a season-high 24 points in Monday’s win over the Heat, Podziemski was probably due to cool down. He moved into the starting lineup on Tuesday, and the overall stat line was modest. However, one mediocre performance as the fifth starter should not prompt fantasy managers to immediately drop Podziemski, especially if he holds onto that role. He’ll look to bounce back on Thursday against the Mavericks.

With Jimmy Butler III (knee) done for the season, it was “all hands on deck” for the Warriors on Tuesday. Hield, who has been in the rotation the last three games, recorded season-highs in points and three-pointers against the Raptors. The sharpshooter was a perfect 6-of-6 from beyond the arc, and while duplicating that feat in future games will be challenging, Hield can return to fantasy relevance. For deep-league managers needing three-point production, he’s worth keeping an eye on.

Tuesday’s game is the first for the Warriors since losing Jimmy Butler III to a season-ending ACL tear on Monday. Green is back after sitting out the win over the Heat, and Podziemski will replace Will Richard in the starting lineup. Due to the Warriors’ need for scoring after losing Butler, Podz should remain a starter for the foreseeable future.

Back in the lineup after a one-game absence, Green may slide into the spot left vacant due to Jimmy Butler suffering a season-ending knee injury during Monday’s win over the Heat. If so, rookie Will Richard should remain in the starting lineup. Richard isn’t a must-roster player, but he’s worth watching after Butler’s injury.

Butler’s absence is a major blow to the Warriors, who are treading water in the competitive Western Conference standings.

Having fallen out of the Warriors’ rotation recently, Hield logged 23 minutes on Monday. The Warriors didn’t have De’Anthony Melton (knee) for injury management reasons, freeing up minutes for the veteran shooting guard. Hield took advantage of his opportunity, with the 16 points being the most in a game for him since November 24. Depending on how much time Jimmy Butler misses after injuring his right knee, Hield could remain in the rotation for the foreseeable future.

With Jimmy Butler (knee) leaving early in the third quarter and Stephen Curry saddled with foul trouble early in the fourth, Podziemski stepped up to help lead the Warriors to the win. He finished with a season-high point total, with only a blocked shot missing from Podziemski’s stat line. Butler’s injury makes Podziemski a more critical option, even if he remains with the bench unit. He’s worth picking up even before Butler undergoes an MRI on Tuesday.

The Warriors made 24 three-pointers in Monday’s victory, extending the team’s streak of games with 20 or more to four. Post was responsible for four of them, and the 16 points were the most he’s scored in a game since December 12. The second-year center has been a fixture in the starting lineup since early December, but Post’s production has not made him worth the risk in redraft leagues.

Curry’s 11 assists matched his season-high, with the Warriors’ guard recording his third double-double in six games. Interestingly, the game turned when Curry went to the bench early in the fourth quarter after picking up his fifth foul. That factored into him playing 28 minutes, which may bode well for his availability for Tuesday’s game against the Raptors.

A 42.7 percent shooter from the field, Camara had his most accurate performance of the season on Sunday. He didn’t miss a shot from the field or the foul line, continuing to trend in the right direction. Over the past two weeks, Camara has shot 48.1 percent from the field and 93.3 percent from the foul line.

Sharpe has now scored at least 19 points in eight consecutive games, his most consistent run of scoring in a month. Over the past two weeks, he’s been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, shooting 48.6 percent from the field. What has also helped Sharpe is improved production across categories beyond points, rebounds and three-pointers.

After firing up seven three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Lakers, making one, Clingan did most of his damage around the basket on Sunday. And to significant effect, as the Trail Blazers’ center recorded his 15th double-double of the season. Over the past two weeks, Clingan has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats, a run that has pushed his season-long value back within the top-100. Portland plays just two games in Week 14, and they’re off until Thursday.

After sitting out three games with a back injury, Avdija did not miss a beat in his return to action on Sunday. Shooting over 50 percent from the field, the Trail Blazers’ guard/forward finished two rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double while keeping the turnovers (three) in check. Avdija has an excellent argument to be an All-Star this season, and his emergence has kept the Trail Blazers in the play-in tournament conversation.

Given how well Love has played, it feels inevitable that he’ll eventually be upgraded to a standard contract. The rookie guard had another excellent night on Saturday, and he’s scored at least 17 points in five consecutive games. And a spot start could be in Love’s future, as the Trail Blazers visit Sacramento on Sunday.
