In his first game back from a back injury, Butler logged 31 minutes in the blowout loss and finished as one of the Warriors’ top scorers. He was efficient from the field and landed his usual production from the free-throw line. Yet, the veteran forward made little impact elsewhere as far as the stat sheet is concerned. The good news, however, is that Butler appears to have made it out of Friday’s contest without a new or reaggravated injury.

Green logged 26 minutes in Friday’s lopsided loss, with his contributions from beyond the arc serving as one of the bright spots for Golden State. He set season-highs in points and three-pointers in his return from a rib injury and continues to shoot the three at a career-best rate to begin the season. He’ll look to remain productive on Sunday against the Pacers.

Post came off the bench for the fifth time this season. In his reserve role on Friday, he went without a miss on his six field-goal attempts and finished as the Warriors’ best bench scorer on the night. Post has seen his role fluctuate throughout the early part of the season and has yet to find the rhythm on offense that he displayed last season. Nevertheless, he’ll have a chance to log consecutive strong performances on Sunday against the Pacers.

Butler is back in the fold after a one-game absence with a back injury, which means Will Richard will head to the bench. Also, with Stephen Curry still out, Moody will remain in the starting lineup, preserving his streaming value.

Butler’s availability on Friday is big for the Warriors, who will face a Nuggets team looking to avenge an early-season loss. The veteran forward is averaging 19.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.5 assists through eight games this season and will re-enter the starting lineup on Friday, after missing his first game of the season on Wednesday, to help the Warriors get back on track after having lost three of their last four games.

Horford’s absence on Friday will leave the Warriors thinner in the frontcourt when facing Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets’ strong frontcourt. Horford recorded a season-high 29 minutes and 13 points in a win over Denver earlier this season. Without him in the lineup on Friday, Trayce Jackson-Davis should see more opportunities as the potential backup center behind Quinten Post.

Nembhard has been out since the Pacers’ season opener, but a return may be on the horizon. If he can play on Saturday, Nembhard will likely push Ben Sheppard out of the starting lineup. Sheppard, who played 35 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Nets, would be worth holding onto in deep leagues due to Indiana’s lack of depth.

Moody’s back injury is new, and his addition to the injury report just hours before tip-off means he’s in danger of sitting out against Denver. If Moody is sidelined, Buddy Hield and rookie Will Richard could be in line for an expanded role. Richard popped off for 30 points on Wednesday in his first career start.

This will be a second straight absence for Curry. Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green were also out for the Warriors’ last game, which allowed Will Richard, Moses Moody, Quinten Post and Brandin Podziemski to all start. The lineup will look different with Green probable and Butler questionable, but there will be at least one extra spot in the starting unit with Curry out.

Indiana has dealt with a ton of injuries in the backcourt this season, which led to them signing McClung in the first place. However, they’ll pivot to a veteran guard who they nearly signed in September. Morris will likely have a role, but he isn’t a player that will contribute consistently for fantasy managers.

With Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler both sidelined, Kuminga moved up in the offensive pecking order on Wednesday. While he didn’t record any defensive stats, the offensive stats were certainly valuable to those who have him rostered. Kuminga is still ranked outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, but he’s been more consistent than he was a season ago.

Making his first career start, Richard made the most of his opportunity. One night removed from picking up a DNP-CD in a win over the Suns, the second-round pick dropped a highly efficient 30 points while providing value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Richard should not be rostered in fantasy leagues, especially if Stephen Curry is back for Friday’s game against the Nuggets. However, his name should be filed away for the next time the Warriors decide to hold out a few of their vets.

While he did provide decent value in the rebound and steals categories, Horford had a brutal night shooting the basketball. The veteran center missed all seven of his three-point attempts and was 0-of-8 overall. Horford did play 27 minutes, the first time he’s surpassed 20 this season. It’s clear that Horford and the Warriors are playing the “long game” to ensure he’s healthy for the stretch run. However, this approach doesn’t do fantasy managers any favors.

Moody dropped a season-high point total on Wednesday, helping pick up the slack with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green all sidelined. Moody has scored 20 points or more in two straight games for the first time since January 7-10, 2024. Rostered in six percent of Yahoo! leagues, he is ranked just outside the top-75 in nine-cat formats. However, with his opportunities being dictated in part by the availability of the Warriors’ stars, that rostered percentage won’t move much in the aftermath of Wednesday’s performance.

Due to their many injuries, the Pacers signed Robinson-Earl to a 10-day contract over the weekend. Wednesday’s game was the first in which he truly stood out, grabbing 15 rebounds. There’s no need to consider adding Robinson-Earl based on one performance, but he’s looking to earn himself an opportunity, whether it’s with the Pacers or another team.

Due to the Pacers’ lack of healthy point guards, Siakam has been asked to take on more playmaking responsibilities this season. Of the eight games he’s played, Spicy P has recorded at least six assists in four, including a season-high nine on Wednesday. The negative was that he committed seven turnovers against the Nets, more than doubling his previous high (three). High-turnover nights of this caliber have been few and far between for Siakam, so there isn’t much to worry about. The only concern is that there may come a point later in the season when the Pacers’ draft lottery odds become a priority, but we aren’t there yet.

Sheppard, who started three games earlier this season, was back in the lineup on Wednesday due to Quenton Jackson (hamstring) being out. The third-year guard had his best game of the season, recording a complete stat line that included 18 points and three three-pointers. Rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Sheppard still isn’t in a place where he has to be on deep-league rosters. But the circumstances make him a player to watch, especially with the Pacers hitting the road for a four-game trip.

Podziemski was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, and he’ll figure prominently in the Warriors’ rotation.

Quenton Jackson (hamstring) is out indefinitely after injuring his hamstring during Monday’s loss to the Bucks. Sheppard will make his fourth start of the season, and while he hasn’t been the most productive option, there won’t be a shortage of opportunities due to the Pacers’ many injuries. Look for Siakam to have the ball in his hands quite often as a facilitator for others, while also getting his own looks.

After hosting the Nets on Wednesday, the Pacers will hit the road for four games, starting Saturday in Denver. Furphy, who injured his left ankle during Monday’s loss to the Bucks, will not play, and there’s a chance he misses time beyond the road trip. To help account for their team’s many injuries, the Pacers received a hardship waiver to sign Cody Martin to a 10-day contract.

Indiana has been decimated by injuries this season, and Martin will help provide some depth, though it may just be temporary.

Curry has been dealing with a cold recently, but still managed to play 34 minutes on Tuesday. While he left the door open to playing on Wednesday, Kerr slammed it shut during his postgame media availability. “I don’t care what the doctors say ... I’ll make the decision right now. He’s not going to play tomorrow,” Kerr stated. With Curry unavailable, Brandin Podziemski could potentially move into the starting lineup. Moses Moody is another possibility, but his spot in the rotation may depend on Jimmy Butler’s availability. Butler did not return in the second half due to a lingering back issue.

Moody’s opportunities increased during Tuesday’s game, as Jimmy Butler could not go during the second half. Credit Moody for taking advantage, scoring a season-high 24 points on 70 percent shooting. His final stat line only lacked a blocked shot, and he may have streaming value for Wednesday’s game in Sacramento. In addition to Butler’s back injury, Stephen Curry has been dealing with a cold the past few days. If both sit, Moody will be worth streaming in some 12-team leagues.

Due to a need to match up with Suns center Mark Williams, the Warriors started Post on Tuesday. The second-year center played well, shooting well over 50 percent from the field overall and 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. Add in the rebounds and blocks; this was a good night to stream Post in deep leagues. Brandin Podziemski, bumped to the bench in favor of Post, finished with 13 points (5-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer. Al Horford (rest) will be available for Wednesday’s game against the Kings, so Post’s minutes may decrease after logging 27 on Tuesday.

With Jimmy Butler (back) being a shell of himself before exiting Tuesday’s game at the half, Curry had to shoulder even more of the offensive workload. He surpassed 20 field-goal attempts for the fourth time this season and is 17-of-46 over his last two games. Curry recorded a complete stat line, but the production was limited outside of points and three-pointers. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they could not put away Tuesday’s game until late, with Curry playing 34 minutes. They visit the Kings on Wednesday, so taking care of the Suns quickly would have been beneficial to get Curry and Draymond Green (2/6/8/1/1) additional rest. And with Curry revealing after the win that he’s been dealing with a cold, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday.

Add another guard to the Pacers’ lengthy injury report. Jackson strained his right hamstring during Monday’s loss to the Bucks, and fantasy managers should plan for a multi-game absence.

Walker has been in the starting lineup for the shorthanded Pacers, but he has struggled to get shots to fall. However, he had one of his best offensive performances of the season in this one.

Siakam’s ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, with low percentages being the culprit. Given his career production, one would assume that Spicy P will close in on his Yahoo! ADP (30) as the season progresses. He’s being asked to shoulder a heavy workload, but that will change somewhat once the Pacers get some of their injured rotation players back on the floor.

Not only did Nesmith notch a career-high point total, but this was also his third 30-point game. Given how poorly he’s shot the ball to begin the season, Nesmith getting untracked on Saturday was critical for the shorthanded Pacers. Shooting 34.6 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the foul line, he’s ranked outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats. However, due to Indiana’s lack of available options, Nesmith needs to be rostered in deep leagues, even if that comes with the risk of him recording low percentages. The Pacers play four games during Week 3, starting with the Bucks on Monday.

Due to the Pacers’ many injuries, players who would have been an afterthought receive legitimate opportunities to contribute. Jackson is one of them, with Saturday’s start being his second in as many nights. And he put on a show, recording his first double-double and notching a career-high point total. Jackson’s biggest shot was his last, as his bank shot with 5.2 seconds remaining extended Indiana’s lead to five. The Pacers play four games during Week 3, and Jackson is worth adding in deep leagues due to the injuries.
