Curry made the wrong kind of personal history on Sunday. The three points are the fewest he’s scored in a game in which he’s attempted at least 10 shots in his NBA career. The Rockets used multiple defenders on Curry throughout Sunday’s game, and they were able to shut him down. Houston’s success may be bad news for the Suns, who will host the Warriors on Tuesday. That’s the first of four games Golden State will play during the final week of the regular season.

After scoring 54 points across his prior two appearances, Podziemski was not as prolific against the Rockets. That’s unsurprising, as Houston boasts one of the best defenses in the NBA. Podziemski still shot 50 percent from the field and made four three-pointers. Over the past two weeks, Podziemski has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats and has meshed well within the Warriors’ starting lineup since the addition of Jimmy Butler.

After playing just two minutes in Friday’s win over the Nuggets, Payton was far more involved in the Warriors’ rotation on Sunday. He provided surprising offensive production, with 16 points being the most he’s scored in a game since March 17. Add in the rebounds, steals, and three-pointers; this was an excellent night to stream Payton. The Warriors play four games during Week 23, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.

With Stephen Curry having a historically poor night, Hield was one of the Warriors who attempted to shoulder some of the workload. The 20 points were the most he’s scored in a game since March 10, when he hit that number in a win over the Trail Blazers. Hield remained a player rostered in deep leagues, but his value has taken a significant hit from the All-Star break onward. Sunday’s performance was a welcomed one for those who kept the faith.

For just the second time this season and the first since November 27, James did not attempt a free throw in Sunday’s game. However, he was efficient, shooting over 50 percent from the field and committing just two turnovers in the Lakers’ 126-99 victory. Over the past two weeks, James has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, unsurprising production for the future Hall of Fame forward. The Lakers play four games for managers whose leagues will be active during Week 23, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.

The Lakers finished Sunday’s victory with six double-digit scorers, including Reaves. He’s scored at least 20 points in three straight games and six of his last seven. Over the past two weeks, Reaves has provided top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Managers in leagues that will be active next week who have him rostered will be pleased that the Lakers play four games during Week 23. They begin their final week of the regular season with a rematch with Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Doncic continues to take better care of the basketball, committing only two turnovers in Saturday’s 126-99 victory. Add in the efficient shooting, and this was one of his better all-around performances since joining the Lakers in February. The good news for Doncic managers whose leagues run through Week 23 is that the Lakers still have seeding to play for, so availability should not be an issue for him. Los Angeles plays four games, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.

As has been the case recently, the Lakers have listed James as probable on the initial injury report. Given the importance of Sunday’s game, fantasy managers can safely assume LeBron will play. As for Bronny, he’s been removed from the injury report but is not likely to log rotation minutes.

LeBron had 27 points on 17 shots including two made three-pointers in 33 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back. The 40-year-old small forward continues to defy NBA history as he’s done his entire career. The Lakers have the day off Saturday before a primetime matchup with the Thunder on Sunday and you can expect LeBron to show out as he always does.

Reaves has had back-to-back games with at least 30 points buoyed by magnificent three-point shooting efforts. He’s 15-of-25 from behind the three-point line over the last two nights. The 26-year-old shooting guard now has at least 30 points in four of his last five games. Reaves has provided third-round fantasy value on the season, but he’s been even better lately. He’s peaking at the right time for fantasy managers.

Doncic’s 35 points were the most he’s had in a game since dropping 45 points on the Bucks on March 13. The 26-year-old point guard went 10-of-21 from the field including four made three-pointers, but also got the foul line 11 times and made all of his free throw attempts. Doncic only turned the ball over twice and hasn’t had more than three turnovers in a game his last seven times out on the court. He’s closing the season on a high note after a rocky middle of the season that included an injury and trade to the Lakers.

Butler has been one of the hottest players in the NBA over the past week from a steals perspective, recording three or more thefts in four straight appearances, including Friday’s season-high tally. Averaging 2.6 steals per game, Butler has provided top-20 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. To say he’s fitting in well with his new teammates is an understatement; with Butler in the fold, the Warriors have looked like a threat to come out of the West this postseason.

Podziemski has scored at least 26 points in three of his last four appearances. Over his past two games, the Warriors guard has shot 12-of-18 from beyond the arc. Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green receive most of the attention, and rightfully so. However, Podziemski’s recent run should not be overlooked as the Warriors look to make a run at a championship. Fantasy-wise, he has been a top-20 player over the past week. He’ll look to continue this recent success on Sunday when the Warriors host the Rockets.

Curry has been on a roll recently, scoring at least 36 points in each of his last three outings. The Warriors star hit at least three field goals in all four quarters, shooting well over 50 percent from the field on the night. According to Basketball Monster, Curry is ranked second in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. The Warriors have another big matchup to end Week 22, as they host the Rockets on Sunday.

Payton II has missed about a week with a torn ligament in his left thumb. The 32-year-old shooting guard missed Thursday’s game against the Lakers, but has been upgraded to questionable Friday and the Warriors are hoping he’s able to return. Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters everyone on the injury report would be available against the Nuggets. Payton II offers minimal fantasy value when healthy.

While it was mentioned last week that Hachimura would be available for future back-to-backs after sitting out a March 27 loss to the Bulls, that is not the case.

Finney-Smith hasn’t been an elite fantasy option, but he’s worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

Reaves’ breakout season continued on Thursday, and he added another milestone to his special year. Though it wasn’t enough for the Lakers to get the win, Reaves set a new career-high for three-pointers made in a game. He only had 12 points in their last game against Houston, but Reaves has now scored at least 30 points in three of the Lakers’ last four games. Over the course of the season, he has provided third-round value in nine-cat leagues and has been a first-rounder of the past two months. He will be an intriguing player heading into fantasy drafts next season.

For just the fourth time this season, Curry shot double-digit free throws, and the Warriors are now 4-0 when he does. In fact, his 14 attempts were a new season-high and the most he has shot in a game since 2021. This performance came on the heels of him scoring 52 points with 12 triples in a win over Memphis, and while Curry didn’t replicate that type of production, his 37 points with only four threes was still impressive. This was only the 12th time in Steph’s career that he had at least 35 points while making four or fewer triples.

Following a one-game absence with a pelvic contusion, Kuminga was back to playing his typical role as a scoring option off the bench for the Warriors. Since returning from a two-month absence, he has scored in double figures without reaching 20 points in nine of his 10 games, with the game where he exited after playing just seven minutes being the only exception. Having Kuminga contribute off the bench has been helpful for Golden State, and the encouraging aspect for dynasty managers is that he is still only 22 years old.

After missing almost a month of games, it has taken Hachimura some time to get back on track. Thursday’s game was a good step as he had his highest-scoring performance since before the All-Star break. Hachimura has been a solid scoring option for the Lakers this season and has been able to maintain the starting job for most of the year. He doesn’t contribute value in many categories, but the points and efficiency have allowed him to be a decent fantasy option for most of the year.

James has had a few quieter scoring performances recently, but Thursday ended up being his highest-scoring game in nearly a month. It didn’t start out well, but LeBron scored 25 of his 33 points after halftime, though it didn’t end up being enough for the Lakers to get the win. The loss dropped them to fourth in the West, and they hold a one-game lead over Golden State heading into a matchup with the Pelicans on Friday. After that, they’ll wrap up the week in Oklahoma City on Sunday in a tough matchup.

Less than a week after setting a new career-high with seven three-pointers, Podziemski eclipsed that mark once again. He got off to a blazing hot start to this game and entered halftime with 22 points and six three-pointers, which included a buzzer-beater from halfcourt to enter the break. His second season in the league started off slow, but the 2023 first-round pick ranks inside the top 50 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks. He’s heating up at the right time for the Warriors and will be an intriguing option in fantasy drafts next season.

Kuminga will be good to go after a one-game absence. He’ll occupy his typical role off the bench, which hasn’t resulted in much fantasy production for him. Buddy Hield and Gui Santos will lose out on some minutes, though neither was productive in an increased role on Tuesday.

James has been upgraded from probable and will suit up in a battle that will have a large impact on the standings out West. The Lakers are currently in third place and only have a two-game lead over the Warriors, who are fifth in the West and hold just a half-game lead over seeds six, seven and eight. The battle for seeding is going to be an exciting one over the final 10 days of the regular season.

Kleber, who had surgery to repair a right foot fracture days before being traded to the Lakers, is inching closer to making his debut for Los Angeles. He was a footnote in the Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis swap, but he could end up being an important depth piece for the Lakers in the postseason. It’s unclear how much longer he’ll be sidelined, but if he does return before the playoffs, it will likely be in a limited role.

Green finished Tuesday’s victory with his first triple-double of the season and was vital during the fourth quarter. The Warriors forward tallied six rebounds and four assists, combining with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler to help pull the team over the finish line. Over the past two weeks, Green has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats despite shooting 39.3 percent from the field. Steve Kerr’s decision to go with Green as his starting center came at a good time for fantasy managers looking to win a championship, as this change has raised Draymond’s ceiling.

While Stephen Curry’s 52/10/8/5/1 night grabbed the headlines, the backup he received from Butler is one reason the Warriors left Memphis with the victory. The 35-year-old forward made all 12 free throws he attempted and provided excellent value in points, rebounds, assists, steals and percentages. The Warriors are now 19-4 with Butler on the court since he was acquired from the Heat in early February. He’s given his new team a needed boost, which can also be said for fantasy managers who stuck with Butler throughout his poor start to the season in Miami.

Curry produced a masterclass in Memphis, making history on multiple fronts. He scored 32 points and hit eight three-pointers in the first half. He has the most halves of at least eight three-pointers in NBA history with six, and his 22 30-point halves are tied for third all-time with LeBron James. By the game’s end, Curry had 12 three-pointers and an elite double-double. He’s made 12 three-pointers in a game four times, with Tuesday’s effort breaking a tie with former teammate Klay Thompson for the most in league history. And Curry has made at least 10 three-pointers in a game 27 times. He’ll look to stay hot on Thursday when the Warriors visit the Lakers.

LeBron didn’t have a huge scoring game, though he hit some clutch free throws to put the game away for the Lakers in the final minute. The 40-year-old small forward added two three-pointers. Since returning from a groin injury, James has struggled a bit in shooting 43 percent from the field against 51 percent on the season. But he just adds so much value in other areas that he’s still returning sixth-round value in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks. LeBron’s legacy is already cemented as one of the greatest players of all-time, but with his production at this stage of his career, he’s become one of the best “old” players in the history of sports.

Doncic’s three-point shot has been off lately as he’s 7-of-28 from behind the three-point line over his last three games. It’s a testament to his typical usage that he’s still managed to score at least 20 points in all three of those games. The 26-year-old point guard was just four rebounds and one assist away from a triple-double against the Rockets Monday. Doncic hasn’t committed more than three turnovers in a game in any of his last five games. He’ll break out of his three-point slump, but the lower turnover numbers are a legitimate positive trend.

Butler did not provide much scoring on Sunday, but category league managers received excellent value in the assist and steals categories. He’s dished out eight assists or more on five occasions since joining the Warriors, so the production in that category was unsurprising. However, the four steals matched his season-high, with Butler hitting that number for the first time since February 10. Over the past two weeks, Butler has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Curry didn’t do much on Sunday, which was bad news for fantasy managers counting on an elite performance to close out Week 21. However, the Warriors did not need much from their superstar, as the team scored 148 points and shot nearly 58 percent from the field. For Curry managers who have a championship to compete for in Week 22, the Warriors play four games. Hopefully, he can rebound from Sunday’s pedestrian performance.

Moody has reached double figures just twice in his last seven games, scoring 20 points on both occasions. While Sunday was a good night for him, the recent dip in production has negatively impacted Moody’s fantasy value. Over the past two weeks, he’s ranked just inside the top 150 in nine-cat formats and just inside that threshold in eight-cat. Moody is only rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that’s unlikely to change heading into Week 22, even with Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) exiting Sunday’s win during the first half. Kuminga played seven minutes, finishing with four points and one rebound.

Podziemski and the Warriors put on an offensive clinic in San Antonio, scoring 148 points on 57.7 percent shooting from the field. The second-year guard led the way, with the 27 points being the most he’s scored in a game since February 5. A double-digit scorer in six straight and eight of his last nine appearances, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. And the lone game in which he did not reach double figures was one he exited after less than a minute with a back injury that sidelined him for nearly two weeks. Golden State plays four games during Week 22, starting with the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

There was concern for some fantasy managers that Reaves would be adversely impacted by LeBron James’ return to the Lakers’ lineup after missing two weeks with a strained groin. This type of performance alleviates those worries as Reaves continues to provide excellent fantasy value, even with James back in the mix. Reaves has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since LeBron’s return, and he’s scored 30 points or more in consecutive games for the first time this season. With all the attention opposing defenses must devote to James and Luka Doncic, things have opened up for Reaves, and he’s taken advantage. The Lakers play four games during Week 22, starting with the Rockets on Monday.

Over the past two weeks, Doncic has provided top-5 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the eight-cat production is unsurprising, Luka’s keeping the turnovers in check has boosted his value in the latter. Averaging 3.8 turnovers per game over the past two weeks, he’s had three or less in four consecutive games, which is his longest streak of the season. If Doncic can continue this trend, fantasy managers looking to close out Week 22 with a league championship will be in an excellent place if they have him rostered.

It was James’ best performance since returning from a groin injury that sidelined him for two weeks. The 40-year-old recorded a complete stat line in Memphis while shooting a shade under 50 percent from the field. A 43.7 percent shooter from the field, James has been a fifth-round player in eight-cat formats over his last five games. That certainly isn’t terrible, but it is a decrease for someone who has ranked just outside the first round in 12-team formats for most of this season. The Lakers play four games during Week 22, starting with the Rockets on Monday.
