Green suffered a sprained foot during Friday’s game against the Trail Blazers. He’s been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Jazz and there’s no firm timetable on his return yet. Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post figure to be the most likely replacements with Post offering more of a fantasy ceiling.

Looney is dealing with a right heel contusion, but is available for Monday’s game against the Bulls. The 29-year-old power forward will have his usual bench role backing up Derik Queen.

Hawkins has played nearly 18 minutes per game since James Borrego took over as the Pelicans’ coach. The 23-year-old guard will be out Monday as he’s dealing with a personal matter. Hawkins’ absence will impact the Pelicans’ rotation, but won’t change much from a fantasy basketball perspective.

Looney, who has a right heel contusion, played 14 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. If cleared to play on Monday, he’ll take on a similar role, which does not affect fantasy basketball. If Looney sits, DeAndre Jordan may pick up a few minutes backing up starter Derik Queen.

Jones has a strained right calf, and that’s an injury that can cost a player multiple games. Rookie Micah Peavy moved into the starting lineup for Saturday’s loss to the Hawks, and while the production wasn’t there, he did play 27 minutes. Peavy is only a watchlist player if he gets another opportunity to start on Monday, and that is generous.

Kuminga has missed Golden State’s last five games with bilateral patellar tendinitis. Following Sunday’s practice, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said the forward wasn’t moving well, and he’s unsure when Kuminga will be able to play. The team may get imaging on Kuminga’s knees, so fantasy managers should consider him out indefinitely until the Warriors provide further clarity. Moses Moody has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he’s worth a look in deeper leagues.

The Warriors face the Jazz on Monday in the first of three games scheduled for Week 6. Horford has been more important to the Warriors than to fantasy managers when healthy, so the impact of his absence on the latter will be minimal. With Draymond Green dealing with a sprained foot, the Warriors will need to call on Quentin Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis for more production in the short term.

While there was no official information provided on how much Green was able to do during Sunday’s practice, he suffered a sprained foot during Friday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. If he’s unable to play on Monday, Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post are potential replacements in the Warriors’ starting lineup. Post offers a higher fantasy ceiling due to his superior offensive skill set.

The Pelicans came out lifeless on the second night of a back-to-back, starting three rookies for the first time this season with Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Herb Jones (back) sidelined, and quickly fell behind by 10 at halftime. Queen was one of the lone bright spots, eclipsing the 20-point mark for the third straight game. New Orleans has dropped nine straight games and sits at a brutal 2–15 on the season. They’ll open a four-game week on Monday against the Bulls before matchups with the Grizzlies, Warriors and Lakers.

For the first time this season, the Pelicans won’t have Jones in their starting lineup. Saddiq Bey and Jordan Hawkins are two players whose minutes may increase due to Jones’ absence, with the former offering a higher fantasy ceiling. However, neither player is a must-stream option in this spot.

Jones popped up on the injury report as questionable with a back injury on Saturday afternoon. The 27-year-old small forward is known as one of the best wing defenders in the league, but his offensive struggles persist. Jones is shooting a career-low 39 percent from the field in 16 games so far this season.

Zion played 29 minutes and had 22 points against the Mavericks on Friday. The 25-year-old power forward will sit out the second game of a back-to-back against the Hawks on Saturday with left hamstring injury management. Saddiq Bey should see additional minutes Saturday with Williamson out.

Murphy helped New Orleans race out to an early lead in this one as he went off for a game-high 15 points in the first half before cooling off down the home stretch as their lead evaporated for good. The 25-year-old’s name has surfaced in trade rumors recently and he would seemingly be the most impactful non-Zion trade asset for the franchise if they continue their present trajectory and are forced to pivot towards the future. The fact that they gave up next year’s first-round pick over the summer to land Derik Queen in the draft.

Williamson looked much sharper in his second game back following an eight-game absence earlier this month with a hamstring injury as he shot a robust 78 percent from the floor and got to the free throw line for 11 attempts. The 25-year-old possesses the upside to be one of the most impactful players in the fantasy landscape but persistent injury issues continue to prevent him from reaching his lofty ceiling. He was limited to just 29 minutes in this contest and fantasy managers should expect the Pelicans to keep a governor on his workload for the immediate future.

Queen is showing exactly why the Pelicans paid a king’s ransom to jump back into the first round for him, averaging 17 points, 7.8 rebounds, six assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks over his last four games — delivering fourth-round value for fantasy managers during that stretch. The 20-year-old lottery pick has stepped into a significant role for New Orleans and has topped 20 points in three of his last six outings. He delivered the first double-double of his career in this one, and an unconventional one at that, handing out 11 assists from his frontcourt spot. He’s not going to morph into a fantasy superstar overnight, but the trajectory is unmistakable — his arrow is pointing straight up.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Heat, Butler recorded a solid stat line against the Trail Blazers. Availability has been a concern in the past, but the only two games he’s missed this season have been part of back-to-backs. Butler’s return meant that Gui Santos was bumped to the bench, and he received a DNP-CD. Golden State won’t play another back-to-back until the end of Week 7, so Butler managers should be able to get in a solid run of games.

Moved back to the bench on Friday after starting Wednesday’s loss to the Heat, Podziemski provided solid value against the Trail Blazers. He recorded his second 20-point game in as many outings while also recording three steals. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Podziemski is providing 11th-round value in nine-cat formats this season. The production hasn’t been great, but he’s worth having while the Warriors await Jonathan Kuminga’s return from bilateral knee soreness.

Curry had it rolling to begin Friday’s game, hitting six three-pointers and scoring 23 points in the first half. Portland did a better job defensively after halftime, but the Warriors guard still notched his second 30-point game in as many outings. Curry’s return pushed Brandin Podziemski to the bench, but both were productive to the delight of fantasy managers. The Warriors are done for Week 5 and will open Week 6 on Monday against the Jazz.

Hield played 31 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Heat, but the Warriors were without Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. With those three available for Friday’s contest, Hield’s playing time will likely decrease. At best, he’s an option for deep-league managers needing three-pointers.

Curry, Butler and Green are back after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Heat, with Moody and Richard joining them in the starting lineup.

While he is dealing with an illness, the probable tag suggests Hield will be cleared to play.

Green was one of many key Warriors to sit out Wednesday’s loss to the Heat. He’s on track to return, which would push Trayce Jackson-Davis to the bench. With the Trail Blazers starting Donovan Clingan at the center position, the Warriors may start Quinten Post alongside Green for matchup reasons.

Curry has tweaked his ankle in the last two games he’s appeared in, which factored into the guard sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Heat.

Not only did Zion go through a full practice, but he “came in early to get extra work in.” Borrego “said the team still hasn’t determined if Zion will be cleared to play in back-to-backs,” and the Pelicans will also take on the Hawks on Saturday, so the team may be determining which game they’d like him to suit up for. The Mavericks game feels more winnable and, thus, like the more likely game for Zion.

The Pelicans are just 2-13 and are tied for the second-worst record in basketball; however, they do not control the rights to their own first-round draft pick after the move to trade up and get Derik Queen this past draft. Sidery reports that “rival executives believe the Pelicans could net three first-round picks and multiple high-end prospects in return for Murphy.” That kind of package would be enticing to a team that is at the bottom of the standings with no upcoming first-round draft pick.

Murphy has had at least three turnovers in each over his last four games. The 25-year-old small forward is averaging a career-high 2.1 turnovers this year.

Queen continued to start even with Zion Williamson back in the starting lineup. The 20-year-old center is showing the highs and lows of being a rookie lately as over his last five games he’s had at least 26 points twice and less than 10 points three times. Queen figures to continue to start under interim coach James Borrego, but his play still remains inconsistent.

Podziemski had the opportunity to start with the Warriors missing most of its starting lineup against the Heat. The 22-year-old guard had 20 points on 19 attempts in the loss, but also chipped in eight rebounds. It was his first game with at least 20 points since October 27 against the Grizzlies. Podziemski is likely headed back to the bench for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Hield had 18 points in 31 minutes against the Heat on Wednesday. With the Warriors down multiple starters, the 32-year-old shooting guard had season-highs in points and minutes.

Horford’s role this year has been too limited and inconsistent for him to be rostered in standard leagues, but it certainly isn’t because he isn’t capable.
