Thybulle injured his left thumb during Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. Further examination revealed a torn UCL, prompting Friday’s surgery. While he does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, Thybulle’s absence may result in a few more minutes for Kris Murray and Rayan Rupert. Neither is worth adding in redraft leagues.

Castle did not record a season-high point total on Thursday, but one can argue that this was his best all-around performance. The reigning Rookie of the Year shot over 50 percent from the field and recorded a complete stat line while committing a season-low two turnovers. In San Antonio’s first four games, Castle was responsible for at least five turnovers in each. His role will change once De’Aaron Fox recovers fully from his hamstring injury. Still, the key for Castle will be efficiency, regardless of who’s available.

Butler, who’s scored at least 20 points in five of Golden State’s first six games, recorded his first double-double of the season on Thursday. He’s looked sharp and motivated thus far, which is a good sign for the Warriors and fantasy managers with Butler on their rosters. His Yahoo! ADP of 50 may have been conservative, but with good reason. So far, those who were willing to draft Butler are benefiting from their decision to do so.

While Kuminga has averaged at least 15 points per game each of the last three seasons, the 2025-26 season has a different feel thus far. His role is solidified, which has led to Kuminga better navigating the balance of getting his offense and understanding that things still revolve around Stephen Curry. Rostered in 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Kuminga is providing middle-round value in 12-team formats. Now would be a good time for some holdouts to grab JK off the waiver wire if he’s available.

Curry led the Warriors in scoring on Thursday, getting back over the 20-point mark after totaling 35 in the previous two games. He’s averaging 27.0 points per game through six games and providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats. And Curry has done this despite his playing time decreasing slightly. He’s averaging 31.1 minutes per game, which would be Curry’s lowest average since the 2011-12 season (not counting the 2019-20 season in which he played five games). With the Warriors’ goal being to ensure that Curry’s healthy and fresh for the stretch run, some fantasy managers may be concerned. There’s no need to be.

Sharpe is dealing with a sore left calf, only playing 24 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. But the probable tag suggests he’s closer to playing on Friday than not. If he cannot play, that may open the door for Jerami Grant to move into the starting lineup. While Grant has been a starter in recent seasons, the move to the bench has increased his fantasy value substantially.

Williams has a realistic chance of playing on Friday in what would be his first appearance of the season. While the Time Lord has high fantasy potential, the inability to remain healthy has made him a challenging player to rely on. If Williams can play, rookie Yang Hansen would likely take a hit, but he’s struggled thus far.

Thybulle sprained his left thumb during the first half of Wednesday’s win over the Jazz, exiting after five minutes and not returning.

While Sharpe scored 18 points on Wednesday, the overall line was disappointing. For the first time in five games, he failed to record an assist, steal or blocked shot. Outside of points and three-pointers, there was no value to be had regarding fantasy basketball. The good news is that this hasn’t been the norm for Sharpe; it would be unsurprising if he bounced back on Friday against the Nuggets.

While Avdija’s final stat line was solid, there were issues. He missed all five of his three-point attempts, but the six turnovers were more concerning, especially for managers in nine-cat leagues. Thus far, Avdija’s averaging 3.8 turnovers per game, which is why he’s only a top-75 player currently. However, punt the turnovers and he’s providing top-50 value. The decision to start Avdija over Jerami Grant (18/3/1/2 with three three-pointers in 25 minutes) has benefited both parties, with the latter surprisingly being a third-round player in nine-cat formats.

The move from Boston to Portland seems to have brought Holiday’s fantasy value back to life. He’s scored at least 21 points in three consecutive games, something the veteran guard did not do last season. Still rostered in just 54 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Holiday is providing third-round value in nine-cat formats. Of course, there’s the question of what will happen once Scoot Henderson returns from his hamstring injury, but fantasy managers should not worry about that right now. If Holiday is on your waiver wire, pick him up.

Playing their second game in as many nights, the Warriors were able to manage the minutes of their key players due to the nature of Tuesday’s victory. Butler and Draymond Green (7/7/4/3 with one three-pointer) were the only players to hit or exceed 30 minutes, and both were done by about the five-minute mark in the fourth quarter. Through five games, Butler is providing third-round value in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 50.

Kuminga’s production on Tuesday was modest, but that doesn’t erase the fact that he’s gotten off to a good start. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided top-100 value over the first week of the regular season. And Kuminga has made a positive impression on Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. Kerr was complimentary of the forward before Tuesday’s game, saying that JK will retain his place in the starting lineup “going forward.” That’s good news for Kuminga and the fantasy managers who hoped he could lock down a consistent role.

While fantasy managers may not have been thrilled with Curry’s final stat line, the Warriors were probably over the moon that he only needed to play 26 minutes in the second game of a back-to-back. The sharpshooter was efficient, and the assists and steals will undoubtedly boost those competing in category leagues. Golden State hits the road for a two-game road trip, finishing Week 2 with games against the Bucks and Pacers.

Playing their second game in as many nights, the Warriors will go with a bigger lineup to begin Tuesday’s matchup with the Clippers. Post moves into the starting lineup, bumping Brandin Podziemski to the bench. Those who have the latter rostered should not be too concerned; he’ll still play plenty. As for Post, his fantasy potential is limited since Al Horford is available. Horford will be limited to 22 minutes.

Thybulle will miss a second straight game with a sore right hip. During Monday’s win over the Lakers, fellow reserve Kris Murray played 24 minutes off the bench.

Clingan logged his best performance of the season against the Lakers. Efficient shooting inside the arc led him to a season-high in points, while a huge seven-rebound performance on the offensive glass allowed him to set a new season-high in rebounds and finish as the only player in Monday’s contest to reach double-digit rebounds. The second-year center has performed well following a less productive season opener. He’ll have a chance to string together consecutive double-doubles against the Jazz on Wednesday.

Make that back-to-back games now for Holiday, for which he’s registered at least 21 points, five rebounds, six assists, and three three-pointers. The two-time NBA champion is enjoying a bit of a bounce-back season from a fantasy basketball standpoint, now operating as a high-usage point guard for Portland after mostly taking a backseat in Boston in previous seasons. Portland has played well through four games, and if it continues to win games, it’s easy to see Holiday remaining in a crucial role for the Blazers.

Avdija did a little bit of everything in the win over the Lakers. He led all Trail Blazers in threes, points, and blocked shots in his 32 minutes of game action. The athletic forward has become one of Portland’s most consistent and productive players in his second year with the team and doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Avdija has now scored at least 20 points in all four of the Blazers’ games thus far and tallied three or more triples in three of those contests.

Moody knocked off the rust in his second game back in the lineup to log his first 20-point game of the season. He shot the ball efficiently in his 22 minutes of game action and produced a very strong 12-point third quarter to help Golden State build a double-digit lead and a nice cushion the rest of the way. Moody enjoyed a career-best 2024-25 season as a scorer and could have a similarly productive campaign in his fifth NBA season.

Podziemski utilized the three-point shot to conclude the victory as one of four Warriors to score at least 20 points on Monday. He was most productive as a scorer in the opening quarters of each half, but he also contributed throughout as a facilitator.

Horford remains on a plan that has him sitting out one game of back-to-backs.

One of the bright spots for the Warriors’ offense on Friday was their ability to produce from the three-point line. Green trailed only Stephen Curry in total made threes on the night and has now made six threes this season. He also functioned well as one of the main facilitators, although his five turnovers are notable in regard to fantasy basketball. Still, Green had a solid outing in his 21 minutes, which could have been even better if the lopsided score hadn’t limited his time on the court.

Father Time does not appear to have a hold on Curry just yet. On the second night of a back-to-back, the former league MVP dazzled from beyond the arc and scored efficiently overall before finishing with his second straight game of at least 35 points. Curry’s production came in just 27 minutes of play, likely due to the large deficit the Warriors sustained deep into the second half. Nonetheless, the veteran guard was productive on both ends of the floor and logged another strong fantasy basketball performance.

Avdija was Portland’s leading scorer in Friday’s victory. He dominated both inside and outside the arc in his 29 minutes while also being able to make a difference as a playmaker. His four makes from beyond the arc were especially noteworthy, and a positive sign for fantasy managers after the veteran forward didn’t convert on either of his six three-point attempts in the season opener.

There is no timeline yet for how long Billups might be away from the team, but it’s safe to assume that Splitter will be running the show for an extended period of time.
