Butler struggled in Thursday’s win over the Magic, scoring just five points, and a mid-back strain likely was a factor. He’s questionable to play against the 76ers, and a potential absence would leave a significant hole in the Warriors’ starting lineup. Gary Payton II is a possible replacement due to the need to account for Tyrese Maxey and Paul George defensively.

This was an uncharacteristically quiet performance for Butler, though it was his second in a row. He only had six points on Tuesday, though that can be attributed to it coming in a blowout win where he only played 28 minutes. This low-scoring outing was partially because he shot poorly, partially because Stephen Curry carried the offensive load with 56 points. Butler clearly isn’t going to force the issue when he doesn’t need to. He should be more productive in Philadelphia on Saturday.

Post replaced Moses Moody in the starting lineup to begin the second half and ended up being one of the few Warriors not named Stephen Curry to have a productive night. The production hasn’t come consistently, but Post has had some solid scoring nights in recent weeks. This was one of the best games of his young career, but it is difficult for managers to trust him at this point. He holds more value in dynasty formats than he does in standard leagues.

Steph didn’t get much help in this game, but he really didn’t need it. Curry scored nearly half of Golden State’s points to help them win their fifth straight game. He set a new season-high for both points and three-pointers, and this ended up as the fourth-highest scoring game of his legendary career. This was the third time in Curry’s career that he hit at least 12 three-pointers in a game, which puts him in a tie with Klay Thompson for the most such games. Curry was quiet in Tuesday’s win, which can mostly be attributed to the blowout keeping his minutes down. However, he has scored at least 25 points in eight of the Warriors’ last 10 games.

TJD will be available to play after a two-game absence, but even when he has been active recently, he hasn’t been a large part of Golden State’s rotation. He hasn’t played 10 minutes in a game since January.

Valanciunas did not require much time to record a solid stat line on Wednesday, playing just 14 minutes off the bench. While that is impressive, the playing time and who he’s backing up (Domantas Sabonis) is why JV is not as valuable to fantasy managers in Sacramento as he was in Washington. Sabonis played 34 minutes, finishing with 12 points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and one blocked shot. Unless Domas were to suffer an injury, there’s little reason why Valancinuas should be rostered in 67 percent of Yahoo! leagues as he currently is.

Two nights removed from scoring a season-high 42 points in a rout of the Hornets, LaVine scored a leisurely 22 on Wednesday. He’s scored 22 or more in six of his nine games as a King and has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats since the trade. Sacramento now holds a three-game lead on Phoenix in the loss column for the final play-in spot in the West and is tied with ninth-place Dallas.

With the additions of DeMar DeRozan and (just before the trade deadline) Zach LaVine, no Kings player took a more significant hit to their fantasy value than Murray. He effectively became the fifth option, and that was before Malik Monk was moved into the starting lineup. That made Wednesday’s performance so much fun, as Murray established a new season-high with 26 points. While he remains rostered in 86 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reasons, this was Murray’s first 20-point game since November 24 and his fourth of the season. Over the past three weeks, he has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats.

Sidelined since January 4 with a sprained right ankle, Kuminga has been scrimmaging recently. He’s still awaiting final approval from the medical staff, which means a return could occur during the Warriors’ four-game road trip that begins on Thursday in Orlando. The final game of the trip is on Tuesday against the Knicks.

Jackson-Davis has a chance to return from a two-game absence, though his return won’t have a major impact on fantasy basketball. Draymond Green, Quinten Post and Kevon Looney are all ahead of TJD in the frontcourt pecking order.

Ellis injured his ankle during Monday’s win over the Hornets and was initially questionable for Wednesday night. He’ll occupy his usual place within the Kings’ rotation, which likely means Trey Lyles will see his minutes decrease. As long as the Kings’ starters are healthy, Ellis will offer limited fantasy value.

The game against the Hornets got out of hand fast and most of the Warriors’ key players played 20 minutes or less. This impacted Hield less than most. He was able to have a good game as he poured in 16 points and four three-pointers in only 20 minutes. Hield’s fantasy value is limited coming off the bench, but he’s a reliable scorer and three-point specialist.

While it wasn’t a huge game for Curry, it was a pretty good effort from the 36-year-old point guard in just 24 minutes in a game that got out of hand early. He seems revitalized since the Warriors’ acquisition of Jimmy Butler prior to the trade deadline. Golden State is rolling with four wins in a row and six wins in their last seven games.
