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. Hield usually plays about half as much as he did in the 14-point loss to the Heat, which is why he’s had a minimal fantasy impact this year.

With Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Al Horford all unavailable, the Warriors have multiple holes to fill in their starting lineup. Of the five starters, Podziemski and Moody are the safest options for fantasy managers seeking streamers, but Richard has also been solid this season.

McLaughlin will miss a second straight game with a strained left hamstring, and he does not have a timeline for return. Even with Stephon Castle (hip) out, McLaughlin’s absence does not impact fantasy basketball or the Spurs’ rotation.

Melton has been out since undergoing surgery on his left ACL last December, but a return does not appear to be far off. He has been practicing with the Warriors’ G League affiliate, and the team plans to continue incorporating him into practices as he nears a return. An update will be provided by the Warriors in 10 days. There’s no need to stash Melton in an IL+ slot, but he can be of value once allowed to play without any restrictions.

Hield played through an illness on Tuesday against the Magic and he’s set to do the same against the Heat on Wednesday. The 32-year-old shooting guard is averaging career-lows in minutes, points and three-pointers this year, leaving him off the fantasy radar.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr isn’t shying away from potentially sitting out most of his starters in this game.

Curry mentioned after Tuesday’s loss that he had tweaked his ankle again after tweaking it on Friday as well. On the second night of a back-to-back, he’ll be unavailable. Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler III and Buddy Hield are all questionable, so this could be an incredibly shorthanded lineup for Golden State, where everyone who is available will see a bump in minutes and usage.

While Vassell did not shoot well on Tuesday, the assists and defensive stats are what should be the focus. With Stephon Castle (hip) out for at least one to two weeks, there should be more opportunities for Vassell to serve as a primary playmaker. That was the case on Tuesday, and he only committed one turnover. Vassell’s fantasy value has been low thus far, but Castle’s absence may be what he needs to get things headed in the right direction.

Two days removed from recording his first double-double of the season, Johnson stepped up with another solid outing in the second game the Spurs have played since losing Victor Wembanyama to a calf strain. He hasn’t been the best category league option for most of his NBA career, but Johnson may be worth a look with Wemby and Stephon Castle unavailable. However, one can’t blame those who may want to see more before committing, as Keldon is ranked just outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. He’s rostered in just 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he won’t be hard to find on waiver wires.

If the Spurs were searching for a closer with Victor Wembanyama out, Barnes stepped up to fill the void on Tuesday. With the Spurs trailing by a point with just over three minutes remaining, the veteran forward went on a personal 7-0 run to reclaim control of the game. Keldon Johnson and De’Aaron Fox would score baskets to cap the victory, but Barnes’ performance is what won the game. Rostered in 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s scored 20 points or more in two straight games. Barnes is providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats and is worth a roll of the dice with Wembanyama unavailable.

After a subpar first half in which he scored four points, Fox flipped the switch after halftime. He scored 22 in the second half, the final two coming on a windmill dunk that capped a game-ending 11-0 run. With Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle out due to injury, Fox will be even more important to the Spurs offensively. If he can build on Tuesday’s second-half performance, those who have Fox rostered will be in a great spot.

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. Preserving Horford for the postseason is far more important than playing him a ton early on. This was only the third time this year that he surpassed 25 minutes, and it isn’t surprising that it led to one of his better performances. He should be left on the waiver wire, but he’ll make an impact later on this year for the Warriors.

Butler’s previous season-high of 31 points came in the season-opening win over the Lakers. Since then, this is the only time he has eclipsed the 30-point mark. Butler is certainly capable of pouring in the points on any given night, but he doesn’t always get the opportunity to. He’s having another strong year, and his availability to this point has made him one of the best values in fantasy basketball thus far.

Following his worst performance of the season, Curry was able to respond with a big night. He was able to pour in the points, but it wasn’t enough for Golden State to get the win. Curry’s assists have been down this year, but he was able to set a new season-high for dimes in this game. Fantasy managers will be happy with this well-rounded performance from Steph, even if the Warriors’ three-game win streak came to an end. Curry noted after the game that he tweaked his ankle against the Spurs on Friday and tweaked it again in this game. This was the first of a back-to-back, so don’t be surprised if Curry doesn’t play against the Heat on Wednesday.

Castle, who was injured during the first half of Sunday’s win over the Kings, has been diagnosed with a left hip flexor strain. He’ll be re-evaluated in one to two weeks, leaving the Spurs down two starters as Victor Wembanyama (calf) is also out. Julian Champagnie started the second half on Sunday and is the player most likely to move into the starting lineup. Also, if Dylan Harper can return from his injury ahead of Castle, there may be opportunities for the rookie to provide value following a ramp-up period.

McLaughlin joins the Spurs’ lengthy injury list, as tightness in his left hamstring will keep him out of Tuesday’s game. His absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball.

Castle exited Sunday’s win over the Kings due to left hip flexor soreness, and that issue will keep him out of Tuesday’s game as well. Julian Champagnie replaced the reigning Rookie of the Year in the lineup on Sunday, and he’s worth a look in deep leagues due to the Spurs also being without Victor Wembanyama. The absences should also raise Devin Vassell’s ceiling as he looks to rebound from a slow start to the season.

Kuminga will miss a fourth consecutive game with bilateral patellar tendinitis. Moses Moody has been his replacement in the starting lineup and should retain that role until Kuminga returns.

Wembanyama is dealing with a left calf strain, according to Charania, and will miss the next few weeks. This is a major blow to the Spurs and fantasy teams with the 21-year-old big man. Luke Kornet figures to benefit the most from Wembanyama’s absence as he’ll move into the starting lineup. Durability figured to be a challenge given the Spurs’ center’s size. A shoulder injury limited Wembanyama to 46 games last year and now he’ll miss multiple weeks with a calf injury.

Podziemski has reached double figures in three of the four games he’s played since returning to a reserve role in a November 11 loss to the Thunder. Sunday’s performance was his best, and the third-year guard has provided seventh-round value in nine-cat formats over the past week. Jonathan Kuminga’s absence has opened up additional opportunities for Podziemski, and he’s taken advantage. While he doesn’t need to start to provide solid fantasy value, Podz’s ceiling is lower when coming off the bench and the Warriors are whole.

Green didn’t have the most efficient night, shooting poorly from the field and committing five turnovers. While he provided decent value in the rebound and assist categories, his inefficiency has significantly damaged the Warriors forward’s fantasy value. Through 14 games, Green is shooting 37.3 percent from the field and 58.5 percent from the foul line and averaging 3.2 turnovers per game. Add in the limited offensive output, and he may not be worth the risk in 12-team leagues, especially with the Warriors entering a three-game week.

Golden State scored 44 points in the first quarter and maintained control for most of the night, handling the struggling Pelicans with relative ease. Butler was one of two starters to play more than 30 minutes on Sunday, and all that his final stat line lacked was a blocked shot. The six turnovers were a negative, but Butler has been excellent more often than not thus far. As long as he’s available, fantasy managers should continue to receive value that exceeds Butler’s Yahoo! ADP of 50. The Warriors play three games during Week 5.

On a night when Stephen Curry (9/5/3/0/1 with one three-pointer) shot 2-of-11 from the field, Moody came through with a huge night. And he didn’t take long to get going, hitting seven three-pointers in the first quarter. He’s the third player in franchise history to hit at least seven threes in a quarter, joining Curry and Klay Thompson. Moody, who has started the last three games in place of the injured Jonathan Kuminga, finished with a career-high point total and solid value in the defensive categories. Moody’s fantasy value in the short term depends on Kuminga’s availability, and the Warriors open Week 5 with a Tuesday/Wednesday road back-to-back against the Magic and Heat.

Fox orchestrated a balanced offensive attack for San Antonio, handing out a season-high 11 assists against his former team to help seven different Spurs reach double figures while Victor Wembanyama (calf) was sidelined. The 27-year-old upper-echelon facilitator has averaged 22 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and one steal over five games since making his season debut on November 8. The Spurs have a three-game week coming up with matchups against the Grizzlies, Hawks and Suns.

Kornet drew the starting assignment at center with Victor Wembanyama sidelined due to left calf tightness and wound up delivering his second double-double of the season while logging his most minutes since October 24. The 30-year-old big man carries legitimate streaming appeal in fantasy formats whenever Wembanyama sits, as he’s capable of chipping in on the glass and offers surprising offensive touch as a rim-runner and interior finisher.

Johnson could’ve had an even bigger night if he hadn’t gone 0-for-4 from beyond the arc, as he connected on all seven of his attempts inside it. He grabbed a season-high 12 rebounds to record his first double-double of the year.

Two days after Curry dropped 46 points in a win in San Antonio, he provided an encore. He set new season-highs for both points and three-pointers in what was his best game of the season. Since being held to 11 points in a blowout loss to the Thunder, Curry has responded with 95 points and 14 triples across two games. Poor San Antonio. Up next on this road trip is a stop in New Orleans on Sunday to wrap up this week.

They’ll leave San Antonio with back-to-back wins, and Butler was solid in both.

Champagnie was a solid source of offense off the bench in the loss. He was third in scoring for the Spurs behind Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox, with most of his points coming from behind the three-point line.

Castle was unimpactful from beyond the arc, and used all two-point shots and free throws to finish with more than 20 points on the evening.

“French Vanilla,” the nickname given to the tandem of Kornet and Victor Wembanyama, is back. The former returned to the Spurs’ rotation after missing seven games with ankle and shoulder injuries, and he looked sharp. Kornet played 20 minutes off the bench and was the only Spurs reserve to finish with a positive plus/minus.

After committing at least five turnovers in each of San Antonio’s first four games, Castle has done a better job of valuing the basketball recently. And over his last two games, the second-year guard has recorded 25 assists and three turnovers. Castle has looked good running the show alongside De’Aaron Fox, who has taken on more scoring responsibilities since returning to the court.
