Moody’s back injury is new, and his addition to the injury report just hours before tip-off means he’s in danger of sitting out against Denver. If Moody is sidelined, Buddy Hield and rookie Will Richard could be in line for an expanded role. Richard popped off for 30 points on Wednesday in his first career start.

Moody dropped a season-high point total on Wednesday, helping pick up the slack with Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green all sidelined. Moody has scored 20 points or more in two straight games for the first time since January 7-10, 2024. Rostered in six percent of Yahoo! leagues, he is ranked just outside the top-75 in nine-cat formats. However, with his opportunities being dictated in part by the availability of the Warriors’ stars, that rostered percentage won’t move much in the aftermath of Wednesday’s performance.

There were three openings in the Warriors’ starting lineup, as Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green aren’t available. Podziemski, Moody and Richard are the replacements, and all three are worth streaming due to the lack of healthy options at Steve Kerr’s disposal.

Moody’s opportunities increased during Tuesday’s game, as Jimmy Butler could not go during the second half. Credit Moody for taking advantage, scoring a season-high 24 points on 70 percent shooting. His final stat line only lacked a blocked shot, and he may have streaming value for Wednesday’s game in Sacramento. In addition to Butler’s back injury, Stephen Curry has been dealing with a cold the past few days. If both sit, Moody will be worth streaming in some 12-team leagues.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game, Moody’s status has been updated to available. And that’s a good thing for the Warriors, as he’s coming off a 20-point game in Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. Due to Moody being cleared to play, rookie Will Richard will miss out on a potential boost to his playing time.

Moody, who missed the season’s first two games with a calf injury, is back on the injury report, this time for a sore right thumb. If he’s unable to play against the Bucks, more playing time may become available for rookie Will Richard, who performed well in extended minutes when Moody was out with the calf injury.

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.

Moody, who injured his left calf during the preseason, missed the first two regular-season games. His return gives the Warriors additional depth on the wings, possibly resulting in fewer minutes for Will Richard. The rookie played 17 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Nuggets. While Richard’s playing time won’t impact fantasy basketball, Moody’s return will, especially as his minutes increase.

Moody did not play in the Warriors’ final three preseason games or Tuesday’s season-opening win over the Lakers, as he’s recovering from a left calf injury. A return to action may not be far away, with Kerr revealing that Moody could play on Friday. Rookie Will Richard played 14 minutes off the bench Tuesday night; he may be the player most likely to lose out on minutes if Moody returns Friday night.

On October 13, Steve Kerr said that he was “not too concerned” about Moody’s calf issue, but apparently the injury is a bit more serious. It’s unclear how long Moody will be sidelined, but until he returns, Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield will be candidates for extended playing time.

According to Slater, the Warriors are hopeful to have him back for the start of the regular season, and Steve Kerr said he’s “not too concerned.” If Moody is forced to miss time to start the season, Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield would presumably be in line for additional minutes.

Moody, who sometimes played with his right hand wrapped late in the season, was dealing with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb. According to the Warriors, Wednesday’s procedure was successful, and Moody is expected to be a full go when training camp begins in September. While he has not been a consistently impactful fantasy option, the Warriors guard appeared in 74 games this season and established career-best averages in points, assists, steals and three-pointers. Moody won’t be a must-draft player in standard leagues, but he’ll be worth a look in deeper formats.

Moody was pushed out of his starting role for the last three games, but with Steve Kerr benching his starters early in the third quarter, Moody took on a larger role. He ended up having his highest-scoring performance of the season and helped make the score look a bit more respectable for Golden State in what was an ugly loss. Kerr has never been shy about changing his lineups, so we’ll see if this performance earns Moody more minutes in Game 6 on Friday.

One of the interesting decisions in the first two games of this series was Houston assigning Alperen Sengun to Moody defensively. After attempting four three-pointers in Game 1, Moody put up six on Wednesday, making three. According to the TNT broadcast during the game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr wants Moody to attempt at least eight per game with Houston using Sengun to defend him. With Jimmy Butler’s (pelvis) status for Game 3 undetermined, Moody’s willingness to put up shots could be crucial. The series resumes on Saturday in San Francisco.

Moody is good to go after his back tightened up during the pregame shootaround on Tuesday afternoon. He’ll take on his usual role within the Warriors’ starting lineup, offering limited value next to Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Brandin Podziemski.

Moody started for the Dubs until late March but has averaged just 8.8 points and 3.1 rebounds over his previous nine games. Gary Payton II is most likely to slide in as an undersized but capable wing defender if Moody is ruled out.

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.

Moody is one of the shooters who boasts a higher ceiling with Stephen Curry (pelvis) out of the lineup. After scoring 20 points on 6-of-21 shooting in his three previous appearances, the Warriors wing matched that tally while making over 50 percent of his attempts on Saturday. Rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Moody has provided top 100 value over the past two weeks. Curry is not guaranteed to return during Week 21, which makes Moody a worthwhile addition in deep leagues.

Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Moody has taken advantage of the opportunity afforded to him after Brandin Podziemski strained his back. Since March 6, Moody has been a top 70 player in eight-cat formats and a top-50 player in nine-cat. Counting Saturday’s victory, he’s reached double figures in five straight games. With the Warriors targeting Tuesday for Podziemski’s return, Monday’s matchup with the Nuggets could be Moody’s last opportunity to log starters’ minutes.
