Golden State Warriors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) is out for Saturday's game against the Hawks. The multi-time All-Star had 17 points in Thursday's three-point win over the Toronto Raptors. However, he sustained a pelvic contusion after a hard fall and was ruled out after just 25 minutes of work. Curry underwent an MRI, which didn't reveal any structural damage. But the contusion could be enough to keep him off the floor for at least a few games. Without him, Brandin Podziemski will likely take over at the one, increasing his fantasy potential. Jonathan Kuminga, Jimmy Butler III, and Moses Moody should also see more scoring opportunities.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) will miss the start of the team's six-game road trip, which starts on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Curry's MRI confirmed a contusion in his pelvic area with no structural damage. This comes as great news since Curry would have missed significantly less time if it were the other way around. Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody will see a bump in usage, while one of Jonathan Kuminga and Gary Payton II (knee) could move into the starting five. Podziemski and Moody present the most consistent streaming options, as they've registered a 17.7% and 17.6% usage rate, respectively.

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Payton is dealing with left knee soreness and it appears to be significant enough to hold him out of this contest. Normally, the absence of Payton wouldn't mean too much, but the 32-year-old has been playing 20 minutes or more in six of his last seven games. The expectation is that Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield will absorb the extra minutes. Both are worth a look as streaming options, but Podziemski is probably the choice between the two.
