Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (back) will play in Tuesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. He was listed as questionable because of lower back soreness. However, the injury isn't anything new, with Wiggins already missing time during the 2024-25 campaign because of it. The 2014 No. 1 overall pick has played well this season, averaging 15.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and a career-high 41.0% shooting from behind the arc. He's a must-start, although his presence will mean fewer minutes for Buddy Hield and Kyle Anderson.
Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (back) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Mavericks. A lower back problem could keep Wiggins sidelined for the third time this season. He missed a pair of games last month with the same issue. If Wiggins is out on Tuesday, we should see more of Buddy Hield, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody. There might also be extra action available for Jonathan Kuminga, who has recently impressed with back-to-back 20-point games. Meanwhile, Hield has gone cold lately, while both Moody and Podziemski have been inconsistent.
Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (knee) has picked up a questionable tag on Friday for their contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former Defensive Player of the Year hasn't missed a game yet this year and has anchored one of the best defenses in the league again. A lot of his numbers are down in his 13th season, but his all-around skills are still conducive to category leagues. If Green can't play, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Kevon Looney, and Kyle Anderson will all see some extra minutes.
Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will miss a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Boston. He's battling a lower back problem, leaving the Warriors without a versatile backcourt option. Moses Moody, Buddy Hield, and Brandin Podziemski (illness) are all in a position to benefit. Hield, who has scored 20-plus points in four consecutive games, deserves the most attention from fantasy managers. Melton's next chance to return comes on Friday versus Cleveland.
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) will return for Monday's game against the Wizards. The sharpshooter has missed the last three games because of a sprained right ankle. But he had been progressing even more over the last few days, so fantasy managers had a feeling he was on his way back. While there is a chance Curry will see fewer minutes than usual in his first game back, he remains a must-start. Brandin Podziemski, who will likely head back to the bench, is still worth adding to any fantasy lineup.
