Golden State Warriors center Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) has been cleared to play on Wednesday versus Orlando, while forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will miss the action. Both players were initially regarded as questionable for the game. Jackson-Davis returns from a one-game absence after he missed Tuesday's matchup against Miami. The 24-year-old rookie has carved out a good role for himself this month, averaging 10.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 23.0 minutes. However, he will be in a tricky spot to produce good numbers on Wednesday, as the Magic give up the second-fewest points and the fourth-fewest rebounds in the league to centers.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and center Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) are questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Orlando Magic. Both players are experiencing knee soreness, which could leave Golden State's frontcourt shorthanded against Paolo Banchero. Jackson-Davis is at risk of missing a second straight game, which would allow Kevon Looney to maintain reserve minutes from the Warriors' bench. Given the team's lack of depth in the frontcourt to begin with, the Dubs could be forced into a greater rate of small-ball units, with Draymond Green monopolizing center minutes. The 34-year-old veteran has been a dependable nine-category fantasy player lately, averaging 8.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in 29.6 minutes over his last 10 games, but Green takes on a Magic team that's giving up the fourth-fewest FanDuel points to opposing centers.
Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody (knee) has been tagged as questionable for their Friday matchup against the Indiana Pacers. Unfortunately, for his fantasy value, the rest of the team is healthy, so if he does end up playing he's not the best option in the fantasy playoffs. If he has to watch from the sidelines, however, Brandin Podziemski, Chris Paul, and Klay Thompson will likely split up the vacant minutes. There could be one path to playing time if Moody gets to play and that would have to be a blowout in favor of either team.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) is considered probable for Friday night against the Indiana Pacers. The veteran has been able to play in each one of the last three games and he'll extend that streak to four. All of the starters should be healthy for this matchup and the Warriors have a lot of ground to make up if they want to avoid the play-in tournament. Green hasn't been much of a help in the scoring department lately, but over the last three games he's averaging 10.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. He remains a must-start in average or bigger fantasy leagues,
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) will play on Wednesday against Memphis. The veteran recently admitted he's battling a back issue, seemingly indicating there's a chance he could miss some games moving ahead. There's also the potential of a premature absence if the back injury flares up during the contest. But Green has averaged just 8.8 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 6.0 assists this season, all down from the 2022-23 campaign, which should be a bigger deterrent for fantasy managers. That said, Green's availability will at least be enough to keep Kevon Looney off the floor.
