Golden State Warriors DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo.com, the 76ers have shown interest in Indiana Pacers guard Buddy Hield. The 31-year-old makes $18.5 million and is in the final year of his contract. At the same time, Philadelphia has several expiring contracts, making a deal between both teams possible heading toward the trade deadline. Hield has averaged 12.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 25.7 minutes per game, some of the lowest marks of his career. Although he'll likely have more than a few productive fantasy showings if he remains in Indiana, his ceiling will increase significantly from a move to Philly, a team that could be without Joel Embiid for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) has been listed as probable for their Friday night contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. The knee contusion seems to be more of a formality injury listing because it doesn't seem severe enough to make him miss a game. Green has been playing some heavy minutes lately and will likely be called upon again on Friday as Dario Saric (illness) has been ruled out. Despite a low point total, Green has been contributing in many ways since he returned from suspension. Over his last five games, he's put up averages of 8.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.0 blocks, 1.0 made threes, and 2.2 turnovers per game.

Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody (calf) has been cleared to return to team practices on Tuesday. Moody is getting closer to a return after being sidelined since January 10 due to a left calf strain. He won't play on Tuesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Although, Moody could be back within the next few games. Moody had inconsistent minutes before the injury, so his fantasy value is shaky. It's worth noting that Chris Paul (hand) is still sidelined, so that could lead to an increased role for Moody. Fantasy managers can use a wait-and-see approach here.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga recently expressed his displeasure with how the organization is handling his development and playing time. However, the team is reluctant to trade him. Reportedly, Golden State would want an All-Star level player or an overpayment of draft capital to lure the 21-year-old lottery pick from the Bay Area. With a logjam of both Andrew Wiggins and Kuminga in the roster rotation, the team could benefit from unloading one of them, as the numbers of lineups when they are together on the floor are not favorable. Kuminga is coming off a career-high 31 points on Thursday, just a day after his perfect 11-for-11 shooting performance.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry won't play on Saturday night versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran sharpshooter logged 35 minutes in Friday's win over the Chicago Bulls, finishing with 27 points and nine assists. However, he won't be available on Saturday to rest. With Chris Paul (hand) and Moses Moody (calf) also out, Brandin Podziemski will presumably handle most of the work at the one spot. With Podziemski's anticipated bump in usage, he will be a must-start in all fantasy formats. Additionally, Andrew Wiggins, Dario Saric, and Jonathan Kuminga could crush their DFS values without Curry on the floor.
