Free-agent forward Dario Saric agreed to a two-year, $10.6 million contract with the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Saric appeared in 64 games with the Golden State Warriors last season, averaging 8.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while shooting 37.6% from behind the arc. With the Nuggets losing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in free agency, adding the 30-year-old will help lessen the blow. His presence will also bolster a bench that wasn't very deep during the 2023-24 campaign. With that said, Saric should get a few starts in 2024-25. Yet, he's not anticipated to be a consistent fantasy producer.
Golden State Warriors power forward/center Dario Saric (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Saric has been a solid bench player for Golden State, but he has missed the last 11 games while dealing with right-knee soreness. The Warriors would benefit from Saric's return since Draymond Green is also questionable for the game, and depth may be weakened. However, it is unlikely Saric will have much of an impact when he does return. Names like Trayce Jackson-Davis and Jonathan Kuminga will have more fantasy value than Saric, and that only increases if Saric misses another game.
Golden State Warriors forward Dario Saric (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It appears Saric is going to miss at least one more game due to right knee soreness. When healthy, Saric hasn't been a big factor in the rotation or fantasy basketball this season. He'll likely fall behind Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kevon Looney once he is cleared to play again.
Golden State Warriors forward Dario Saric (knee) has been downgraded on Friday and will not play against the Charlotte Hornets. He was originally listed as questionable with a knee issue but has since been ruled out along with Jonathan Kuminga (knee). Both of them were enduring knee soreness and it seems as though the pain was enough to sideline them. Saric missing time won't shake up the rotation all that much as Trayce Jackson-Davis should continue to start in Kuminga's absence while Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody are the first two off of the bench. Kevon Looney will probably see a bit of time, but not enough to make him a must-play.
Golden State Warriors forward/center Dario Saric (knee) is a game-time decision for Friday's contest with the Hornets due to right knee soreness. Saric has played in three of the last 10 Golden State games, averaging 0.7 points, 0.3 assists, and 0.3 rebounds in 5.3 minutes per contest. If the 29-year-old suits up, Saric will get limited minutes on the court and should not be on any fantasy manager's radar for all fantasy formats.
Golden State Warriors forward/center Dario Saric (illness) appears ready to return to the lineup on Monday versus Brooklyn, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Lester Quinones has been a regular in the rotation for a couple of games, with Saric missing, but he will likely be pushed back to the end of the bench on Monday. Saric has been one of the best bench performers in the league this season, averaging 10.2 points and 5.5 rebounds with 2.6 assists in 20.5 minutes. He could play a larger role on Monday if Andrew Wiggins (ankle) misses the game. The Warriors have him listed as doubtful.
Golden State Warriors center Dario Saric (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Saric is dealing with a general illness and will hope to feel better for the second night of Golden State's back-to-back set on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. The 29-year-old Croatian big man's absence frees up 20.5 minutes per game and should solidify Jonathan Kuminga's role in the Warriors starting five. Reaching double scoring figures in 24 straight games, Kuminga is averaging 25.1 points on 61.9% field-goal shooting, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals through his last seven outings since Jan. 12 and belongs in all fantasy lineups while he's rolling.
Golden State Warriors forwards Jonathan Kuminga and Dario Saric will move back to the second unit ahead of Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Superstar guard Stephen Curry (knee) is back, so he'll return to the starting five and play alongside Chris Paul. Also, Kevon Looney will join the starting five after posting a double-double during Thursday's game. Both Kuminga and Saric have been decent options off the bench this season. Both could have possible streaming value for Saturday's slate.
Golden State Warriors forward Dario Saric will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Saric played well on Sunday and it appears that was enough for the Warriors to trust him with the starting nod here. It's uncertain if this is a matchup move or if the Warriors plan on starting Saric long term. Regardless, he could have some streaming appeal here especially without Stephen Curry (knee) on the court. Kevon Looney will head to the second unit and won't have as much value off the bench.
Golden State Warriors forward Dario Saric will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors have a void to fill with Draymond Green (personal) being ruled out for this game. In his absence, Saric will move into the starting unit and see increased playing time. This season, Saric is averaging 8.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 18.8 minutes. He could be a possible low-end streaming option with an extended role on Wednesday.
