Stephen Curry Out Again On Tuesday

According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) will be out of action against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. He will be out for a second consecutive game due to a pelvic contusion. Curry practiced on Monday but is now expected to return Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans, per Anthony Slater of The Athletic. With the superstar guard on the shelf this evening, Brandon Podziemski, Moses Moody, and Buddy Hield will be relied upon to contribute more. Moody had one of his best games of the season on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing a 124-115 loss with 20 points, four rebounds, five assists, one block, and two steals in 35 minutes of work.

Stephen Curry Questionable Tuesday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (pelvis) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Miami Heat. He could be out for a second consecutive game due to a pelvic contusion. Curry practiced on Monday, which is a good sign regarding his potential return. However, he has not yet been officially cleared. Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, and Buddy Hield must contribute more with Curry out of the lineup. Moody had one of his best games of the season on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks, finishing a 124-115 loss with 20 points.

Stephen Curry Ruled Out On Saturday Night

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.

Stephen Curry Set To Miss Start Of Warriors' Road Trip

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.

Gary Payton II Downgraded To Out

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.

Gary Payton II Iffy For Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (knee) has been tagged as questionable for Thursday's encounter with the Toronto Raptors. He is battling soreness in his left knee. If he is not cleared to play, Payton II will miss his second game of the month. Golden State has used Payton II more often in March, as the veteran has averaged 21.6 minutes per game. He has shown off some outstanding shooting form, nailing 62.7 percent of his attempts from the field to average 12.3 points with 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals. Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield will likely get more work off the bench if Payton II is ruled out on Thursday.

Stephen Curry Ready To Return Thursday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (rest) is set to re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors. Golden State rested Curry on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, the veteran star has not been listed on the injury report for Thursday. Although Curry's shooting efficiency has been lacking in recent games, he can still be satisfied with his form. Over nine appearances in March, Curry has averaged 25.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.7 assists, with the team going 7-2 with him in the lineup.

Brandin Podziemski Returning On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (back) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Podiemski is back in the mix after missing each of the last five games due to a lingering back issue. His return will come at a good time with Stephen Curry (rest) heading to the bench on Tuesday night. Podziemski has been playing better in the second half this season with 13.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game over his last 19 contests. Fantasy managers should consider Podziemski a fairly decent streaming option with Curry sidelined on Tuesday.

Stephen Curry Resting On Tuesday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (rest) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee. He had 20 points in Monday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, although he shot a rough 4-for-14 from behind the three-point line. With the Warriors having won their previous seven games before the streak was snapped on Monday night, Golden State will look to Jimmy Butler III and Jonathan Kuminga the most to help the team get back on track. Draymond Green, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody should also see more looks at the basket without Curry on the floor.

Stephen Curry Could Be Rested Tuesday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry may sit out Tuesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Following Monday's 114-105 loss to a short-handed Denver Nuggets, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr noted that Curry needs rest. "He's tired," Kerr said after Curry logged 35 minutes against the Nuggets. "Steph's been carrying us for a month. He's been amazing. He's tired, so we got to get him some rest. Just you can see it. He doesn't have his energy right now." Curry was limited to 20 points on horrible 6-for-21 shooting Monday night. Brandin Podziemski (back) is expected to return on Tuesday and could slot straight into Curry's spot in the starting lineup. Jimmy Butler III and Draymond Green are expected to take on more playmaking duties if Curry sits out the game.

Quinten Post Available Monday Night

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (ankle) will be active on Monday against the Denver Nuggets. He has shaken off a questionable tag that Post received on the initial injury report due to ankle soreness. Post will go up against a Denver frontcourt that will be without Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle), which puts him in a favorable position to perform well. Over his last five appearances, Post has averaged 8.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 21.2 minutes per game.

Stephen Curry Good To Go Against Nuggets

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (back) is set to play in Monday's matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors leader is dealing with a lower back strain but has been listed as active for the contest. It remains to be seen whether Curry will also be healthy enough to play on Tuesday when Golden State completes a back-to-back against the Milwaukee Bucks. In recent weeks, Curry has taken his play to a new level, averaging 26.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 6.6 assists this month.

Brandin Podziemski On Track To Return Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (back) is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters on Saturday that Tuesday's matchup is "the target" for Podziemski's return. He has been listed as out for Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. Podziemski, who will miss a fifth consecutive game on Monday, will eat into the minutes of Moses Moody, Buddy Hield, and Gary Payton II once he returns to the lineup.

Quinten Post Uncertain For Monday

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. The Dutch rookie has landed on the injury report with ankle soreness. Post has been a regular in the rotation lately, offering low-tier fantasy value. He has averaged 9.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.8 minutes since the All-Star break. If Post sits out Monday's game, the Warriors could use Kevon Looney more behind Draymond Green, although head coach Steve Kerr might also choose to utilize smaller lineups.

Stephen Curry Questionable To Play On Monday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (back) has received a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The two-time MVP is dealing with a back issue, which may keep Curry sidelined for the first time since Jan. 28. If Curry isn't cleared to play, Buddy Hield would likely see an increase in playing time, while Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kuminga, and Moses Moody will be expected to contribute more on the offensive end.

Jonathan Kuminga Upgraded To Available On Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Kuminga is available to play after missing the last 31 games due to a right ankle sprain. That being said, Kuminga is going to be eased back into action after a two-month absence. Head coach Steve Kerr didn't say exactly how limited Kuminga would be on Thursday, but it'll likely be short stints during his first game back. Gui Santos figures to lose streaming appeal especially once Kuminga is back up to full speed.

Brandin Podziemski Out On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (back) will not be available for Thursday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. The second-year player injured his back last week and will miss a third consecutive game. Buddy Hield and Gary Payton II are getting extra work off the bench with Podziemski out. Both players impressed in Monday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, combining for 46 points off the bench. Payton II led the team with 26 points on 11-for-16 shooting.

Jonathan Kuminga Set To Return On Thursday

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) plans to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. Kuminga has missed 31 straight games recovering from a sprained right ankle. The 22-year-old will be back for the final stretch run of the season. He should provide a boost for fantasy managers waiting for his return. Kuminga averaged 20.5 points in his last 14 outings before suffering the ankle injury.

Jonathan Kuminga Continues To Progress But Still No Timetable On Return

Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports that despite Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) practicing on March 5th, there is still no timetable for his return. "He has to feel right. He has to feel healthy. He has to feel explosive. We can't rush that." Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that regarding Kuminga. The 22-year-old hasn't played since January 4th due to a right ankle sprain. Golden State will be at home for six games in a row starting Monday against Portland, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on updates, as Kuminga could certainly return before the end of the week.

Brandin Podziemski Ruled Out For Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (back) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Podziemski only made it through a minute of Thursday's contest before suffering a back injury. It appears to be significant enough to hold him out of Saturday's game. His next chance to play will be against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. In the meantime, Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield figure to see increased run in the rotation. Hield dropped on dud on Thursday, but is the more appealing streaming choice between the two players.
