Anunoby Questionable for Monday’s Game
OG Anunoby (right elbow injury management) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Warriors. Anunoby appeared to take a hit to the elbow, which was operated on in late January, during Thursday’s win over Portland. While he did play against Sacramento two nights later, he did not look comfortable shooting the basketball. Should Anunoby not play on Monday, Precious Achiuwa would return to the starting lineup, boosting his fantasy value.
Thompson Accounts for 26 Points vs. Lakers
Klay Thompson accounted for 26 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, and five 3-pointers in 30 minutes in Saturday’s win over the Lakers. After starting the Warriors’ previous two games, Thompson returned to the bench on Saturday, as Stephen Curry was back in the lineup. That change didn’t prevent Klay from coming out hot, as he finished the first half with 21 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field.
While far less productive after halftime, Saturday was a reminder of what Thompson can do when he gets rolling. Chris Paul also returned to the bench on Saturday, logging 19 minutes and finishing with eight points, six rebounds, and four assists. CP3 and Thompson will continue to be rostered in most leagues, and rightfully so, as both still have important roles within the rotation.
