Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (rest) won't be available for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This appears to be a scheduled off day in the second game of the back-to-back set. That being said, fantasy managers don't have to worry about any long term injuries with Thompson. Damion Lee or Gary Payton II will likely move into the starting five on Monday. Neither have great upside, but Payton could be a possible low-end streaming option with extended minutes.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson was uber-aggressive offensively during Friday's loss to the Hawks, as he set a season high with 26 field-goal attempts, with 16 of those coming from long range. To his credit, he knocked down nine threes en route to a game-high 37-point performance, adding in seven rebounds and three assists across his 40 minutes of action. Thompson has enjoyed elevated offensive duties since Stephen Curry (foot) went down, but the combination of his propensity to shoot at will alongside his highest minutes total of the season bodes well for the sharpshooter entering the playoffs. On paper, he'll have a tough matchup Sunday vs. Washington, who has allowed the opposition the fewest made threes per game (10.4) in the league this season.

Golden State Warriors small forward Klay Thompson had his entire offensive arsenal firing during Saturday's win over the Bucks as he set new season highs with 38 points and eight made triples. While Stephen Curry was held under wraps for a season-low eight points, Thompson became the focal point and shot 15-for-24 overall, all while adding in six rebounds and five assists. One of the game's premier sharpshooters, Thompson had entered play shooting just 23.3% from behind the arc over his last four contests; that was quickly squelched by his 8-for-14 night shooting from long range, his most makes in any outing since March 8, 2019. Next up is an outing against Washington on Monday, which has yielded the second-fewest made threes (10.9) to opponents on a nightly basis this year.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Klay Thompson returned to action for Tuesday's victory over the Clippers and played a season-best 34 minutes, a significant step in his return to full game action. Thompson finished with 20 points as well, but he scuffled from the field to the tune of going 9-for-23 overall and 2-for-9 from behind the arc. With that being said, Thompson's track record speaks for itself moving forward, especially as he begins to find his footing in longer stretches of playing time. It remains unlikely that he will play in both legs of Golden State's four remaining back-to-backs this year, but his DFS appeal is rising entering Thursday against Denver as his time on the floor continues to trend upward.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (rest) won't be available for Monday's meeting with the Nuggets in Denver. With the team playing its first of consecutive outings, the veteran will get the night off. Stephen Curry (hand), Andrew Wiggins (foot), Draymond Green (back), Andre Iguodala (back), and Gary Payton II(knee) also won't play. As a result, Jonathan Kuminga, Otto Porter Jr., Jordan Poole, and Juan Toscano-Anderson will see a significant increase in fantasy interest.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Klay Thompson (illness) has been given the green light to play in Thursday's game against the Mavericks, confirming his earlier insistence that he would be taking the floor. Thompson missed two outings due to an illness, with his return likely to keep Jordan Poole as the top scoring option among the second unit. In his last meeting with Dallas, Thompson knocked down three triples en route to finishing with 15 points and six assists across 26 minutes. While Golden State is unlikely to fire up the sharpshooter for significant minutes allotments anytime soon, he remains a strong DFS asset for managers eyeing players with solid floors of production.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (illness) has missed the team's last two games due to an illness. However, he is with the team in Dallas right now and he told the press on Wednesday that he'll be back on the court for Thursday's game against the Mavericks. Thompson told Anthony Slater of The Athletic, "I didn't come all the way to Dallas to watch." The five-time All-Star explained that he had a "raging headache" after the team's game last Thursday and proceeded to get "really sick." However, he's feeling better now and he's clearly gearing to go. Thompson is currently listed as questionable for the game, but it seems likely that he'll play, so fantasy managers can confidently put him back in their lineups.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The All-Star guard has been playing well lately, but remains on a strict 30-minute restriction. Moses Moody, Jordan Poole, and Otto Porter Jr. should all benefit, assuming Thompson is unable to play. Poole has the highest upside out of the three players. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see how Thompson feels on Sunday before the team makes a final decision.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson will remain on a minutes limit for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Thompson is coming off multiple significant injuries, so it's not surprising to see the Warriors being cautious with him. Heading into the All-Star break, Thompson was restricted to 30 minutes per game. That will remain the same coming out of the break. Thompson should remain a reliable fantasy asset, but it doesn't sound like the Warriors plan to increase Thompson's minutes.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson will be getting the day off on Wednesday as the team faces the Utah Jazz. The Warriors have a pair of back-to-back games on Wednesday and Thursday, so it's not surprising to see Thompson resting on the front-end of the two-game set. With Thompson out, Jordan Poole is likely to be elevated into the starting five and he's worthy of a DFS play even in a tough matchup against the Jazz. Jonathan Kuminga, Otto Porter Jr., Gary Payton II and Damion Lee could also see extended play. Kuminga is an intriguing DFS option in his own right.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson has had his playing time cap elevated to 30 minutes ahead of Monday's game against Oklahoma City. Thompson has scored in double figures in each of his 11 appearances this season, averaging 16.3 points and 2.8 made triples per contest. It remains unlikely that the Warriors will thrust Thompson into back-to-backs for the time being, but he stands to continue serving as a significant asset in the DFS market when cleared. With the Thunder allowing the fourth-most three-point attempts (38.5) of any team in the league during 2021-22, Thompson's elevated DFS appeal begins Monday.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (rest) will play in Monday's game against the Rockets and sit out Tuesday's contest against the Spurs. Warriors guard Jordan Poole will benefit from Thompson's absence in Tuesday's road game, and the third-year guard is worth starting in standard fantasy formats, as he is averaging 16.8 points per game and career-highs across the board.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. He wasn't listed on the injury report heading into this contest after sitting out due to rest purposes on Friday. However, Thompson likely experienced knee soreness while warming up, which will force him out of action here. The Warriors are going to be extremely cautious with Thompson considering his injury history. Jordan Poole should slide back into the starting five on Sunday. He'll have some streaming appeal without Thompson available on Sunday.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. Thompson was rested during the second game of the back-to-back set on Friday. That means, he'll return on Sunday and shouldn't be limited at all. His return should push Jordan Poole to the second unit, while Damion Lee won't play as much. Fantasy managers should double check and make sure Thompson is back in their lineups for this game.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson is not listed on the team's injury report ahead of Thursday's contest vs. Milwaukee, an indication that the sharpshooter will play during the nationally televised portion of the team's back-to-back. The Warriors have not yet given Thompson the thumbs up to play on two consecutive nights, which means he will be held out Friday against the Bulls. Thompson has played 20 minutes in each of his first two games back, firing up a combined 31 field-goal attempts. His offensive aggressiveness has made him a reasonable DFS commodity in spite of the capped minutes total. Season-long managers will have to navigate the back-to-back element, with Golden State having three additional such instances before the All-Star break.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) has been cleared to take the floor for Sunday's contest against the Cavaliers. Thompson's much anticipated return will mark his first game action since June 13, 2019, and he has since undergone two season-ending surgeries. While Thompson has been practicing with the team, fantasy managers can anticipate him having his minutes heavily capped out of the gate. One of the game's all-time elite three-point shooters, Thompson will garner appeal in all season-long formats, while his DFS rostership is likely to remain low for the time being. Jordan Poole will likely slide to the second unit, which may actually elevate his offensive upside, while minutes for Damion Lee may become scarce.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) is getting closer to a return to game action, with Adrian Wojnarowski and Baxter Holmes of ESPN reporting that the sharpshooter is likely to suit up come January. Many fantasy managers had been optimistic of a potential Christmas Day return, but Wojnarowski points to Jan. 9 and 18 as days that the Warriors could deploy Thompson for his first in-game action since June 13, 2019. It's highly unlikely that Golden State hands Thompson a significant minutes load out of the gate, so his fantasy expectations can be tempered until at least the second half. Still, if there are available spots, it may be time for aggressive fantasy managers to eye snagging Thompson off the waiver wire.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) has been cleared to practice fully. The veteran hasn't played since June of 2019 because of multiple injuries, specifically knee and Achilles ailments. With the latest update, he is expected to return a week before the Christmas Day matchup against the defending Western Conference Champs, the Phoenix Suns. Nonetheless, this is great news for fantasy managers, albeit Thompson should see his minutes monitored closely upon his return, meaning the surging Jordan Poole should remain nearly as productive for a little longer.

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) and center James Wiseman (knee) will not be traveling with the team during the Warriors' upcoming road trip. Warriors coach Steve Kerr broke the news to reporters on Sunday. The Warriors have four home games coming up this next week, then they go on the road for four games before returning home on Sunday, November 21. Thompson and Wiseman are both progressing from their respective injuries and we now know that their earliest return could be on November 21. Kerr said that both players will be on a program in San Francisco to "ramp things up" while the team is on their road trip. He also added that he is unsure if Wiseman will return directly to the Warriors when he's ready or if he will play in the G-League first.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) isn't anticipated to participate in full-contact practices until November, at the earliest. The veteran is working his way back from a torn right Achilles, and although there have been rumblings he may be back for the Christmas Day meeting against the Phoenix Suns, the team will undoubtedly continue to play it safe moving forward. In the meantime, Jordan Poole will probably continue to get minutes as a member of the starting lineup and should be classified as a viable option in fantasy formats of all types. On the other hand, Thompson is certainly worth a stash, even though he won't log an entire campaign.
