Mon Nov 21 202207:42Klay Thompson Turns Back The Clock Sunday
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson played like his old self on Sunday versus Houston, hitting 10 treys and leading all scorers with 41 points in a 127-120 win. Thompson last scored more points in a regular-season game in January 2019. The veteran sniper shot 14-for-23 overall from the field and capped off his night with four rebounds, three assists and two steals. The Splash Brothers were in full swing here as Stephen Curry went for 33 points. The defending champions are back in action Monday against New Orleans and Thompson has yet to play both games in a back-to-back set, so he'll likely head to the sidelines to cool off a bit. But the five-time All-Star should be brimming with confidence right now and will look to terrorize the Clippers and Utah later in the week.

Wed Nov 16 202221:54Klay Thompson Returns On Wednesday
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (rest) returns for the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran sharpshooter is back in the starting five after sitting out on Monday due to rest purposes. Thompson has been off to a slow start, but fantasy managers shouldn't give up on him. Jordan Poole should move back to the bench and won't have as much streaming appeal with the second unit. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Thompson back in their lineups on Wednesday.

Mon Nov 14 202217:33Klay Thompson To Rest On Monday
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Warriors have decided to give Thompson a rest day. Jordan Poole should see increased playing time and usage with Thompson sitting this one out. Poole hasn't played up to the level many expected, but he should continue to be rostered in most fantasy formats. DFS players should consider Poole as an option with extended playing time.

Fri Nov 4 202214:56Klay Thompson Won't Suit Up Friday
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) has officially been listed as out along with his backcourt mate Stephen Curry. In what seems like a rest day, he'll be out for injury management on his right Achilles tendon. Jordan Poole and Moses Moody will most likely get most of the minutes, but we could even see Ty Jerome and Ryan Rollins. The former would be the two to target as the biggest beneficiaries in the backcourt.

Fri Nov 4 202209:55Klay Thompson Drains Seven Threes On Thursday
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson came out firing on all cylinders against the Orlando Magic on Thursday night. The 32-year-old ended the game with 27 points, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal while going 10-for-24 from the floor and 7-for-15 from beyond the arc. At this point in his career, it feels normal whenever he hits more than five threes in a game. His consistency since his major injuries isn't what it once was, but he still should be rostered in all fantasy formats. There are not many players better for threes in a category fantasy league.

Sun Oct 30 202216:33Klay Thompson Sitting On Sunday
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) won't play on Sunday against the Pistons. The Dubs played on Saturday night in the loss to the Hornets, so the veteran will get the night off. Jordan Poole (ankle) is questionable because of a sprained right ankle, making it possible he also sits this one out. If that's the case, Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga may be more involved, although both remain risky fantasy options.

Wed Oct 26 202211:05Klay Thompson Gets Ejected For The First Time
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson was ejected from Tuesday's game for the first time in his career. The game was not going Thompson's way in the first place. In the 19 minutes that he played, he was only able to make one of his eight shot attempts and only added two assists and one block. During the third quarter, he was having words with Devin Booker for a good stretch of time and then went to the bench with some words for the refs. He was promptly ejected after that. Hopefully, there weren't too many fantasy managers relying on his production on Tuesday night.

Tue Oct 18 202221:59Klay Thompson, Draymond Green Likely To Be Limited
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson and forward Draymond Green are expected to be somewhat limited during Tuesday' season opener. Neither player is dealing with an injury, but the team doesn't want to push it. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned that Thompson and Green are unlikely to exceed 30 minutes during Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Both players have a long history of injuries, so the Warriors are going to be extremely cautious with them. They should be fine for standard leagues, but DFS players might not get full value out of them.

Sat Oct 15 202213:14Klay Thompson Makes Preseason Debut
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson made his preseason debut on Friday. The veteran sharpshooter registered 17 points, three rebounds, and one assist during Friday's preseason loss to the Denver Nuggets. It's nice to see Thompson back on the court and playing well. His shooting percentage was down last season, but Thompson should continue to carry consistent fantasy value. The only downside is he'll likely receive a decent amount of rest days along the way.

Thu Oct 13 202221:43Klay Thompson, Draymond Green To Play On Friday
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson and forward Draymond Green will play during Friday's preseason matchup against the Denver Nuggets. This will mark Thompson's preseason debut after being eased back into action. The veteran sharpshooter hasn't done any 5-on-5 work during the offseason. It sounds like the Warriors have been extremely cautious with Thompson. Despite that, it appears Thompson will be ready for the season opener. As for Green, he'll return to the team after stepping away for a bit. This will be his first game action since his incident with teammate Jordan Poole. The Warriors haven't given many details about that situation, but the expectation is that Green will continue to start for the Warriors.

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson lit up the box score during Thursday's Game 5 against the Dallas Mavericks. The All-Star guard finished with 32 points and knocked down eight triples in the victory. This shouldn't come as a surprise considering Thompson has been solid throughout the postseason. He helped his team close out the Mavericks and will head to the NBA Finals.

Tue May 3 202209:16Klay Thompson Upgraded To Probable For Game 2
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Game 2 against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday. The veteran is currently battling right knee soreness. It's unclear when he first sustained the injury, but it's unrelated to the ACL tear in his left knee that kept him sidelined for over a year. Thompson struggled in Game 1, shooting just 6-for-19 from the field over 31 minutes. He did, however, contribute three assists, two steals and one block in the game.

Mon May 2 202222:36Klay Thompson Battling Knee Soreness
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's playoff meeting with Memphis. The sharpshooter is currently dealing with right knee soreness. Fortunately, it's not the same one he injured during the 2019 NBA Finals. Thompson's s current ailment seemingly came out of nowhere, so his name popping up on the injury report is likely only a formality. However, if he can't play, Gary Payton II and Jordan Poole will likely benefit the most.

Mon Apr 11 202210:43Klay Thompson Notches 41 Points
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson made sure to finish off the regular season on a good note. He dropped 41 points, three rebounds, two assists, seven triples in 31 minutes during Sunday's victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.

Sun Apr 10 202218:39Klay Thompson To Return On Sunday
Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (rest) will suit up for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Thompson missed their previous game for rest purposes, but will get back in action on Sunday. The Warriors need to win this game in order to lock up the third seed. Damion Lee is likely to head to the bench with Thompson returning. Although, Lee should still have relevance in fantasy formats with a majority of the starting unit hitting the sideline.

Sun Apr 3 202219:15Klay Thompson Not Suiting Up On Sunday
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson (Achilles) will be getting the day off on Sunday as the team faces the Sacramento Kings. This is a rest game for Thompson, who played 39 minutes in Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He powered the team towards a win in the game, dropping 36 points, including eight three-pointers. Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins will be leaned on more than usual with Thompson out. We should also see Jonathan Kuminga and Gary Payton II receive extra minutes to fill in, though both Kuminga and Payton are a bit risky for fantasy purposes.

Mon Mar 28 202214:49Klay Thompson Won't Play On Monday
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.

Sat Mar 26 202209:06Klay Thompson Knocks Down Season-High Nine Triples Friday
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.

Sun Mar 13 202210:27Klay Thompson Splashes Season-Best Eight Threes, 38 Points
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.

Wed Mar 9 202209:04Klay Thompson Logs Season-High 34 Minutes In 20-Point Outing
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.
