Sat Apr 11 201515:48Barbosa (Achilles) won't play Saturday against Timberwolves
Barbosa (Achilles) won't play Saturday against the Timberwolves, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
Barbosa is resting his sore Achilles for a second game in a row as a precautionary measure with the postseason imminent. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Monday versus the Grizzlies.
Thu Apr 9 201521:13Leandro Barbosa: (Achilles) Out Friday
Barbosa won't play Thursday due to a sore Achilles, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Barbosa will get the night off with a tender Achilles, but the issue is considered minor and it's more just a preventative measure. He should be fine for the playoff stretch, with the possibility of a return to the court Saturday against the Timberwolves.
Sun Mar 22 201503:01Barbosa scored season-high 19 points ( 8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT)...
Barbosa scored a season-high 19 points ( 8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) Saturday, adding two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 28 minutes Saturday against the Utah Jazz.
Barbosa has now scored in double-digits in three straight games since Klay Thompson (ankle) has been out, providing much needed scoring punch off the bench. His 59 percent conversion in those three games is unrealistic, but while Thompson is sidelined, Barbosa should be expected to keep his minutes in the mid-20s. He's also gotten 1.0 steals in his last eights so has some value outside of scoring and with Golden State playing Monday and Tuesday, he could be a nice, short-term add.
Sat Mar 21 201502:47Barbosa scored 12 points (4-of-7 FG, 1-of-2 3Pt) with three rebo...
Barbosa scored 12 points (4-of-7 FG, 1-of-2 3Pt) with three rebounds, four assists and a steal in Friday night's win over the Pelicans. He has four double-digit scoring efforts in his last five games.
A couple of things are at play here. First, with Klay Thompson (ankle) sidelined, Barbosa is getting a bit more run and shooting opportunities. Second, Golden State head coach Steve Kerr is looking to keep his starters fresh for the playoffs and will seek any opportunity to rest them in the final month of the regular season. So, where we normally see Thompson or Stephen Curry playing 35 minutes, Kerr may limit them to the high 20s, thus enabling more playing time for Barbosa.

Barbosa posted 14 points and dished nine assists in 25 minutes of action Friday against the Nuggets.
Barbosa made the most of Stephen Curry (rest) and Klay Thompson (rest) sitting out, and managed to post a solid performance Friday. Still, Barbosa is averaging just 13.5 minutes per game this year, and it will be hard for him to produce when Thompson and Curry return.

Barbosa (illness) was available to take court Wednesday against the Bucks, but ultimately logged a DNP-CD.
Barbosa is averaging just 14.5 minutes per game post All-Star break, and he wasn't able to get playing time in Wednesday's game. He'll be available to go moving forward, but his value will be limited in most fantasy leagues.

Barbosa (illness) is available to take the floor Wednesday against the Bucks, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
After missing Monday's game due to a viral upper respiratory infection, Barbosa will reprise his role as a reserve guard. Since the break, he's averaged nearly 15 minutes per game, but the recent illness could limit him off the bat.
Mon Mar 2 201517:25Barbosa (illness) will be held out of action Monday against Nets
Barbosa (illness) will be held out of action Monday against the Nets, Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Barbosa played only five minutes in Sunday's comeback win over Boston, and he'll be held out Monday while battling a viral infection that prevented him from leaving the team hotel. In his absence, look for Justin Holiday and Andre Iguodala to pick up a few extra minutes. Barbosa should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks back in Oakland.

Barbosa scored 10 points (5-of-10 FG, 0-of-4 3Pt) with one rebound, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes in Wednesday night's win over the Timberwolves.
Barbosa is not anyone's idea of an elite fantasy player, but he can be a useful fringe asset in his limited minutes. He's hit for double-digit scoring in six of the last eight games, having gone 12-of-25 from three-point range. Barbosa's been in and out of the rotation this season, but he's currently the Warriors' hot hand off the bench and will continue to be when the team begins its post-All Star portion of the schedule.
Mon Feb 9 201522:16Barbosa scored 16 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT) to go along w...
Barbosa scored 16 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT) to go along with six rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes Monday against Philadelphia.
Only two of the Warriors starters played over 30 minutes Monday against a bad Philadelphia squad, resulting in Barbosa playing at least 20 minutes for only the second time in his last 10 games. He has produced even in limited minutes though as he has scored at least 12 points in five of his last seven games. His fantasy value is clearly limited though as he's not going to provide much in the way of rebounds, assists or steals on a consistent basis.
Thu Feb 5 201507:32Barbosa scored 14 points (5-of-8 FG, 3-of-4 3Pt, 1-of-4 FT) in 1...
Barbosa scored 14 points (5-of-8 FG, 3-of-4 3Pt, 1-of-4 FT) in 14 minutes off the bench in Wednesday night's win over Dallas.
Barbosa has shot himself back into the rotation, hitting 22-of-36 from the field and 8-of-13 from three-point range in the previous four games. He's averaging 14 points per game during this run.
Wed Feb 4 201504:24Barbosa scored double-digit points for third straight game in Tu...
Barbosa scored double-digit points for the third straight game in Tuesday night's win over the Kings. He scored 12 points (4-of-9 FG, 2-of-4 3Pt, 2-of-2 FT) with three rebounds, five assists and three steals in 22 minutes.
While this game eventually became a blowout, it was early work by the Golden State bench, including Barbosa, that put this thing away by halftime. Barbosa, who has been in and out of the rotation, appears to have moved ahead of Justin Holiday in the backcourt at this point in time. He's typicaly an inconsistent element, but Barbosa can heat up quickly. He's made 17-of-27 from the field, including 5-of-9 from three-point range, during his three-game run.
Sun Feb 1 201510:03Barbosa scored 14 points (7-of-11 FG, 0-of-1 3Pt) in 13 minutes ...
Barbosa scored 14 points (7-of-11 FG, 0-of-1 3Pt) in 13 minutes in Saturday's win over the Suns.
That's two consecutive games with double-digit scoring for Barbosa, who scored 15 points in 13 minutes in Friday's loss to the Jazz. He's been in and out of the rotation this season, but has a hot hand right now -- 13-of-19 the last two games. He's been too inconsistent for head coach Steve Kerr to rely on every game, but he can be a hot hand on any given night.

Barbosa, who had averaged 20 minutes over the previous three games, played just four minutes in Saturday night's 131-106 win over the Rockets.
Barbosa was given some extra run this past week when head coach Steve Kerr rested Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala during a stretch of four games in five nights in different cities. With all hands on board Saturday, Barbosa resumed his normal end-of-bench role.
Thu Jan 15 201506:53Barbosa played ahead of Shaun Livingston in rotation for second ...
Barbosa played ahead of Shaun Livingston in the rotation for a second straight game in Wednesday night's win over Miami. He had nine points, two assists and a steal in 18 minutes.
Livingston has been given a couple of nights off while the Warriors begin a stretch of four games in five nights in five cities, so Barbosa has re-entered the rotation temporarily. If this situation continues Friday night in Oklahoma City, we'll start considering Barbosa, who played five minutes in the four games previous to this week's two-game run, more seriously as a fantasy-worthy player.
Wed Dec 17 201407:09Barbosa did not play in Tuesday night's loss to Grizzlies
Barbosa did not play in Tuesday night's loss to the Grizzlies.
At the start of the season and before a slight knee injury, head coach Steve Kerr had Barbosa in the rotation, giving him about 15 minutes a night. Lately, however, his playing time has dried up. He's played a total of 24 minutes in the last six games, twice being a DNP.
Mon Dec 1 201405:53Barbosa (knee) returned to action Sunday after missing two games
Barbosa (knee) returned to action Sunday after missing two games. He scored eight points in 13 minutes.
Barbosa is part of the team's rotation when healthy but has been dealing with a sprained knee over the past week.

Barbosa's coach Steve Kerr said Barbosa (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against Detroit, Rusty Simmons of The San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Barbosa has not played in the past two games, and was very limited in the previous two games due to his sprained right knee. Expect Barbosa to again be limited Sunday, and likely play around 10 minutes in that contest.
Sun Nov 30 201407:47Leandro Barbosa: (Knee) Questionable Sunday
Barbosa (knee) is questionable to play Sunday in Detroit, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
Barbosa has missed the past two games and played just four minutes in one game since spraining his knee last Sunday.
Fri Nov 28 201421:35Barbosa (knee) received DNP Friday against Hornets
Barbosa (knee) received a DNP Friday against the Hornets.
It's unclear if Barbosa's inactivity was due to his strained right knee or if coach Steve Kerr just didn't want to play him. Barbosa was active for the game, but never made it in. He was one of four Warriors to get hit with the dreaded DNP in a victory.
