Warriors without Steph
Jordan Poole DK $6,200 – FD $7,400
Jordan Poole is expected to step up for the Golden State Warriors as their star player, Stephen Curry, is out with an injury. With Curry off the floor, Poole has taken on a larger role as the team’s primary ball-handler and shot taker, with a usage rate of 35%. He has shown his worth in the starting lineup, averaging 28.1 points on 21.3 shots per game and putting up over 38 fantasy points in 15 games without Curry. With a favorable matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who allow the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards, Poole is a must-have in all fantasy formats, especially on DraftKings with his lower price tag.
Klay Thompson DK $7,000 – FD – $7,600
Klay Thompson is also expected to pick up the slack for the Warriors with the absence of Stephen Curry. Despite two underperforming games, Thompson has still shown his ability to score and put up big fantasy numbers, averaging 22 shots per game and over 40 fantasy points in his previous 13 games before the recent dip in performance. With the high-scoring potential in this game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have a 237-point game total, Thompson is a great option for all fantasy formats and could potentially bounce back with a big game.
Draymond Green DK $6,400 – FD $7,400
Draymond Green is another Warrior set to benefit from the absence of Stephen Curry, and he has already been producing solid fantasy numbers over the past 11 games, averaging over 35 fantasy points and shooting at an impressive 53.6% success rate. He had a strong performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder just last Monday, putting up 38.8 fantasy points. With Curry off the floor, Green has been averaging 33 fantasy points per 36 minutes and the Thunder have a favorable matchup, allowing the sixth-highest offensive efficiency rating to power forwards and over 47 fantasy points per game to the position. With their tendency to give up a lot of rebounds on the road, Green is a great option for fantasy players in all formats, especially with his mid-range price tag on DraftKings and FanDuel.
