Good to go against Dallas Wiggins (back) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks.

Game-time call Tuesday Wiggins is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a low back strain.

Impact Wiggins missed time earlier in the month due to the same injury, so it appears he hasn't been able to completely get over the issue. The Warriors are sure to monitor his status closely as he goes through morning shootaround and pregame warmups. Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga would take on more prominent roles if Wiggins is ultimately ruled out.

Strong showing Sunday Wiggins posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 win over the Thunder.

Impact Wiggins bounced back from a subpar showing in the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday, and he has reached the 15-point mark in three of his last five appearances. However, the inconsistencies and the lack of efficiency have limited Wiggins' upside of late. He's averaging 13.0 points per game while shooting just 36.4 percent from the field since the beginning of November.

Poor shooting in Monday's win Wiggins contributed five points (1-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 18 minutes during Monday's 125-112 win over the Wizards.

Impact Wiggins suited up for a second straight game after missing back-to-back contests against the Pelicans due to a back issue. While he was solid in his return to action Saturday, posting 15 points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 31 minutes during a win over Houston, the veteran struggled to generate anything Monday and was held to only 18 minutes. Buddy Hield (28) and Jonathan Kuminga (25) both saw more minutes than Wiggins off the bench.

Good to go Wiggins (back) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Impact As expected, Wiggins has been upgraded from probable to available and will make his second straight appearance after missing two games. On Saturday against the Rockets, Wiggins posted 15 points (3-9 FG), three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 31 minutes. The Warriors are getting Stephen Curry (ankle) back Monday night, so that likely means less usage but better floor spacing for Wiggins.

Probable for Monday Wiggins is probable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to a right low back strain.

Impact The back strain caused Wiggins to miss two straight games before he returned to action Saturday against the Rockets, posting 15 points (3-9 FG), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes. He'll likely remain a regular on the injury report, but barring a setback, Wiggins should continue to play through the back issue.

Will return Saturday Coach Steve Kerr said Friday that Wiggins (back) will return to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Wiggins missed a back-to-back set against the Pelicans due to a back issue but will return to action Saturday for the shorthanded Warriors, who remain without Stephen Curry (ankle) and De'Anthony Melton (back). Over his first three appearances, Wiggins has averaged 19.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 25.0 minutes.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Saturday Wiggins (back) is probable for Saturday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Wiggins is dealing with a lower back strain that held him out of two-straight matchups. However, the 29-year-old is progressing toward a return to game action, and he will likely give it a go as the club is still without Stephen Curry (ankle) and De'Anthony Melton (back) for Saturday.

Out Wednesday Wiggins (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact A lower back strain will sideline Wiggins for his second consecutive contest. Lindy Waters is coming off of 21-point effort in his absence, while the quartet of Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga will also shoulder additional load in the offense.

Officially a game-time decision Wiggins (back) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Wiggins is dealing with back tightness, and a decision on his status will be made following his pregame warm-up routine. Stephen Curry (ankle) and De'Anthony Melton are already unavailable for Golden State on Wednesday.

Officially ruled out Wiggins (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact As expected, Wiggins won't play in the first half of Golden State's back-to-back set and should be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's rematch against New Orleans. With Stephen Curry (ankle) and De'Anthony Melton (back) also sidelined, Buddy Hield, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and Kyle Anderson are all candidates for increased roles.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Tuesday Coach Steve Kerr said Wiggins (back), who's listed as questionable, is unlikely to play Tuesday against the Pelicans.

Impact Wiggins is considered day-to-day due to a lower back strain, but it sounds like he'll miss at least one game. Stephen Curry (ankle) and De'Anthony Melton (back) have already been ruled out for Golden State's upcoming back-to-back set against New Orleans, so Buddy Hield, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and Kyle Anderson are all candidates for increased workloads.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Wiggins (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Wiggins is dealing with a lower back strain, but he's considered day-to-day. With Stephen Curry (ankle) and De'Anthony Melton (back) slated to miss the next two games, Wiggins could see a heavy bump in usage if he gets the green light to play through his back issue.

Leads Warriors in scoring Wiggins had 29 points (11-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Wiggins led the Warriors in scoring, and this could be a recurring situation if Stephen Curry (ankle) is forced to miss time. Wiggins has reached the 20-point mark in two of his first three outings this season, and he's bound for an uptick in his usage rate in the coming games as one of the few proven scoring weapons in the Warriors roster.
