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.

OCTOBER 29 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

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.

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.

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.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Posts 20 points in opener Wiggins accumulated 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 139-104 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Wiggins has to feel like his job is in jeopardy after the team acquired Buddy Hield, De'Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson in the offseason. To stay with the first unit, he'll need to have nights like he had Wednesday. He successfully dodged a destined decrease in playing time when the team locked in Jonathan Kuminga at the wing, and a big reason for keeping Wiggins on the court is his defensive skill set, which is a hallmark of his game.

Expected to shoot more 3s Coach Steve Kerr said Monday he'd like Wiggins to shoot about six three-pointers per game, Kerith Burke of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact With Klay Thompson out of the picture, the Warriors will turn to other sources for offensive production, especially from deep. Wiggins attempted 6.1 three-pointers per game in 2022-23, but that number dropped to 3.6 last season, his lowest mark since 2016-17. Kerr also said he hopes Wiggins will seize the opportunity ahead of him and emerge as the Warriors' No. 2 scoring option behind Stephen Curry.
