Starting at San Antonio Lee will start Saturday's game against the Spurs, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Lee gets the nod with Klay Thompson (Achilles) sidelined. In four starts this season, Lee has averaged 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes.

Scores 11 off bench Lee had 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 28 minutes during Sunday's 109-90 win over the Kings.
Impact When the Warriors are at full strength, Lee has not been a part of the regular rotation of late, but with Klay Thompson resting he had an opportunity to see a significant jump in minutes. Lee is still capable of popping for decent stat lines when the opportunity is there, but he hasn't been much of a factor in season-long formats.

Wizards hand Warriors 5th loss in 6 games, 123-115
Corey Kispert scored 16 of his career-high 25 points in the first half, and the Washington Wizards beat the struggling Golden State Warriors 123-115MARCH 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pops for season-high 22 points Lee ended Wednesday's 118-104 victory over Miami with 22 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes.
Impact Lee stepped things up on the offensive end, going off for a season-high 22 points. With both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on the sideline, Lee made the most of his opportunity. While he can be a sneaky source of points when afforded sufficient playing time, his role is far too inconsistent at the present time. Looking ahead, he is only a name to monitor in deeper formats.

Back to bench Tuesday Lee will come off the bench Tuesday against the Clippers, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Impact The Warriors' regulars are back, so Lee will resume a bench role. His past nine appearances off the bench have yielded 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 20.3 minutes per game.

Draws chance to start Lee is starting Monday's game against Denver, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Impact Lee hasn't seen any action over his team's last two games, but he's sure to see a full workload Monday with four of Golden State's usual starters out. This marks his fourth start of the 2021-2022 regular season.

Clear to play Thursday Lee (quadriceps) is available for Thursday's game at Dallas.
Impact Lee was questionable for Thursday's contest with a bruised right quad but has been cleared to take the court versus the Mavericks. He's averaged 7.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 19.6 minutes off the bench over his past five appearances.

Questionable for Thursday Lee is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to a right quadriceps contusion.
Impact It appears Lee is dealing with a bruised right quad following Tuesday's loss to the Timberwolves, so it's unclear if he'll suit up for Thursday's tilt with Dallas. If he can't go, more minutes could be available for Moses Moody (eye) and/or Gary Payton.
MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Efficient off bench in loss Lee racked up 15 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Lee finally ended a streak of seven straight games with single-digit scoring figures, though single digits might stick around a little longer. He hasn't been known for his efficiency of late, and in fact, he has scored in double digits just six times since the beginning of 2022 while starting just once in that span.
MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Puts up 21 points in win Lee provided 21 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 124-120 win over the Spurs.
Impact With the Wizards holding out all but one of their usual starters, Lee moved up to the top unit and delivered a strong effort across the board. However, with both Stephen Curry (toe) and Klay Thompson (rest) likely to return to the lineup Thursday against the Kings, fantasy managers shouldn't be rushing to the waiver wire to pick up Lee on the heels of Tuesday's performance.
FEBRUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Tuesday Lee will start Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Lee is making his first start since Dec. 20, as the Warriors are dealing with absences to Stephen Curry (toe), Klay Thompson (rest) and Andrew Wiggins (knee), not to mention Draymond Green (back). In the five games this season that Lee has seen 30-plus minutes, he's averaged 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists.
FEBRUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Scores 12 off bench Lee ended Sunday's 94-92 win over the Jazz with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes.
Impact Lee continues to play a key role for the Warriors off the bench, and he saw a slight uptick in offensive responsibility with Klay Thompson (knee) sitting out for the second straight game. Since Thompson made his season debut Jan. 9, Lee has played at least 20 minutes in five of eight appearances, but he's scored in double digits only twice.
