Scores 14 points on 14 shots Thompson had 14 points (5-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 104-100 victory over Dallas.
Impact Thompson didn't have his best shooting performance Tuesday and needed 14 shots to score 14 points while also struggling badly from the three-point line. However, the veteran sharpshooter continues to have an offensive impact, even in games where his shot isn't falling off. Thompson has scored in double digits in his last nine contests while averaging 18.9 points per game in that span.

Probable for Tuesday Thompson is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks with right foot tendinitis.
Impact The "probable" tag suggests Thompson should be able to see decent minutes and handle his regular workload Tuesday, but the Warriors will nonetheless exercise caution with the veteran. Thompson is averaging 18.5 points per game while shooting 38.4 percent from deep over his last 10 games.

Good to go Sunday Thompson (knee) has been cleared for Sunday's game against San Antonio, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Thompson will return from a one-game absence due to right knee tendinitis, while Jonathan Kuminga (knees) will be unavailable Sunday. Thompson has only played in one game without Kuminga this season, which yielded 15 points on 13 shots in 32 minutes of action against Orlando on Wednesday.

Questionable to face San Antonio Thompson (knee) is questionable to face the Spurs on Sunday.
Impact Thompson was a late scratch before Friday's game against the Hornets due to right knee tendinitis, and it remains to be seen if he can feature against the Spurs. Chris Paul could stay in the starting lineup if Thompson can't play Sunday.
MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE
Late scratch Friday Thompson won't play Friday against the Hornets, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Impact Thompson was scratched after the Warriors released their starting lineup, but the severity of the knee issue remains unclear. Chris Paul will slide into the starting lineup to replace Thompson, but Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and Gary Payton are also candidates for increased roles.

Gets starting nod Thompson is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Heat, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Impact Thompson will replace Brandin Podziemski in the starting lineup Tuesday. Thompson is averaging 12.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 27.7 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.
MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE
Solid output off bench in loss Thompson registered 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 123-111 loss to Indiana.
Impact Thompson has been thriving in a bench role for the Warriors of late, and he's surpassed the 15-point mark in his last four outings with the second unit. He's averaging 20.1 points per game while shooting 44.1 percent from the field as a bench option, so he's widely expected to continue in that role moving forward.
MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE
Supplies 23 from second unit Thompson finished Wednesday's 137-116 victory over Memphis with 23 points (9-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 25 minutes off the bench.
Impact The 34-year-old guard has begun spotting back into the starting five, starting four of 10 games in March, but he was back on the bench Wednesday. On the month, Thompson is averaging 17.8 points, 3.8 threes, 2.5 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.9 minutes a contest, and his days as a consistent 20 PPG fantasy asset could be over.
MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE
Turns in 18 points Thompson closed with 18 points (6-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 119-112 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Thompson's perimeter game was on point during Monday's loss. The sharpshooter has drilled five-three pointers in four of his last six games, resulting in a six-game average of 20.8 points. That figure is over three points higher than his seasonal average of 17.2 points. The veteran is struggling with a 38.5 percent three-point conversion rate this season, matching a career low.

Thrives in second-unit role Thompson finished with 26 points (9-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Saturday's 128-121 win over the Lakers.
Impact Thompson has been alternating between the starting lineup and the second unit in recent days, but he should stay as a bench alternative if Stephen Curry stays healthy, as Steve Kerr wants Thompson to provide a scoring punch off the bench. That was exactly the case Saturday, as he posted 25 or more points for the third consecutive game he came off the bench. He's averaging 20.3 points per contest when deployed with the second unit this season.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Moves to second unit Thompson will come off the bench for Saturday's game versus the Lakers, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Impact The Warriors are rolling with Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green for Saturday night, and this will likely be the lineup that is utilized the most going forward.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Poor shooting display Wednesday Thompson totaled eight points (3-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 loss to Dallas.
Impact Thompson struggled badly from the field and missed 10 of his 13 shots, including five of his three-point attempts. Even though Thompson delivered some impressive performances off the bench, and knowing he shouldn't post these numbers on a regular basis going forward, it's clear he's struggling when tasked with a bigger role on offense. He'll hope to bounce back against the Lakers on Saturday.
