Makes most of starting opportunity Moody registered 30 points (10-23 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 131-124 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Moody was inserted into the starting lineup with Golden State electing to rest four starters, and the rookie guard shined with a career-best 30 points in the competitive loss. The 19-year-old came into the contest with just one 20-point game under his belt, so this was an unexpectedly explosive offensive performance for him. Despite the big game, Moody will likely drop back to a quiet reserve role when the Warriors' usual starters return to action Tuesday.

Top scorers square off in Los Angeles-Golden State matchup

MARCH 4, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hot off bench Moody had 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 16 minutes during Thursday's 122-113 loss to Dallas.

Impact Moody (eye) showed no signs of discomfort related to his bruised socket, connecting on all five of his field-goal attempts in a limited role. The return of Klay Thompson (illness) pushes Moody deeper in the rotation, but the rookie from Arkansas has displayed enticing microwave-scorer ability occasionally.

Available against Mavericks Moody (eye) is available for Thursday's game against Dallas.

Impact Moody was probable for Thursday's matchup due to a bruised eye, so it isn't very surprising that he'll officially be available. Across his last three appearances, he's averaged 5.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game. Although he started each of the last two games, he should return to a bench role Thursday since Klay Thompson (illness) is also available.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Moody (eye) is now listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Moody was able to practice on Wednesday despite the bruised eye he suffered Tuesday, and it now appears likely that he'll be available for Thursday's tilt with Dallas. The 19-year-old is averaging 3.4 points and 1.4 rebounds across 9.9 minutes per game this season.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Thursday Moody (eye) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Moody suffered a bruised eye during Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, but he was able to participate in Wednesday's practice session. If he's unavailable Thursday, Damion Lee, Juan Toscano-Anderson and Gary Payton could see additional run.

Exits with bruised eye Moody exited Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a bruised eye, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Initial reports suggested Moody was dealing with an arm injury, so this is quite the shift in diagnosis. Any missed time for Moody going forward could result in more minutes for Damion Lee, Juan Toscano-Anderson and/or Gary Payton.

MARCH 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Walks to locker room Moody went to the locker room during the first quarter of Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right arm/shoulder issue, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moody should be considered questionable to return. If he sits out the remainder of the game or misses any more time moving forward, extra minutes could be in store for Damion Lee, Gary Payton and Juan Toscano-Anderson.

Starting role reaps very little Moody closed with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and five rebounds in 25 minutes during Sunday's 107-101 loss to Dallas.

Impact Moody moved into the starting lineup, replacing Klay Thompson who was out due to an illness. While this was a bit surprising, it was likely so that they could keep Jordan Poole in his usual sixth-man role. Moody has shown flashes this season but unfortunately, he was unable to make the most of Sunday's opportunity. Thompson is unlikely to miss extended time here and so Moody is not a player to be targeting outside of deeper formats.

Starting in place of Klay Moody will start Sunday's game against the Mavericks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact With Klay Thompson (illness) sidelined, Moody will get the nod on the wing as the Warriors go with a smaller lineup featuring Andrew Wiggins at the nominal power forward spot. Moody should be set for increased minutes after seeing his role vacillate from game-to-game over the last couple of weeks. The rookie out of Arkansas started three straight games from Jan. 31 through Feb. 3, averaging 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 made threes in 28.7 minutes per game.

Back to bench Moody isn't starting Monday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Moody has started each of the last three contests for the Warriors, but he'll return to a bench role for Monday's clash with Otto Porter back in action. He's averaging 4.0 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.6 minutes in his last eight games off the bench.

FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Thursday Moody will start Thursday against the Kings, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

Impact Moody will make his fourth start of the season against the Kings, and it'll be his third consecutive start. The rookie has been efficient in his last two games, averaging 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 31.0 minutes. Expect Jordan Poole and Damion Lee to see minutes off the bench behind Moody.

FEBRUARY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cruises to career-high scoring mark Moody put up a career-high 20 points (6-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go with seven rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes Tuesday in the Warriors' 124-120 win over the Spurs.

Impact Though he's been outside of head coach Steve Kerr's rotation for much of the season, Moody has picked up consecutive starts with Golden State missing several key players. After all of Otto Porter (foot), Andre Iguodala (hip), Draymond Green (back), James Wiseman (knee) and Nemanja Bjelica (back) sat out Monday's win over the Rockets, Stephen Curry (toe), Klay Thompson (rest) and Andrew Wiggins (knee) joined them among the Warriors' unavailable players for the second half of the back-to-back set. Those absences allowed Moody's playing time to climb an extra 12 minutes from Monday to Tuesday, and the rookie did his best Thompson impression by lighting up the Spurs from downtown. Moody could hold down a rotation spot Thursday against the Kings on the heels of back-to-back strong outings, but expect his playing time and usage to dip significantly with all of Curry, Thompson, Wiggins and Porter likely to be back in action.

FEBRUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 25 minutes in start Moody ended Monday's 122-108 win over the Rockets with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes.

Impact Surprisingly, Moody was given the start at shooting guard with Otto Porter (foot) and Draymond Green (back) out, and he made the most of the opportunity, putting in 11 points behind three three-pointers while tying his career high in minutes. For the most part, Moody has not been a part of the Warriors' regular rotation of late, but with Klay Thompson (rest) sitting out Tuesday against the Spurs, it's possible the rookie could hold onto his rotation spot for at least one more contest.

FEBRUARY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Making random start Monday Moody will start Monday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact The rookie out of Arkansas will make just his second start of the season as the Warriors play without Draymond Green (back) and Otto Porter (foot). The reason behind the decision by coach Steve Kerr is unclear, but Moody has not even been a part of the Warriors' rotation for most of the last month. He's appeared in only five of Golden State's last 17 games, spending considerable time in the G League during that stretch.
