Warriors' Klay Thompson: Breaks slump with 20 points
Rotowire
Thompson totaled 20 points (7-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 121-116 win over the Rockets.
Thompson played reasonably well against the Thunder over the weekend, but a 20-point game continued to elude him. He finally hit that mark Monday, and although he still struggled a bit, he drilled five three-pointers on the way to his best scoring total of the season. Thompson depends on his three-point stroke to be fantasy-relevant, and he'll rarely impress in secondary categories.
Warriors' Klay Thompson: Tossed from Tuesday's game
Rotowire
Thomson was ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves with 10:17 remaining in the first quarter for fighting with Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Thompson missed his only field-goal attempt and didn't record any statistics before being ejected.
Thompson and McDaniels were both assessed two technicals apiece and tossed from the contest after tussling with one another when they got tied up in transition following a long rebound. Multiple players rushed over to the two, with Draymond Green also drawing a Flagrant 2 foul and getting ejected from the contest for putting Rudy Gobert in a headlock. The NBA will presumably review the incident prior to the Warriors' next game Thursday against the Thunder and potentially dole out further punishment, but Green is likelier than Thompson to face a suspension.
Warriors' Klay Thompson: Misses buzzer shot to tie game
Rotowire
Thompson logged 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a steal across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 108-105 loss to the Nuggets.
Thompson had a chance to be the hero, but his potential game-tying shot was off the mark. Thompson finished with a solid line, but his results have been all over the map. His floor is a bit unstable, making him a less dependable fantasy option in the early stages of the season.
Warriors' Klay Thompson: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
Thompson is listed as questionable to play Sunday against the Cavaliers due to right adductor tightness.
Thompson had been dealing with left knee soreness in recent weeks, but this is an entirely new injury, and it remains to be seen if he'll end up playing against the Cavaliers or not, as Golden State tends to be cautious when it comes to its star players and potential injury situations. Thompson has started in each of his five appearances this season and is averaging 16.8 points per game while shooting 42.9 percent from deep.

Warriors' Klay Thompson: Active Sunday
Rotowire
Thompson (adductor) is active for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Thompson logged 33 minutes in Friday's win over Oklahoma City, but the Warriors were tentative with his availability for Sunday. The 33-year-old will be able to suit up, however, joining a fully healthy Warriors squad.
