Looney totaled 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 victory over the Mavericks.
Looney was the epitome of efficiency in this one by knocking down 80.0 percent of his attempt from the field while also grabbing double-digit rebounds for a second straight contest. He's tallied a double-double in three of his last four contests and is averaging 12.8 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.8 blocks over this stretch.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Expected to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Looney (back) is probable for Wednesday's game at Dallas.
The big man has been nursing a sore lower back of late, and while it's enough to land him on the official injury report, he hasn't missed any time. That's not expected to change Wednesday when the Warriors look to pick up a second straight victory after topping the Rockets 121-108 on Monday. Looney finished that win with 11 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal for his second double-double in the last three games.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire
Looney (back) is probable for Monday's contest against the Rockets, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
After initially being viewed as questionable, Looney's status appears to be trending in the right direction. The UCLA product has started the Warriors' past five games, averaging 10.0 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.6 blocks over 28.4 minutes.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Looney is questionable for Monday's game against Houston due to low back soreness.
Looney has scored in double figures in his last two appearances, and he's averaged 10.0 points and 11.4 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per game as a starter over the last four matchups. JaMychal Green and Jonathan Kuminga would likely see increased run in the frontcourt if Looney is unavailable Monday.

Rotowire
Looney closed with 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 34 minutes during Friday's 127-119 loss to the Hawks.
Despite Looney's efforts, the Warriors extended their losing streak away from home to 10 games. Looney wasn't 100 percent at the beginning of the month and his minutes trailed off as a result, but he's absolutely rolling now with four straight games with double-digit rebounds and five total blocks in that stretch.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Cleared for action
Rotowire
Looney (back) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
As expected, Looney has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up. He's drawn three straight starts and figures to remain in the starting lineup with Draymond Green (suspension) unavailable. Looney hasn't scored in double figures since March 3, but he has been a monster on the glass and on defense recently, totaling 38 boards and seven steals over his past three appearances.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Another solid outing as starter
Rotowire
Looney finished Monday's 123-112 win over the Suns with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes.
For the second straight game, Looney started and once again put in a useful cross-category line while benefiting from elevated minutes with Golden State down both Andrew Wiggins (personal) and Jonathan Kuminga (ankle). Wiggins appears likely to remain out through the Warriors' upcoming five-game road trip, but Kuminga looks to be day-to-day and could return at some point this week or next, which may cloud Looney's path to getting extended playing time. When he was last available March 7 in Oklahoma City, Kuminga started alongside Draymond Green in the frontcourt and played 28 minutes, while Looney came off the bench and logged just 11 minutes.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Huge defensive numbers in win
Rotowire
Looney finished with seven points (3-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 15 rebounds, five steals and four assists across 36 minutes in Saturday's 125-116 overtime win over the Bucks.
Looney had moved to the bench in Golden State's previous two games and fell under the 20-minute mark on both occasions, but he saw a big spike in playing time Saturday while moving back into the starting five in the absences of Andrew Wiggins (personal) and Jonathan Kuminga (ankle). Though he was uncharacteristically inefficient from the field, Looney made a major impact on the defensive end, becoming the first Warriors player since 1996 to record at least 15 boards and five steals in a single game. Wiggins seems on track to miss more games, but since Kuminga could be back as soon as Monday against the Suns, Looney can't be counted on to maintain a 30-plus-minute or even a 25-plus-minute role, in spite of his impressive showing Saturday.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Moves into starting lineup
Rotowire
Looney will move into the starting lineup Saturday against the Bucks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Looney's minutes have been trending in the wrong direction, which may have had something to do with a minor back issue. The Warriors are on a three-game losing streak and will be going back to their frontcourt combo of Looney and Draymond Green to try to right the ship.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Available vs. Grizzlies
Rotowire
Looney (back) is good to go for Thursday's matchup at Memphis.
As expected, Looney will play through back soreness, and the big man has yet to miss a game this season. He came off the bench and played just 11 minutes in his last appearance, though that may have been due to the specific matchup against the Thunder.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Probable Thursday
Rotowire
Looney is probable for Thursday's game in Memphis with back soreness.
The back issue hampered Looney during Tuesday's loss to the Thunder, limiting him to just 11 minutes, but he'll continue to power through Thursday. He's not much more than a rebounding specialist in fantasy basketball, and his upside is lower if he continues to come off the bench while Jonathan Kuminga starts, as was the case Tuesday.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Minimal contribution off bench
Rotowire
Looney ended Tuesday's 137-128 loss to the Thunder with four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal in 11 minutes.
Looney held a starting five spot for six straight games prior to his move to the bench Tuesday, and he didn't fare particularly well with the role change. His four points marked his second straight game failing to reach double digits, also logging his second-fewest minutes in a game he's appeared in this season. Looney notably was dealing with a back issue leading up to the contest, so it's possible that issue also had a hand in his struggles.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Moves to bench
Rotowire
Looney isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Despite being available, Looney will be replaced by Jonathan Kuminga in the starting five Tuesday. The 26-year-old big is averaging 7.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.9 minutes across his previous seven games coming off the bench this season.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Questionable at OKC
Rotowire
Looney is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to back soreness.
Looney is a late addition to the injury report, and if he sits out Tuesday's game, it will be his first absence of the season. The center has been better than usual lately, scoring in double figures across seven of the past nine games and averaging 9.9 points, 11.4 boards and 1.9 assists in 25.3 minutes. If he sits out, more minutes will probably go to JaMychal Green and Jonathan Kuminga.
Looney amassed 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-7 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during Sunday's 109-104 victory over the Timberwolves.
Looney continues to dominate the glass, grabbing at least 13 rebounds for a sixth consecutive game. He has been a top-65 player over the past two weeks, proving his worth as an elite streamer with benefits. Once the Warriors are fully healthy, his role could reduce based on what we saw earlier in the season. With that said, he is the only true center on the squad and should continue to provide decent numbers in both rebounding and field-goal percentage.
