Moody accumulated three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) in five minutes during Sunday's 126-125 win over the Kings in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Moody played just five minutes in the victory, continuing what has been an unfulfilling series, at least from his perspective. The Warriors, unsurprisingly, have leaned more on the veterans throughout the quarterfinals, opting to offer sporadic minutes to the younger role players. Outside of a lopsided encounter, Moody figures to remain on the fringe of the rotation for the foreseeable future.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Scores 13 points off bench
Rotowire
Moody totaled 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 136-125 win over Oklahoma City.
With Klay Thompson (back) out, Moody saw his most minutes and scored his most points since Dec. 21. If Thompson is forced to miss any additional time, Moody would be a prime candidate to remain in the rotation, but if Thompson misses only one game, Moody's fantasy appeal will plummet.

Rotowire
Golden State assigned Moody to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday.
The Warriors are starting to get a little healthier, and Moody wasn't playing more than a handful of minutes each night anyways. He figures to garner extended playing time while with Santa Cruz.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Recalled by Golden State
Rotowire
Golden State recalled Moody from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Sunday.
Moody is expected to add bench depth ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lakers, but he doesn't figure to play a significant role. He's made 50 appearances with the Warriors this season, starting three times, but he's averaging only 4.6 points and 1.6 rebounds per contest.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Back to NBA
Rotowire
Golden State recalled Moody to the NBA club from the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Monday, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Moody and Patrick Baldwin were both elevated and will be available for the Warriors' matchup against the Thunder on Monday. Across 39 NBA appearances (three starts), Moody is averaging 5.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Heads to G League
Rotowire
Moody was assigned to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Thursday.
Moody has fallen out of Golden State's rotation over the last several games, and his move to the G League should allow him to see more consistent minutes. However, if the parent club deals with injuries at some point, Moody will be a strong candidate to be recalled.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Pops for season-high 17
Rotowire
Moody posted 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 143-113 loss to the Nets.
Getting his second straight start on a night in which Stephen Curry (shoulder), Klay Thompson (knee), Andrew Wiggins (groin) and others were all in street clothes, Moody took advantage of the opportunity and set a new season high in points. The second-year guard has scored in double digits in three of the last five games, going 9-for-18 from three-point range during that stretch, but his role should shrink again once the Warriors' backcourt gets healthier.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Scores 11 in spot start
Rotowire
Moody had 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-94 loss to the Knicks.
Moody entered the starting five for the second time this season and scored nine of his 11 points from beyond the arc. This marks his third time scoring in double figures over nine December appearances, as he's struggled to log consistent playing time behind Klay Thompson, Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Lamb.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Strong shooting off bench
Rotowire
Moody ended Wednesday's 125-119 loss to the Pacers with 13 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and three assists over 23 minutes.
The 20-year-old guard got a boost in playing time after Stephen Curry (shoulder) exited the contest, and Moody was able to take advantage. He's quietly been locked in from long range for a while now, going 7-for-11 on three-point attempts in December, and if Curry misses additional time, Moody could have some short-term fantasy value.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Goes for 11 points Saturday
Rotowire
Moody logged 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 17 minutes during Saturday's 120-101 victory over Houston.
Moody logged some extra minutes in garbage time, flashing his offensive arsenal in the process. Despite an element of upside, Moody's role has been inconsistent, to say the least. Barring injuries to key pieces, he appears likely to remain a backend rotation option better suited to the deepest of leagues.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Scores 10 in blowout loss
Rotowire
Moody contributed 10 points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 128-83 loss to the Pelicans.
The Warriors rested most of their starters in the second half of a back-to-back set, so this led several reserves to see more playing time. Moody wasn't part of the starting lineup, but he logged a season-high in minutes off the bench and was one of the few players who delivered a decent performance. The Warriors should be back at full strength for their next game against the Clippers on Wednesday, however, so Moody is expected to return to his end-of-the-bench role.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Logs three minutes in win
Rotowire
Moody supplied no counting stats in three minutes during Friday's 111-101 victory over New York.
Moody saw just three minutes in the win, a season-low mark for the sophomore. After a couple of encouraging performances over the first three weeks, Moody has now played fewer than 10 minutes in three of his past four games. While he is a name to monitor, it appears as though he is the odd man out right now when it comes to rotation minutes.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Could see reduced role
Rotowire
Warriors coach Steve Kerr implied Wednesday that Moody could be among the younger players who see fewer minutes as Golden State attempts to improve its defense, Kendra Andrews of ESPN reports.
The Warriors are currently a bottom-five defensive team, and fixing that is something Kerr is clearly going to prioritize in the short term. He noted that the Warriors are operating with a "smaller margin of error," so he may lean more heavily on the likes of Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome -- a pair of two-way players -- instead of Moody, Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman. This could simply be a motivational tactic by Kerr, but it's certainly not the most encouraging endorsement of Golden State's young trio. Through 11 appearances this season, Moody is averaging 4.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 made threes while shooting 43.7 percent from the floor. The 2021 lottery pick remains an intriguing long-term piece, but he doesn't have much of a path to fantasy relevancy this season.

Moody isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Sacramento.
Moody drew a rare spot start Friday with many of Golden State's starters getting the night off to rest, and he'll return to his typical bench role Monday night. He's averaging 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in nine games off the bench this season.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Underwhelming in spot start
Rotowire
Moody closed with 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Pelicans.
Moody joined a host of fringe players in the starting lineup Friday, filling in as the stars were given the night off. Despite the promotion, Moody was unable to capitalize, much to the disappointment of those who streamed him in. Expect to see the main core back on the court against the Kings on Monday, meaning Moody will likely shift back to a bench role.
Moody will join the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Moody is part of nearly a full lineup change Friday, with the Warriors sitting four of the five regulars in the starting unit. He figures to see some extended run as a result and could be worthy of a look in both DFS and some leagues with daily lineup changes.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Team option exercised
Rotowire
The Warriors exercised Moody's $3.92 million team option for the 2023-24 season Monday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Moody's role has slightly increased to begin the 2022-23 campaign, as he's averaged 6.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game over his first seven appearances. As a result, it's not very surprising to see his third-year option picked up prior to Monday's deadline.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Productive night Tuesday
Rotowire
Moody finished with 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 134-105 loss to the Suns.
Moody took advantage of some additional playing time, flashing some upside on both ends of the floor. With Klay Thompson ejected and the game descending into garbage time, the Warriors opted to play their fringe guys down the stretch. While this is highly unlikely to stick moving forward, it does remind managers that Moody is at least a name to watch, especially in deeper formats.
