The Golden State Warriors (26-26) overcame a slow start and got back in the win column with a 132-111 victory against the Chicago Bulls (22-31) on February 9.
Golden State Warriors Top Performers:
Stephen Curry 34 PTS | 8-16 3PT | 6 AST | 48.0 FPS
Curry has shaken off his inefficiency, erupting for 30+ points in three straight games while firing away from deep at a high volume. He’s also maintained his sharp playmaking and continues to make a positive impact on defense.
Jimmy Butler 25 PTS | 4 AST | 1 BLK | 38.4 FPS
Butler made a strong first impression, showcasing excellent efficiency from the field and a strong impact on the defensive end. His aggression also allowed him to get to the line often, where he shot 11-for-13, helping him reach 20+ points for the tenth time this season.
Brandin Podziemski 16 PTS | 5 REB | 7 AST | 34.5 FPS
Podz has provided consistent value in rebounds, assists and steals since returning, despite an up-and-down offensive performance this month.
Draymond Green 6 PTS | 7 AST | 3 STL | 32.3 FPS
Green’s offensive role has diminished with the addition of Butler; however, his contributions in rebounding, playmaking, and defense remain at a high level.
Quinten Post 18 PTS | 4-7 3PT | 3 REB | 26.6 FPS
Post is likely to hold on to the starting spot with the Warriors favoring a stretch big. He’s always a capable offensive option, but consistency has been an issue.
Chicago Bulls Top Performers:
Coby White 27 PTS | 6-9 3PT | 4 AST | 35.8 FPS
White has thrived as the primary offensive option for the Bulls, dropping 20+ points in five straight games. He’s been lights out from three and highly efficient at the line, while also contributing decent rebounds and assists to round out his production
Josh Giddey 11 PTS | 6 REB | 3 BLK | 35.2 FPS
Giddey has consistently delivered strong value across seven fantasy categories in four games this month. While his rebounding and playmaking have declined from last month, his improved three-point shooting compensates.
Matas Buzelis 16 PTS | 4 REB | 5 AST | 34.3 FPS
Buzelis has taken advantage of his new role with LaVine gone, scoring in double figures for six consecutive games with exceptional shooting percentages and strong defensive impact. He’s also a capable shooter though he has hit a rough patch in his last two games. But he’s quickly becoming a key piece for the Bulls and is definitely a must-add for fantasy teams.
Jalen Smith 15 PTS | 5-7 FG | 4-5 3PT | 18.8 FPS
Smith remains in a limited role with the Bulls but has stepped up offensively in his last four games.
Ayo Dosunmu 10 PTS | 4 AST | 1 STL | 16.2 FPS
Dosunmu has demonstrated reliable double-digit scoring, strong field goal percentages, decent assist and steal totals over his last four games.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Moses Moody 4 PTS | 2-11 FG | 0-5 3PT
Moody struggled mightily in today’s game after reaching double-digit points in 10 of his last 11 contests.
