The Golden State Warriors (22-22) took control in the second half and cruised to an easy 131-106 win over the Chicago Bulls (19-26) on January 24.
Golden State Warriors Top Performers:
Moses Moody 16 PTS | 4 AST | 4 BLK | 37.6 FPS
Moody has been consistently putting up double-digit points, shooting well from the field, and averaging three triples in his last five games. He’s also shown growth in other areas, making him a valuable addition to deeper fantasy leagues. But his ongoing knee problems could be a concern moving forward.
Stephen Curry 21 PTS | 5-12 3PT | 7 AST | 33.3 FPS
Curry is pushing through a knee problem but still managed a modest stat line for his position. His scoring might have declined in his last three games after posting 26+ points in six of his previous seven, but he continues to maintain strong volume from deep, hitting at least four three-pointers in five of his last six games.
Gui Santos 19 PTS | 5-6 3PT | 7 REB | 30.9 FPS
Santos is a player to keep an eye on. He’s been shooting an impressive 68.2% while hitting 4.5 three-pointers in his last two games. With Green out for at least three more games, he’s in a great position to establish himself as a key contributor.
Quinten Post 20 PTS | 5-10 3PT | 5 REB | 29.5 FPS
Post has shown promise in the NBA G-League with his explosive scoring and rebounding. He certainly made a good impression today, but he’ll need to consistently deliver to be considered fantasy relevant.
Dennis Schroder 11 PTS | 2 REB | 7 AST | 22.9 FPS
Schroder’s recent move to the second unit, coupled with his ongoing offensive struggles, has significantly impacted his fantasy value. He’s still a reliable assist contributor, but he’s not providing enough production in other areas to warrant consideration for fantasy lineups.
Chicago Bulls Top Performers:
Josh Giddey 16 PTS | 11 REB | 3 AST | 36.7 FPS
Giddey had back-to-back strong 9-category productions, delivering a full stat line today and nearly achieving a triple-double in his previous game. But his consistency is a major concern, as he alternates between hot and cold performances throughout the month.
Zach LaVine 24 PTS | 3 REB | 4 AST | 33.6 FPS
LaVine has been explosive this month, recording seven games with 30+ points and eight games with 3+ three-pointers, along with an impressive shooting split of 54.0/46.2/81.0. He’s also contributed solid numbers in rebounds, assists, and steals, though his production has dipped slightly in his last two outings. But with the trade deadline approaching, his situation could have a major impact on both his and his team’s fantasy outlook.
Nikola Vucevic 9 PTS | 6 REB | 4 STL | 31.2 FPS
Vucevic’s overall production has declined over the three games since his 40-point, 13-rebound performance but he still delivered solid stat-lines, including an impressive 10 steals during that stretch. But with the trade deadline looming, a potential move could significantly impact his production.
Jalen Smith 9 PTS | 6 REB | 1 BLK | 20.7 FPS
Smith has settled into a consistent role this month, averaging around 15 minutes. He’s been a decent rebounder and has hit double-digits in scoring four times, but he’s unlikely to see a significant increase in minutes unless the team makes some major changes.
Ayo Dosunmu 13 PTS | 2 REB | 2 AST | 18.4 FPS
Dosunmu has been sidelined for much of this month with a calf injury but has shown promising signs in the four games he played. He logged significant minutes, shot the ball efficiently, and recorded decent numbers across his categories.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Andrew Wiggins 17 PTS | 4-11 FG | 7 REB
Wiggins continues to put up decent numbers, but his consistency remains a glaring issue. He’s struggled with his offense in three straight games, with his three-point shooting being notably erratic throughout the month.
