Lindy Waters Latest News
Will play Thursday
Waters (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. Waters was one of several players who were questionable for the Warriors ahead of this matchup, but in the end, he'll be available and should see steady minutes off the bench. Waters is averaging 7.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game in 10 outings this month.
Questionable for Thursday
Waters (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls. Waters, who is dealing with a left shoulder strain, could be trending toward missing his ninth game of the season for the Warriors. If Waters can't play against Chicago, Andrew Wiggins, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton might have to shoulder more of the load at small forward.
Slides to bench Monday
Waters will come off the bench in Monday's game against Toronto, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. With Andrew Wiggins returning from a two-game absence due to a personal matter, Waters will retreat to the bench. Over his last five outings (one start), the 27-year-old has averaged 9.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 24.2 minutes per contest.
Starting Friday
Waters will start in Friday's game against the Pacers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. The 27-year-old swingman will get the starting nod with Stephen Curry (knees), Andrew Wiggins (personal) and Draymond Green (back) sidelined. Over his last five outings, Waters has averaged 9.6 points and 2.2 rebounds across 20.4 minutes per game.
Solid outing against Philadelphia
Waters finished Thursday's 139-105 victory over the 76ers with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes. Waters scored in double figures for the sixth time this season for Golden State in Thursday's win over Philadelphia. It was a solid bounce-back game after going 0-for-6 during Monday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Notches 12 points
Waters finished Sunday's 143-133 loss to the Mavericks with 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and four steals over 21 minutes. Waters reached double-digit points for the fifth time this campaign. He had the hot hand Sunday and played more minutes than Brandin Podziemski as a result. The Warriors are looking for a spark, as they've lost seven of their past eight games. Waters is worth keeping an eye on in fantasy leagues going forward.
Solid outing off bench
Waters totaled eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 91-90 loss to the Rockets. After making seven consecutive starts, Waters has now come off Golden State's bench in his last four appearances. Over those four bench outings, Waters is averaging 4.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.5 minutes.
Coming off bench Saturday
Waters is not in the Warriors' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Suns, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports. Waters has started in the Warriors' last seven games, and over that span he averaged 7.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 22.0 minutes per contest. However, Waters will retreat to the bench for Saturday's game due to the Warriors inserting Brandin Podziemski into the starting lineup.
Starting Saturday vs. Spurs
Waters (illness) is in the Warriors' starting lineup for Saturday's game against San Antonio. Waters was added to Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but the fourth-year forward will be able to play. Over his last four games in the Warriors' starting lineup, Waters has averaged 6.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals over 19.3 minutes per game. He could see a slight uptick in playing time Saturday due to Jonathan Kuminga (illness) being sidelined.
