Donte DiVincenzo has agreed on a four-year, $50 million contract with the New York Knicks. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: DiVincenzo was linked to the Knicks all offseason and that is where he lands. He reunites with his Villanova title teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart. The rotations will be interesting to see with RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley also in the picture. It is a crowded situation at point guard and shooting guard, so it'll be interesting to see how the minutes shake out.

Draymond Green has agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract with a player option in the final season to re-sign with the Golden State Warriors. (Source: Marc J. Spears on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Green remains in Golden State as most expected. The contract includes a player option in the final year. The Warriors will run it back with most of the same core group of players.

The Golden State Warriors have traded Patrick Baldwin Jr. as part of the Chris Paul-Jordan Poole trade. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Baldwin was drafted by the Warriors in the first-round of the 2022 NBA Draft, but saw limited playing time his rookie season. He should be in a more favorable situation to see more playing time as part of a rebuilding Wizards team. He was dealing with a toe injury late this past season, but it shouldn't impact him for next year.

Jordan Poole has been traded to the Washington Wizards in a deal that sends Chris Paul to the Warriors. Golden State is also sending the Wizards a 2030-protected first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: The irony of the deal is that it comes just days after the Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy said he planned to have Poole around for the next four years. Poole joins what looks to be a Wizards team that is entering a rebuilding stage after trading away Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis to the Suns and Celtics respectively. He'll immediately join the starting rotation, but it'll be interesting to see if the Wizards decide to keep Poole or attempt to trade him away for additional draft assets.

Andrew Wiggins (ribs) is expected to try and play in Game 6 vs the Lakers. He will participate in pregame warmups and see how he feels prior to game time. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: It's likely that Wiggins is still not 100% and shooting will still be difficult, but the Warriors will gladly take anything Wiggins can give them. He is averaging 16.8 points and 6 rebounds per game in the conference semifinals.

Klay Thompson dropped 31 points (11-18 FG, 7-14 3PT, 2-2 FT) while also dishing out two assists, recording one steal, and grabbing two rebounds in the Warriors' 130-115 win over the Spurs.
Fantasy Impact: Thompson has offered decent scoring output of late for the Warriors, scoring at least 15 points in four of his last five games for the club. The veteran guard is a streaky shooter who offers an explosive scoring option for fantasy owners at times, averaging 21.7 points per game to go along with a usage rate of 25.5% so far this season.

Stephen Curry led the Warriors offense Friday night, scoring 33 points (11-21 FG, 7-11 3PT, 4-4 FT) while also dishing out five assists and grabbing two rebounds in a 130-115 win over the Spurs.
Fantasy Impact: Curry has scored at least 20 points in each of his last five games for the Warriors, averaging 28.2 points per game on 49.8% shooting from the field in that span. The superstar guard has offered strong output for much of the season for fantasy owners, averaging 29.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game while posting a 29.7% usage rate so far this season.

Gary Payton II (adductor) is probable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Payton hasn't played in several months because of an adductor injury that he's been recovering from, but he seems to finally be healthy and is probable to make his return for Sunday's game. He will be on a minutes limit if he plays, and him finally making his debut for the team will offer them a nice boost heading into the postseason.

Kevon Looney (back) is available to play in Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Looney was initially listed on the injury report because of a back injury that he's dealing with, but it's not considered serious and won't have an effect on his status for Wednesday's game. He will play and projects to be a decent flex option in Golden State's matchup against the Mavericks.

Andre Iguodala (wrist) is out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Iguodala is dealing with lingering wrist soreness that will force him to miss Golden State's game against the Clippers. He doesn't get a ton of work in the Warriors' rotation even when active, so his absence likely won't have a major impact for fantasy purposes.

Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Kuminga has missed a few games because of an ankle injury that he's been dealing with, but he's probable to make his return to the lineup for Wednesday's game. He should play and continue to get additional work with Andrew Wiggins (personal) still out.

The Golden State Warriors plan to sign G League Santa Cruz guard Lester Quinones to a 10-day contract. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Quinones has been playing for the G-League affiliate of the Warriors. He likely won't see the minutes to be fantasy relevant.

James Wiseman has been traded to the Detroit Pistons in a three-team trade. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This is an interesting move for a Pistons team that already has Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren. Wiseman, who was practically out of the Warriors rotation, will get a fresh start in Detroit. He should at least be in the rotation, but it'll be interesting to see what his role will be alongside Stewart and Duren.

Anthony Lamb (foot) will be active for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. (Source: Anthony Slater on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The team initially listed Lamb as questionable to play for Sunday's game due to lingering foot soreness, but they have since cleared him and he will be available to suit up against the Nets. He shouldn't have any strong restrictions and projects to be a decent streaming option for Golden State's game on Sunday.

JaMychal Green is listed as probable for Friday's game vs the Cavaliers due to a lower leg infection. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Green has been out since December 18th due to lower leg issues but is on track to return on Friday. The Warriors are resting many of their starters vs the Cavs, so Green may be thrust into a sizeable role right away.
