Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Goes for 27 points Wednesday
Rotowire
Wiggins provided 27 points (12-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 120-97 win over Atlanta.
Wiggins delivered one of his best scoring performances in 2024-25, finishing just two points shy of tying his season-high mark. The lack of consistency in Wiggins' numbers has been frustrating for fantasy managers, but he's scored over 20 points in his last two games, so the signs are trending in the right direction it seems. Wiggins is averaging 15.0 points per game while shooting 44.3 percent from the field since the beginning of November, however, so there's room for him to continue improving.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Scores 22 points Monday
Rotowire
Wiggins finished with 22 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds and one block over 29 minutes during Monday's 102-99 loss to the Clippers.
Stephen Curry led the way for the Warriors in scoring, but Wiggins certainly made his presence felt with an efficient performance. Wiggins reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Oct. 27, when he also achieved that mark against the Clippers. However, for the most part, his production has been disappointing. He's averaging just 13.5 points per game while shooting 39.3 percent from the field since the beginning of November.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Game-time call Tuesday
Rotowire
Wiggins is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a low back strain.
Wiggins missed time earlier in the month due to the same injury, so it appears he hasn't been able to completely get over the issue. The Warriors are sure to monitor his status closely as he goes through morning shootaround and pregame warmups. Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga would take on more prominent roles if Wiggins is ultimately ruled out.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Strong showing Sunday
Rotowire
Wiggins posted 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 win over the Thunder.
Wiggins bounced back from a subpar showing in the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday, and he has reached the 15-point mark in three of his last five appearances. However, the inconsistencies and the lack of efficiency have limited Wiggins' upside of late. He's averaging 13.0 points per game while shooting just 36.4 percent from the field since the beginning of November.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Poor shooting in Monday's win
Rotowire
Wiggins contributed five points (1-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 18 minutes during Monday's 125-112 win over the Wizards.
Wiggins suited up for a second straight game after missing back-to-back contests against the Pelicans due to a back issue. While he was solid in his return to action Saturday, posting 15 points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 31 minutes during a win over Houston, the veteran struggled to generate anything Monday and was held to only 18 minutes. Buddy Hield (28) and Jonathan Kuminga (25) both saw more minutes than Wiggins off the bench.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Good to go
Rotowire
Wiggins (back) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards.
As expected, Wiggins has been upgraded from probable to available and will make his second straight appearance after missing two games. On Saturday against the Rockets, Wiggins posted 15 points (3-9 FG), three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 31 minutes. The Warriors are getting Stephen Curry (ankle) back Monday night, so that likely means less usage but better floor spacing for Wiggins.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Probable for Monday
Rotowire
Wiggins is probable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to a right low back strain.
The back strain caused Wiggins to miss two straight games before he returned to action Saturday against the Rockets, posting 15 points (3-9 FG), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes. He'll likely remain a regular on the injury report, but barring a setback, Wiggins should continue to play through the back issue.

Rotowire
Wiggins (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
A lower back strain will sideline Wiggins for his second consecutive contest. Lindy Waters is coming off of 21-point effort in his absence, while the quartet of Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga will also shoulder additional work on offense.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Officially ruled out
Rotowire
Wiggins (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.
As expected, Wiggins won't play in the first half of Golden State's back-to-back set and should be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's rematch against New Orleans.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Unlikely to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Coach Steve Kerr said Wiggins (back), who's listed as questionable, is unlikely to play Tuesday against the Pelicans.
Wiggins is considered day-to-day due to a lower back strain, but it sounds like he'll miss at least one game. Stephen Curry (ankle) and De'Anthony Melton (back) have already been ruled out for Golden State's upcoming back-to-back set against New Orleans, so Buddy Hield, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and Kyle Anderson are all candidates for increased workloads.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Leads Warriors in scoring
Rotowire
Wiggins had 29 points (11-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 loss to the Clippers.
Wiggins led the Warriors in scoring, and this could be a recurring situation if Stephen Curry (ankle) is forced to miss time. Wiggins has reached the 20-point mark in two of his first three outings this season, and he's bound for an uptick in his usage rate in the coming games as one of the few proven scoring weapons in the Warriors roster.

Warriors' Andrew Wiggins: Posts 20 points in opener
Rotowire
Wiggins accumulated 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 139-104 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Wiggins has to feel like his job is in jeopardy after the team acquired Buddy Hield, De'Anthony Melton and Kyle Anderson in the offseason. To stay with the first unit, he'll need to have nights like he had Wednesday. He successfully dodged a destined decrease in playing time when the team locked in Jonathan Kuminga at the wing, and a big reason for keeping Wiggins on the court is his defensive skill set, which is a hallmark of his game.
