Warriors' Moses Moody: Hits for 17 points in defeat
Rotowire
Moody registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to San Antonio.
Moody's shot was dialed in during the loss, but the starting lineup failed to produce what was needed down the stretch against the Spurs. Moody's role has been relatively steady since Jimmy Butler's (knee) season-ending injury, and the 6-foot-5 fifth-year pro possesses much-needed versatility that can fill gaps at a few different positions. Although his scoring isn't always prolific, he's registered single digits only once over the past 15 contests.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Flashes big upside
Rotowire
Moody logged 25 points (8-17 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 loss to the Lakers.
Moody led the Warriors in a losing effort against the Lakers. With Stephen Curry sidelined by a knee injury, Moody filled the void of outside shooting by hitting five shots from distance. The former lottery pick also had a block and three steals in 39 minutes, and he should continue to see expanded usage as long as Curry is sidelined.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Surpasses 20 minutes in debut
Rotowire
Moody (calf) logged 21 minutes off the bench and finished with seven points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds and one steal in Friday's 139-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Cleared to make his season debut after sitting out the Warriors' first two games due to a calf injury, Moody was used off the second unit but didn't seem to be operating with a minutes restriction. Prior to getting hurt, Moody had started in both of his preseason appearances, so he could be in consideration for a move to the top unit once he's fully conditioned coming off the injury. That being said, even a promotion to the starting five wouldn't necessarily lead to a major uptick in playing time for Moody, who is part of a deep rotation of wings that includes Jimmy Butler, Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton. De'Anthony Melton (knee) will also return to the mix down the road, perhaps at some point in November.

The removal from the injury report sets the stage for Moody's season debut Friday.

Rotowire

Warriors' Moses Moody: Game-time decision Tuesday
Rotowire
Moody (back), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Grizzlies, will go through his pregame warmup before the Warriors make a final decision on his availability, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Moody's back tightened during Tuesday's shootaround, and he was a late addition to the injury report. If the 22-year-old is unable to suit up against Memphis, Gary Payton and Jonathan Kuminga are candidates for an uptick in playing time. Moody has averaged 8.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.2 assists across 25.1 minutes per game in his last 10 appearances.
