West (arm) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
West will be forced to miss his fourth straight game due to a cyst in his right arm. It's unclear when the 37-year-old could return, but expect Kevon Looney and Omri Casspi to see increased minutes in West's absence. His next chance to return will come Tuesday against the Lakers.

West (arm) is out for Friday's contest against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
West will miss a third straight game Friday as he continues to recover from a cyst in his right arm. As a result of his absence, Kevon Looney and Omri Casspi should see extra run.

West (arm) is out for Thursday's contest against the Spurs, Mark Medina of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
This news doesn't come as a surprise, as West was listed as doubtful after missing Tuesday's contest against the Knicks due to a cyst in his right arm. As a result of his absence Thursday, Kevon Looney is a strong candidate to see extra run.

West (arm) is doubtful for Thursday's tilt against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
West missed Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a cyst in his right arm, which is apparently still giving him significant pain. Assuming he misses Thursday's contest, Kevon Looney should see extra run.

West will not play in Tuesday's tilt against the Knicks due to right arm cyst.
EDGE Analysis
West was not on the injury report heading into the evening, so the issue is likely relatively new. Both Kevon Looney and Jordan Bell figure to see some extra run providing depth in the frontcourt as a result of his absence. Consider him day-to-day heading into Thursday's game against the Spurs.

West racked up 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in Friday's 134-127 win over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
West led the Warriors' reserves in scoring, an increasingly common occurrence of late. The veteran big man has scored in double digits in three of the last five and has shot no less than 60.0 percent in the last six contests. While his minutes won't exceed the teens, West's ability to often maximize them while also providing solid returns on the glass continue to give him some utility in deep formats and as a DFS punt play.

West totaled 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes in Saturday's 122-105 win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
West was a source of efficient offense off the Warriors' second unit for the third straight game, a span during which he's shot 82.4 percent (14-for-17). The veteran big man still isn't seeing more than 17 minutes on average, but he's proven aptly capable of offering strong production in both scoring and rebounds relative to that level of playing time. His fantasy value primarily remains limited to very deep formats, but he's also increasingly viable as a DFS punt play despite the capped minutes.

West scored 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT) while adding seven rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block in 17 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 121-103 win over the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
The assists were a season high for West, who has also recorded at least one steal and one block in four straight games. The veteran forward's workload hasn't crept up to even 20 minutes since early December, putting a very firm cap on his fantasy ceiling, but he's still finding a way to contribute in his limited minutes.

West (calf) is available to play in Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, West's presence on the injury report with a calf issue was just precautionary, and the veteran big man is all good to go for Thursday's outing with the Mavericks.

West is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks with right calf tension.
EDGE Analysis
West apparently picked up the issue during Tuesday's loss to the Thunder, though it's thought to be a minor issue and he's expected to be good to go for Thursday's clash. Look for his status for clear up closer to tipoff. The 37-year-old is averaging 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks across 13.4 minutes per game this season.
