Moody supplied no counting stats in three minutes during Friday's 111-101 victory over New York.

EDGE Analysis

Moody saw just three minutes in the win, a season-low mark for the sophomore. After a couple of encouraging performances over the first three weeks, Moody has now played fewer than 10 minutes in three of his past four games. While he is a name to monitor, it appears as though he is the odd man out right now when it comes to rotation minutes.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr implied Wednesday that Moody could be among the younger players who see fewer minutes as Golden State attempts to improve its defense, Kendra Andrews of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Warriors are currently a bottom-five defensive team, and fixing that is something Kerr is clearly going to prioritize in the short term. He noted that the Warriors are operating with a "smaller margin of error," so he may lean more heavily on the likes of Anthony Lamb and Ty Jerome -- a pair of two-way players -- instead of Moody, Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman. This could simply be a motivational tactic by Kerr, but it's certainly not the most encouraging endorsement of Golden State's young trio. Through 11 appearances this season, Moody is averaging 4.4 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 made threes while shooting 43.7 percent from the floor. The 2021 lottery pick remains an intriguing long-term piece, but he doesn't have much of a path to fantasy relevancy this season.

Moody isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Moody drew a rare spot start Friday with many of Golden State's starters getting the night off to rest, and he'll return to his normal bench role Monday night. He's averaging 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in nine games off the bench so far this season.

Moody closed with 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 32 minutes during Friday's 114-105 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Moody joined a host of fringe players in the starting lineup Friday, filling in as the stars were given the night off. Despite the promotion, Moody was unable to capitalize, much to the disappointment of those who streamed him in. Expect to see the main core back on the court against the Kings on Monday, meaning Moody will likely shift back to a bench role.

Moody will join the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moody is part of nearly a full lineup change Friday, with the Warriors sitting four of the five regulars in the starting unit. He figures to see some extended run as a result and could be worthy of a look in both DFS and some leagues with daily lineup changes.

The Warriors exercised Moody's $3.92 million team option for the 2023-24 season Monday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moody's role has slightly increased to begin the 2022-23 campaign, as he's averaged 6.4 points and 2.4 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game over his first seven appearances. As a result, it's not very surprising to see his third-year option picked up prior to Monday's deadline.

Moody finished with 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 134-105 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Moody took advantage of some additional playing time, flashing some upside on both ends of the floor. With Klay Thompson ejected and the game descending into garbage time, the Warriors opted to play their fringe guys down the stretch. While this is highly unlikely to stick moving forward, it does remind managers that Moody is at least a name to watch, especially in deeper formats.

Moody (calf) isn't listed on the injury report for Opening Night versus the Lakers on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Moody didn't take part in last Friday's preseason finale versus the Nuggets due to a calf issue, but it appears the problem was relatively minor. He opens the season with no injury designation and will slot into a bench role for the Warriors again in 2022-23.

Moody (calf) will not play in Friday's preseason matchup with the Nuggets, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moody will miss Friday's game due to right calf soreness, although the injury is not believed to be serious, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. Moody has impressed this preseason and is not expected to miss any regular-season action. The second-year player will provide depth at both the guard and forward positions for the Warriors this season.

Moody won't start Friday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moody started Tuesday's exhibition game against the Trail Blazers and tallied 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two steals, an assist and a block in 23 minutes. However, he'll head back to the bench with several players returning to action for the Warriors on Friday, and he should continue to play a bench role for Golden State once the regular season gets underway.
