Cook provided 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt), seven assists and three rebounds across 37 minutes in Saturday's 126-120 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Cook was back over the 20-point mark for the first time since March 29, accomplishing the feat with his third stellar shooting effort over the past four games. The second-year guard has posted success rates of between 57.1 and 66.7 percent in three of those contests, and he's supplemented those strong performances by dishing out six or seven assists in each of the games during that sample. Given his projected starting role, Cook retains a solid amount of appeal in DFS formats over the final two games of the regular season.

Cook tallied 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes during a 126-106 loss to the Pacers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cook had a fairly average output during the loss Thursday. His numbers are still not terrible, but his production has dropped off now that Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson are both playing again. He's scored 12 points or fewer in three of the last four games.

Cook is nearing a two-year contract extension with the Warriors, Chris Haynes and Marc J. Spears of ESPN report.
EDGE Analysis
Cook has played the entire season thus far on a two-way contract, but that specific contract makes him ineligible for postseason play. As a result, the Warriors are expected to upgrade him to a regular contract by the April 10 deadline, which is expected to span two years. Cook has been filling in as the Warriors' starting point guard with Stephen Curry (knee) out, averaging an impressive 18.5 points, 5.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 35.1 minutes over the last 10 games. With Curry potentially not being ready for their first-round series, the Warriors are making it a priority to keep Cook around considering how well he's played as a fill-in starter. Once this deal is finalized, the Warriors will need to cut someone from their current 15-man roster.

Cook totaled 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, four rebounds and three steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 117-107 victory over Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Cook started slowly but got things going late to finish with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting. He is sure to see a dip in his scoring production now that Klay Thompson has returned to the lineup, but he is still worth owning in basically all formats. He will likely continue to get all the minutes he can handle and while his ceiling is not as high as it was, he is still able to contribute in a few categories without hurting you anywhere.

Cook pitched in 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes in Saturday's 112-96 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The cumulative effect of the respective returns of Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson to the lineup were evident on Cook's numbers Saturday, as his scoring total was his lowest of the last nine games. The second-year guard's shot attempts were also his fewest during that span, and that could well continue to be the case for what's left of the regular season if the aforementioned star trio remains healthy.

Cook finished with 30 points (12-15 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Thursday's 116-107 loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Cook did his best Steph Curry impersonation Thursday, finishing with a career-high 30 points on a ridiculous 12-of-15 from the field including a perfect 5-of-5 from beyond the arc. Despite not recording any defensive stats, he was able to keep Eric Bledsoe in check. Cook is going to have the ball in his hands a lot to finish the season and even with Klay Thompson (thumb) due back this weekend, he remains a must-own player.

Cook (knee) delivered 11 points (5-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt), seven assists and four rebounds across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 92-81 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Cook came into the contest dealing with a knee bruise, so that potentially may have played a role in his shooting struggles. The 25-year-old has posted no less than a 44.4 percent success rate in the six games prior, and he's managed to extend his streak of double-digit scoring efforts to seven despite the ragged night from the field. Cook projects to remain in his starting point guard role for the balance of the regular season, although the expected returns of Kevin Durant (ribs) and Draymond Green (illness) Thursday should eat into his usage.

Cook (knee) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Cook came into Tuesday with a probable designation due to a bruised left knee, but as expected, it's nothing overly serious and he'll take the court as usual. With Stephen Curry (knee) still out, Cook should continue to start at point guard and see 30-plus minutes. Over his last five games, Cook has averaged impressive numbers of 20.6 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.4 steals across 37.0 minutes.

Cook is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers with a left knee contusion.
EDGE Analysis
The injury resulted in Cook briefly departing Sunday's 110-91 loss to the Jazz, but the point guard later checked back into the game and finished with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block in 35 minutes. Though Draymond Green (illness) is on track to play Tuesday following a two-game absence, all of Stephen Curry (knee), Kevin Durant (rib) and Klay Thompson (thumb) have been ruled out, likely putting Cook on track for another high-usage role in the starting lineup.

Cook posted 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, one steal and one block across 35 minutes in Sunday's 110-91 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Cook was back in the starting five and projects to remain there for the balance of the regular season and beyond with Stephen Curry (knee) likely out through the first round of the playoffs. The second-year guard once again performed well with extended minutes, and he's now scored in double digits in six straight contests. Given the ability he's demonstrated to fill out the stat sheet during that span, Cook's fantasy value will remain strong throughout the fantasy playoffs, given his ball-handling role in Golden State's fast-paced attack. However, with both Kevin Durant (ribs) and Draymond Green (illness) potentially back Tuesday against the Pacers, Cook might see his assists bump up while his scoring takes a bit of a downturn.
