Curry has struggled with his shot recently, making 38.6% of his attempts over the past two weeks. Over the past two weeks, this slump has caused him to provide 7th-round value, well behind his 9-cat production for the season. The Warriors have lost seven of their last 10 games, and while this isn’t all on Curry, the team needs their best scorer to get back on track. Golden State ends Week 10 with three games in four nights, beginning with Philadelphia on Thursday.

Lawson has been a key part of the Raptors’ rotation as of late. While it isn’t likely that he’ll be an impact player when the team is healthy, he’s scored at least 13 points in four of his previous five outings.

Joseph is dealing with a minor knee injury but is healthy enough to play on Friday. He appears to be set to continue starting at point guard.

Goga Bitadze will likely be called upon to start for Carter against Indiana. Anthony Black has been Orlando’s most used sub lately. He or Cole Anthony could start for the injured KCP.

The Magic will rest both of their stars with nothing left to play for ahead of the play-in. Fantasy managers should expect Caleb Houston and Tristan da Silva to step up to fill starter spots at forward.

Terry has been able to take advantage of a few Bulls injuries and made his fifth start of the season earlier this week. He should play his usual bench role against Washington now that several Chicago guards are back in the fold.

Friday’s game will be the sixth in a row Simons has missed, and the seventh in a row by Henderson. The Trail Blazers have turned to Dalano Banton to take over the starting point guard duties. Despite the efficiency issues, he’s worth rostering in active fantasy leagues due to the opportunity.

Grant remains out for Friday’s game, and it would be surprising if he played on Sunday. Shaedon Sharpe has been his replacement in the starting lineup, but he’s questionable for Friday. If Sharpe also sits, Rayan Rupert and Kris Murray are the most likely options to fill the void.

Jackson had a good night offensively, scoring 23 points and shooting 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. However, he only grabbed one rebound, a poor tally for a 6-foot-11 player, even if Jackson has never been a prolific rebounder. That said, Thursday’s performance was a departure from the recent norm, as JJJ has averaged 6.7 rebounds per game over the past two weeks. He’ll look to bounce back on Friday when the Grizzlies visit the Nuggets.

Bane has surpassed 20 points in just two of his last six games, but that hasn’t prevented him from providing elite fantasy value. Over the past two weeks, the Grizzlies guard has provided top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The improved playmaking is something for fantasy managers to take notice of heading into next season, especially with the injury history of backcourt partner Ja Morant.

Morant has scored at least 30 points in three of his last four outings, his most productive stretch of the season. However, his stat line on Thursday included five turnovers, and he’s had at least four in four of the six games he’s played since returning from a hamstring injury suffered in late March. If the Grizzlies are to avoid the play-in tournament, they’ll need a more efficient Morant in their final two games, not to mention help from other teams in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies play the Nuggets on Friday and Mavericks on Sunday to wrap up the season.
