Stephen Curry

Curry said that the team's vibes are 'way better' than they were after its 52-point loss in Boston last season

Wells' performance on Thursday is why defensive stats alone can't be used to gauge a player's performance on that end of the floor. The rookie wing was given the arduous task of defending Stephen Curry, and he passed the test with flying colors. The Warriors star finished 0-of-7 from the field, scoring just two points. And that assignment didn't prevent Wells from providing solid offensive production. He isn't a player who should be rostered in many fantasy leagues, but deep-league managers should watch Wells moving forward.

Schroder will start in his Warriors' debut, pushing Buddy Hield to the bench. The other change is Green, who will start after coming off the bench on Sunday. However, Jonathan Kuminga heads to the bench, with Looney remaining in the starting lineup.

Newly acquired point guard Dennis Schroder says he's excited to see how he fits alongside Stephen Curry while heaping praise on the Warriors guard.

Curry had a double-double and made 7-of-13 attempts from behind the 3-point line. Still, his game wasn't without faults as he scored 26 points on 19 shots, had two turnovers and was -10 in 35 minutes in the 10-point loss. Ultimately, the 26 points were a positive as his recent lack of scoring had dropped him out of the top-50 fantasy players in the last two weeks.
