News: Ellis erupted for 48 points on 18-of-29 shooting during the Warriors' loss Tuesday.
Impact: Ellis also went 3-of-6 from downtown and 9-of-10 from the line, adding seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block in a terrific performance. The 48 points were a career-high.

News: Lee had a triple-double Tuesday, scoring 25 points with 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the Warriors' loss.
Impact: Lee hit 9-of-19 shots from the floor and made all seven of his free-throw attempts, also recording a block in 44 minutes of action. The triple-double was the second of his career.

News: Robinson (groin) will sit out Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, the Warriors' official website reports.
Impact: Despite a report earlier Tuesday that stated Robinson expected to play, he is out with a strained left groin that kept him from practice on Monday. His inconsistency makes him an iffy play outside of very deep leagues, though playing against elite squads like the Thunder tend to bring out the best in the streaky guard.

News: Robinson (groin) is expected to play against Oklahoma City on Tuesday, CSN Bay Area's Matt Steinmetz reports.
Impact: Robinson is coming off a 20-point effort against the Kings, but the Thunder are tougher and Robinson is very inconsistent. He's generally not more than a desperation option outside of deep leagues.

News: Robinson (groin) did not practice Monday, CSN Bay Area's Matt Steinmetz reports.
Impact: The development would seem to make Robinson iffy for Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, though the team has merely said Robinson is day-to-day.

News: The Warriors waived Barron on Monday, CSN Bay Area's Matt Steinmetz reports.
Impact: Barron played for just nine minutes with the Warriors in two appearances over 11 games.

News: Wright had a season-best 24 points during a 114-106 overtime loss to Sacramento on Saturday night.
Impact: The Warriors forward had 23 points during a loss to Oklahoma City last Friday and is averaging 18.8 points on 54.0 percent shooting over the past four games.

News: Robinson poured in 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 FT, 2-3 3Pt) to go with four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 24 minutes Saturday in the Warriors' overtime loss to the Kings.
Impact: Robinson will need to put up more games like this in the near future to show that it's a trend, but that's unlikely. Saturday's game was the second time in the last week that head coach Mark Jackson benched his starters in the fourth quarter in favor of the team's second unit. That resulted in more playing time than normal for Robinson. The fact is, Robinson's one of three guards on the Warriors' bench who are bidding for playing time and shots. He played 24 minutes Saturday, but in the team's previous game Robinson logged just 10 minutes.

News: Wright had a season-high 24 points (8-13 FG, 4-4 FT, 4-6 3Pt) to go with four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes Saturday in the Warriors' overtime loss to the Kings.
Impact: Wright has averaged 3.4 three-pointers in his last five games, which has also led to him averaging 17 points per contest over that span.

News: Robinson played just 10 minutes Thursday night in Golden State's win over Utah.
Impact: Robinson was a nice fill-in when Stephen Curry missed multiple games with an ankle injury, but Robinson's playing time has dissipated since Curry's return. Robinson has been under 20 minutes in five of the last six games.

News: Udoh had seven points, four rebounds, three blocked shots, one steal and one assist in 18 minutes Thursday night in Golden State's win over Utah.
Impact: Sure, the Warriors would like a bigger return from their first-round pick in 2010, but they'll take what they can get at this stage. If Udoh can have an impact in 20 minutes, it's a start. Udoh isn't engaged every night, making it easy for Golden State head coach Mark Jackson to limit his minutes.

News: Curry produced a 29-point/12-assist double-double on Thursday against the Jazz. He shot 10-of-14 from the field and 7-of-8 from the line, and also added five boards, three steals and two treys in 38 minutes of action.
Impact: This was a nice bounce-back effort for Curry, who had been held to only three points on 1-of-7 from the field in his last outing.

News: Ellis exploded for 33 points (13-for-21 FG, 4-for-5 FT) with four rebounds, three 3-pointers, three steals, and two assists in 40 minutes of action on Thursday night.
Impact: This was a huge breakout game for Ellis, who had been slumping to the tune of 9.7 points on 28 percent shooting from the field over his last three outings.

News: Lee produced a 23-point/14-rebound double-double on Thursday night against the Jazz. He was 9-of-23 from the field and 5-of-5 from the line, and also added two assists in 39 minutes of play.
Impact: This was Lee's first 20-10 double-double since Jan. 14, as in recent weeks he has alternated between having either a big scoring night or a big rebound effort but not both simultaneously.

News: Rush scored a season-high 20 points on 6-of-10 shooting, including four 3-pointers made, in 25 minutes Tuesday night in Golden State's win over Sacramento.
Impact: Rush and his other second-unit members got ample playing time Tuesday as head coach Mark Jackson went with the reserves for the entire fourth quarter. That's when Rush went off for 15 of his 20 points. Rush is shooting an other-worldly 59.3 percent from 3-point range this season.

News: Curry scored three points on 1-of-7 shooting and had eight assists in 26 minutes Tuesday night in Golden State's win over Sacramento.
Impact: Golden State head coach Mark Jackson sat his starters in the fourth quarter, which is why Curry's minutes were down. It had nothing to do with his ankle.

News: Ellis scored 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting with four rebounds, four assists and a steal in 28 minutes Tuesday night in Golden State's win over Sacramento.
Impact: Ellis and the rest of the Warriors' starters were on the bench for the fourth quarter when head coach Mark Jackson rolled with his second unit to secure the win. Ellis has been slumping the past three games, averaging 9.7 points on 28 percent (12-for-43) shooting from the field.

News: Biedrins played a season-high 25 minutes Tuesday night in Golden State's win over Sacramento.
Impact: Golden State head coach Mark Jackson had a conversation with Biedrins before the game, after the center expressed frustration Monday about his lack of playing time. Jackson got his center involved early, calling a few plays for him in the first quarter. Biedrins finished with five points, three rebounds and three blocked shots in the win.

News: Udoh scored six points with five rebounds and four blocked shots in 22 minutes Tuesday night in the Warriors' win over the Kings.
Impact: Golden State head coach Mark Jackson went with his bench unit, which included Udoh, for the entire fourth quarter. Udoh's playing time has been inconsistent this season, much like his production. If he can provide multiple blocks per game -- and blocking shots is his specialty -- Udoh may have a role on some fantasy teams.
