Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Double-doubles with two steals
Lendeborg amassed 25 points (9-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 10 rebounds and two steals over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 115-108 loss to the Rockets.
This was Lendeborg's third straight 20-plus-point performance, and the third double-double of his career. The rookie ranks inside the top-50 on the season with averages of 21.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.4 triples, 1.1 steals and 0.7 swats per contest on 51.8 percent shooting from the field and 74.3 percent at the line.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Perfect from deep in rout
Lendeborg totaled 23 points (8-10 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 138-87 win over New Orleans.
Lendeborg was nearly flawless from the field, hitting all four of his three-point attempts. He also filled the box score in just 27 minutes. The rookie continues to look like the Warriors' No. 2 option behind Stephen Curry, and his all-around production should keep him in standard lineups. The lopsided score kept his minutes in check, but he still did plenty even in limited action.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Scores 23 points with three blocks
Lendeborg notched 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 37 minutes in Saturday's 126-119 overtime win over the Magic.
Lendeborg combined efficient scoring with strong rebounding and rim protection, delivering one of his most complete performances of the season and ending just two boards shy of a double-double. His six turnovers were a drawback, but the 37-minute workload demonstrated Golden State's willingness to rely on him in competitive situations. His versatile statistical profile offers considerable fantasy upside as his role continues to develop, and he remains one of the most productive rookies in this year's class. He's averaging 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and a combined 1.8 steals-plus-blocks in his first 10 appearances of the season.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Continues impressive start to season
Lendeborg contributed 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 120-100 win over Miami.
Lendeborg continues to play at a high level for the Warriors this season and posted a third straight game surpassing the 15-point threshold -- a mark he's achieved in seven of his nine appearances thus far. Lendeborg should continue to operate as the Warriors' No. 2 option on offense behind Stephen Curry for the time being, giving him the highest upside of any rookie from the 2026-27 class so far.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Scores 16 in comeback win
Lendeborg logged 16 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 116-113 win over the Suns.
Lendeborg followed Sunday's career-high 37-point performance with another productive outing, overcoming a difficult shooting night by getting to the free-throw line nine times. The rookie also contributed across multiple categories and played a key role in Golden State's comeback, including a late block on Jalen Green. Lendeborg's expanding offensive responsibilities make him an intriguing fantasy option.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Career-high 37 points in Sunday's win
Lendeborg tallied 37 points (13-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal over 34 minutes in a 124-112 win over the Clippers on Sunday.
Lendeborg scored 24 of his game-high 37 points between the second and third quarters of Sunday's game, and he picked up the scoring responsibilities in the absence of Stephen Curry (rest). Sunday was Lendeborg's second game of 30-plus points, and he has scored at least 26 points in four of his last five outings. In that five-game span, he has averaged 25.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 3.2 threes over 32.0 minutes per contest. The rookie 11th-overall pick has given the Warriors exactly what they need on offense, especially in the absence of Jimmy Butler (knee), who is not expected to make his 2026-27 debut until the new calendar year.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Scores 26 points in win
Lendeborg posted 26 points (11-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 119-114 win over the Timberwolves.
Lendeborg has surpassed even the most optimistic expectations early in the season, and this was the third straight game in which he surpassed the 25-point plateau. His 20 field-goal attempts and 35-minute workload were particularly encouraging, highlighting his growing role in Golden State's offense as the No. 2 option on offense behind Stephen Curry, who scored 44 points in this win. Lendeborg's scoring and rebounding potential gives him considerable fantasy upside, and he's averaging a robust 22.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and a combined 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in his first five appearances.
