Warriors' Kevon Looney: Pulls down seven rebounds
Rotowire
Looney ended Monday's 125-85 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes.
With Draymond Green (calf) sidelined for at least three more games, Looney could have a bit more opportunity in the short term behind Trayce Jackson-Davis. Over Looney's last four outings, he's been productive in limited minutes with 7.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.8 blocks in 19.7 minutes.
Looney registered eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 21 minutes during Thursday's 107-104 win over Detroit.
After missing four of the last seven games, Looney played well in 21 minutes off the bench for the Warriors during Thursday's win against the Pistons. The veteran big man is averaging 5.1 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 54.7 percent from the floor this season.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Perfect from field in victory
Rotowire
Looney chipped in six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in eight minutes during Thursday's 139-105 win over the 76ers.
Looney has been slowly phased out of Golden State's rotation, as he didn't even receive any playing time during the team's previous two outings. Trayce Jackson-Davis has fully cemented himself as the starting center, and coach Steve Kerr typically opts to go with smaller bench lineups. Unless there is a significant uptick in Looney's role, his fantasy value will continue to diminish.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Returning to bench role
Rotowire
Looney is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.
Head coach Steve Kerr has decided to tweak the Warriors' frontcourt for this matchup against the Timberwolves, meaning Looney will return to the bench while Trayce Jackson-Davis gets the start at center. Looney's numbers haven't experienced many changes regardless of his role, though, and he's not expected to have a lot of fantasy upside in most formats.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Looney had 12 points (6-8 FG), nine rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 win over Minnesota.
Looney had a productive outing on a night the Warriors needed some size in the frontcourt to match up with Minnesota. Unless his role improves, Looney is a difficult player to trust outside of deeper formats -- he's averaging 16.6 minutes per game this season and is mostly a rebounding specialist with 7.9 boards per game.

Warriors' Kevon Looney: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Looney (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Looney will be in street clothes for the first time this season -- his only other absence was a healthy DNP. In the veteran's absence, Trayce Jackson-Davis may play more minutes, but Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga and Kyle Anderson are also candidates for increased roles because the Warriors lack a true center behind Jackson-Davis and Looney.

Looney delivered a strong showing off the bench, and he's now scored at least nine points while grabbing double-digit boards in back-to-back contests. Don't be surprised if he starts to see more minutes in the coming weeks, and he could even steal the starting role off Trayce Jackson-Davis if he continues to outplay him in the coming games.
