DiVincenzo isn't starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
DiVencenzo will return to a bench role with Quentin Grimes re-entering the starting five. DiVencenzo is coming off a solid showing Saturday against the Hornets (25 points, three rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 28 minutes), but he's averaging only 7.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over his last five matchups as a reserve.
DiVincenzo finished with 25 points (9-12 FG, 7-10 3Pt), three rebounds, three steals, three assists and a block across 28 minutes in Saturday's 122-108 win over the Hornets.
DiVincenzo maintained his place in the starting lineup for the second game in a row and was magnificent, setting up a season-high scoring mark and making his presence felt with his outside shooting. DiVincenzo has a solid chance to remain in the lineup if Quentin Grimes (wrist) is unable to play Monday against Minnesota.

Rotowire
DiVincenzo registered 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes during Friday's 120-99 win over the Wizards.
This was DiVincenzo's first start of the campaign, as Quentin Grimes (hand) and RJ Barrett (illness) were both held out Friday.

Knicks' Donte DiVincenzo: Gets starting nod
Rotowire
DiVincenzo is in the starting five for Friday's game versus Washington, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports.
DiVincenzo will replace Quentin Grimes (hand) in the starting lineup Friday. With RJ Barrett (illness) also out, DiVincenzo is likely to play more than his season average of 19.6 minutes per contest.
DiVincenzo amassed six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 116-114 win over the Hawks.
DiVincenzo recorded more turnovers (four) than assists (three) in Wednesday's win. Even with RJ Barrett (illness) out, DiVincenzo and Immanuel Quickley have continued to come off of New York's bench.

Knicks' Donte DiVincenzo: Efficient night in loss
Rotowire
DiVincenzo had 16 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3PT, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, two steals and a block across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 95-89 loss to the Cavaliers.
DiVincenzo's 30 minutes of play Wednesday were the most he's had on the year. On a night when the Knicks struggled from the field, DiVincenzo was the only player on the team to shoot better than 40 percent from the floor on five or more shot attempts. If he's able to shoot efficiently -- especially on nights when All-Stars Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle struggle with their shot -- then DiVincenzo should see consistent playing time on a night-to-night basis.

Knicks' Donte DiVincenzo: Hands out six assists
Rotowire
DiVincenzo posted three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, six assists and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 109-91 victory over the Cavaliers.
DiVincenzo offers plenty of upside in fantasy basketball because of his playmaking and solid steal rate, but he's currently being held back by a limited workload. Through four games, DiVincenzo has averaged just 17.5 minutes per contest.

Knicks' Donte DiVincenzo: Gets starting nod
Rotowire
DiVincenzo is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against Boston, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
DiVincenzo will be inserted into the starting lineup Tuesday with many of the Knicks' regulars sitting out. DiVincenzo signed a four-year, $50 million contract with New York this offseason and is expected to be one of their first options off the bench during the regular season.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Declines player option for 2023-24
Rotowire
DiVincenzo has declined his $4.73 million player option for the 2023-24 season and will become an unrestricted free agent, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
In his first season with Golden State, the 26-year-old averaged 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.3 minutes across 72 appearances (36 starts). He shot a career-high 39.7 percent from deep during the 2022-23 campaign and has always been a solid defender, so DiVincenzo should be in store for a raise this summer.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Reduced role continues
Rotowire
DiVincenzo posted zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 13 minutes during Wednesday's 121-106 victory over the Lakers in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
DiVincenzo managed just 13 minutes off the bench, a far cry from what he was doing only a month ago. The return of Gary Payton has certainly impacted DiVincenzo, cutting into what playing time there is to go around. While he is likely to remain in the rotation, Payton appears to be the preferred option right now, having been handed a starting role over the past two games.

Rotowire
DiVincenzo will return to the second unit for Monday's Game 2 versus Sacramento, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Andrew Wiggins is returning to the first unit, so the Warriors will have their standard starting five featuring Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Wiggins, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney for Monday's game. Through 36 games as a reserve, DiVincenzo registered averages of 8.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.9 triples and 1.2 steals per contest on 45.4 percent shooting in 22.3 minutes per night.

DiVincenzo notched his most assists since posting a season-high 11 against the Raptors on Jan. 27 and scored in double figures for a third consecutive contest. During that stretch, he's averaged 17.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.7 steals with 65/50/33 shooting splits.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Solid production off bench
Rotowire
DiVincenzo chipped in 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 136-125 victory over Oklahoma City.
DiVincenzo moved to the bench Tuesday, as the Warriors completely realigned their starting five, but he still played starter-level minutes and provided strong all-around production. Since the start of February, DiVincenzo has started 22 of 30 appearances and averaged 10.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 28.1 minutes during that stretch.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Returns to bench unit
Rotowire
DiVincenzo isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
After starting in Golden State's last 22 games, DiVincenzo will be replaced by Jordan Poole in the starting lineup Tuesday. DiVincenzo has averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.1 minutes across his previous 35 appearances coming off the bench this season.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Logs fourth double-double in loss
Rotowire
DiVincenzo finished Sunday's 112-110 loss to Denver with 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes.
Although DiVincenzo serves as one of the team's best scoring options, he's a source of frustration for fantasy managers. His recent five-game run is a perfect example of his inconsistency, as he sprinkled in games with zero and two points among more respectable results. Solid shotmaking beyond the arc is key to his success, and he will face two teams that have trouble defending the three in the coming week. The Kings rank 26th and the Trail Blazers are 29th in opponent three-point percentage this season.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Spurs 8-0 run in third quarter
Rotowire
DiVincenzo racked up 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 120-109 victory over the Pelicans.
DiVincenzo started out slow but popped at the right moment, leading an 8-0 run that cut the Pelicans' lead in half in the third quarter. He ended up finishing a solid all-around line, bouncing back from a lull over the past two games in which he produced just two points. Despite the strong showing Tuesday, DiVincenzo still couldn't clear 25 minutes, and the recent return of Gary Payton from an extended absence looks as though it'll put a ceiling on DiVincenzo's playing time moving forward.
DiVincenzo finished with 20 points (7-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 37 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 overtime win over Milwaukee.
DiVincenzo had one of his worst games as a starter this season his previous time out, scoring just two points and missing all four of his three-point attempts across 21 minutes against Memphis. He bounced back in resounding fashion Saturday, notching his third double-double of the campaign and tying his career high with six three-pointers. Despite this big performance, fantasy managers would be wise to avoid rushing to grab him off the wavier wire. Over his previous five contests, DiVincenzo averaged just 5.6 points on an ugly 23.5 percent shooting mark over 30.8 minutes per game.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Night to forget Thursday
Rotowire
DiVincenzo totaled two points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Thursday's 131-110 loss to the Grizzlies.
DiVincenzo was terrible in the loss, putting up arguably his worst performance of the season. He was replaced in the starting unit to open the second half, although his relegation did nothing to sweeten what was a sour night. While production like this certainly warrants him being dropped, the fact he had been playing well prior to this -- he's not too far removed from back-to-back 21-point outings to close out February -- should afford him at least a couple of games to get things back on track.

Warriors' Donte DiVincenzo: Stays hot from three
Rotowire
DiVincenzo finished with 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 win over the Trail Blazers.
Over his past three appearances, DiVincenzo has averaged 19.0 points per game and has made 14 of his last 27 three-pointers (56 percent). He's drawn five straight starts in the absence of Andrew Wiggins (personal) and figures to remain a prominent piece of the rotation until Wiggins and Stephen Curry (lower leg) return to the starting five.
