Moody has played in 51 games this season, starting 10, and is much more effective in the starting lineup. The rookie averages 9.5 points and 3.1 rebounds as a starter, compared to 3.1 and 1.2 as a sub.
The Warriors still have something to play for, needing a win to guarantee themselves the third seed in the West. A loss, coupled with a Dallas Mavericks win, would drop the Warriors to fourth in the Western Conference.
Golden State is on the road tonight, but the betting market at FanDuel Sportsbook still has them installed as favorites. The Dubs enter tonight’s matchup against the Pels as -6.5 chalk, with the total set at 221.
