Double-doubles in start

Ike was given the starting nod, with Golden State going without a number of its usual rotation pieces. Ike has played relatively well in all three games this season, highlighting the Warriors' lack of center depth. While this should be viewed as an outlier, the fact is that he could certainly force his way into even more minutes given the lack of stellar competition. He isn't someone who needs to be prioritized but should be monitored moving forward.

Back on track despite loss

After two poor performances to open the season, Melton finally turned things around, rewarding those who managed to hold onto him. While it did take a number of injuries for him to get there, this was definitely an encouraging effort by the veteran. Based on this performance, he is probably worth holding for at least a few more games, just in case this spurs him into action.

Drops 20 points in spot start

With Golden State opting to rest a number of players, Williams was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season. He certainly made the most of his opportunity, finishing as one of three Warriors players to score at least 20 points. While this is likely just a one-off, it is worth keeping an eye on Williams' role moving forward. Should Golden State's trajectory continue downward, there is a scenario in which Williams could see more run later in the season.
