The Warriors are on a tough road trip without several key pieces of their rotation. Stretching their roster even thinner, Draymond Green (back) and Stephen Curry (knees) will be out on Friday for the second night of the team’s back-to-back in addition to Andrew Wiggins (personal), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle), and Brandin Podziemski (abdomen), who were all out on Thursday. Dennis Schroder ($5,400) and Buddy Hield ($4,100) will carry a lot of work in the backcourt, but Kyle Anderson ($3,500) is an even cheaper play who could be in for a huge workload in the frontcourt, especially if Trayce Jackson-Davis ($5,500; eye, questionable) joins the growing list of Warriors on the sidelines.

SF/PF Kyle Anderson at Indiana Pacers, $3,500
Anderson could end up in the starting five despite playing only nine minutes on Thursday. When the veteran has been given a bigger workload this season, he has been able to still post solid fantasy numbers. He played 27 minutes against Miami on Tuesday and had 27.25 fantasy points on five points, five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks. Earlier this month, he had 21.25 fantasy points in 22 minutes against Memphis with a similar well-diversified line of seven points, three rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal.
In every game he has played 20+ minutes this season, he has produced at least 19.75 fantasy points. While he doesn’t typically explode for huge numbers in any one category, he’s involved across the board and stuffs the stat sheet.
Getting him for only $3,500 should help you save salary to spend on other stars, so give Slo Mo a look since the 31-year-old vet could end up with a very expanded workload on Friday, especially if TJD is out.
