Stephen Curry - G - Golden State Warriors

Stephen Curry caught fire on Thursday, hitting 13-of-17 shots and six 3-pointers on his way to a season-high 36 points to go along with seven rebounds, seven assists, and two blocks as the Warriors got an easy win over the Nuggets.

He also committed just one turnover, and is clearly as healthy as he's been in a while. We'd recommend sitting back and enjoying the ride, but if you think his ankle will flare up again, now is also a nice time to sell high.

Ekpe Udoh - F/C - Golden State Warriors

Ekpe Udoh didn't score and had just two rebounds in 21 minutes, but blocked a season-high five shots in Thursday's win.

He has 14 blocks in his last five games, but isn't doing much else. If you are desperate in that category though, he is someone to take a look at with Kwame Brown out for the year and Andris Biedrins struggling.

Nate Robinson - G - Golden State Warriors

Nate Robinson returned from a groin injury and had five points, four rebounds and three assists in 11 minutes on Thursday.

The Warriors were up big late, which is when Robinson got most of his run. As long as Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry are healthy, Robinson belongs on waivers in most leagues.

Klay Thompson - G - Golden State Warriors

Klay Thompson played just 18 minutes but hit 8-of-11 shots and three 3-pointers for a season-high 19 points in Thursday's win.

Don't get too excited, as Thompson had scored four or less points in three of his previous four games. The kid can play, but the opportunity for minutes just isn't there as long as his teammates are healthy.

Nate Robinson - G - Golden State Warriors

Nate Robinson, who was expected back for Tuesday's game from a groin injury, is now expecteed to play on Thursday against the Nuggets.

As long as Stephen Curry and Monta Ellis are healthy (and they are), Robinson will struggle to earn consistent minutes, meaning he should be left on waivers in most leagues. However, owners of Curry in deeper leagues might be wise to stash Robinson as a handcuff if the waiver wire is thin in your league.

David Lee - F/C - Golden State Warriors

David Lee had 25 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and a block on 9-of-19 shooting to become the first Warriors PF to triple-double since Stephen Curry on Feb. 10, 2010.

This was Lee's second career trip-dub and he was fantastic tonight. He got called for a questionable fifth foul late in the game, and the Thunder took the lead when he was on the bench. But regardless of what happened in reality tonight as far as the Warriors losing, Lee is rolling, averaging 18 points, 10 boards and a steal per game on the season.

David Lee - F/C - Golden State Warriors

Courtney Lee came off the bench and played 31 minutes on his way to 16 points, four rebounds, three assists and four 3-pointers in a win over the Blazers.

Kevin McHale benched starter Kevin Martin and rolled with Lee and Chase Budinger, who also had a nice game. Martin should be back to heavy minutes on Thursday, while Lee had hit double figures in three of his previous four games. He's worth a look in deep leagues, but once Martin breaks out of his shooting funk (4-of-24 over his last three), Lee's minutes and production should take a hit.
