Moody was the 14th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and is in his fourth season in the league (all with Golden State).

He has been unable to get a consistent spot in the rotation but has shown flashes of potential.

Currently, the 22-year-old is averaging 15.6 minutes of playing time.

The Warriors got off to a sensational start to the season and (at one point) were the first seed in the Western Conference.

They enter Wednesday's matchup as the fifth seed with a 14-9 record in 23 games.

Over the last ten games, the Warriors have gone 4-6.
