The Golden State Warriors have gotten good contributions from multiple players on their roster in the absence of Steph Curry. That was no different in their upset win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday afternoon, as, without Curry, Draymond Green, or Kristaps Porzingis in the lineup, numerous opportunities were available to go around.

Al Horford and Brandin Podziemski got most of the attention for stuffing the stat sheet, but neither of them actually led the Warriors in scoring. Instead, it was Moses Moody scoring 23 points with four triples, demonstrating how quietly good he's been over the last few weeks.

Moody has been magnificent for over a month now, being a consistent presence in the starting lineup no matter who's next to him

After the win over the Nuggets, he reflected on his improved play and how he handles the varying lineups due to injuries.

"Simplifying the game. I know what I'm good at, being the player that I am right now. The player that I am next season might not be the player that I am right now, but I said it before, being where your feet are, making the best out of your situation. 'Cause I had a conversation with Coach yesterday and I was asking, 'With Steph (Curry) being gone, do you need me to do anything else? Does my role change at all?' And he was saying that's one of his favorite things about me, saying just that the composure and being solid, and I've been really solid for a long time ... And there's times in the game where you get too hype, and you wanna go takeover, and you wanna go do something, and you gotta calm down and remember like 'play your role,' and when a lot of guys do that, that's how all of these assists and all of these spread out points, that's how a team win happens."

Moody is correct in his explanation of the team win. In all of the Warriors' improbable wins this season, where they were missing Curry or other starters, it's been an elite team effort that propels them to victory, not a single player taking over the carry job.

Moody was a bit of a streaky player at the beginning of the season as his three-point shot — his main calling card — faded in and out. However, since the calendar turned to 2026, he's been simply incredible.

Specifically, in his last 17 games since January 13th, Moody has scored in double-figures in all but one game. In that stretch, he's averaging 15.1 points per game on 51.2% from the field and 46.8% from beyond the arc in just 27 minutes per game.

It's truly a sight to see, especially considering the slump Moody was experiencing in December, when he averaged under 9 points per game and shot just 33% from three.

Additionally, outside of the first two games of the season, he's played in every single Warriors game, a welcome reprieve from the injuries that many other Warriors have picked up this year.

Moody's contributions aren't usually the most eye-popping stats, but it's his ability to be a connector, defender, and quality shooter for the Warriors that has allowed him to blossom into a great role player.
