Denis Schroeder makes his Golden State Warriors debut against the Memphis Grizzlies. Watch the game live for free on Fubo.
The Golden State Warriors (14-11) made the first splash of the trade season, sending the injured De’Anthony Melton to the Brooklyn Nets for Denis Schroder. He was not available for Golden State’s last game, but could be in the lineup against the Memphis Grizzlies (18-9). Adding a veteran playmaker like Schroder helps fix the lack of playmaking this season for Golden State when Stephen Curry or Draymond Green, or both, are off the court. This season Golden State is +12.7 when Curry is on the court and scoring 19.4 more points per 100 possessions. When he is off the court the offense takes a nosedive. Schroder is having a career-best season after a great run in the 2024 Paris Olympics for Germany.

This season Schroder is averaging 18.4 points and 6.6 assists per game in 23 games with Brooklyn. He will likely fit into the starting lineup, but also gives Golden State insurance for weaker bench play than the team expected heading into the season.
The first game between the teams took place a month ago and as a part of the NBA Cup. Golden State won that game 123-118 with a balanced offensive attack. They finished that game with 10 different players scoring at least eight points led by Buddy Hield with 18 points off the bench.
Memphis was without Ja Morant in the loss. They were led by Jaren Jackson Jr. with 32 points on 10-11 shooting from the free-throw line. Since then Memphis has gone 11-3 and rocketed up the Western Conference standings.
