With Stephen Curry , Andrew Wiggins and De'Anthony Melton set to miss Tuesday's contest, the Golden State Warriors needed a player to step up against the New Orleans Pelicans . Offseason addition Lindy Waters III answered the bell for the Warriors on Tuesday night at Chase Center.
Steve Kerr leaned on Waters III off the bench, playing the third-year wing 31 minutes off the bench against the Pelicans . Waters III delivered. The former Oklahoma State Cowboy tallied 21 points on 8-of-13 shooting from the field with three made 3-pointers. Waters III notched a new career-high with eight rebounds and matched a career-high with four assists against the Pelicans on Tuesday night.

With the Warriors trailing by as many as 20 early in the game, Waters III provided a much-needed spark off the bench to help rally Golden State to a comeback victory, 124-106.
