Coach Steve Kerr confirmed that Speights would see an increased role off the bench in the coming weeks while Festus Ezeli remains out indefinitely following knee surgery, CSN Bay Area's Monte Poole reports.

Analysis:

The 28-year-old has seen double-digit minutes in each of the last six games while Ezeli has remained out, so he figures to stick in the 10-to-20 minute range for the foreseeable future. That's probably not enough playing time for Speights to provide much consistent fantasy value, but he's occasionally shown the ability to post strong point totals on a per-minute basis. In his last game Saturday against the Thunder, Speights tallied a season-high 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting in 17 minutes.
