Moses Moody’s Explosive Career Night Leaves Fans and Analysts Stunned—What’s Next for the Rising Star?

Moses Moody just dropped a performance that makes you wonder — is this the breakout moment we’ve been waiting for? On Sunday night, the Golden State Warriors cruised to a 124-106 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, but it was Moody who truly lit up the scoreboard, pouring in a sizzling 32 points in just 33 minutes. Seven three-pointers in the first quarter alone? That’s not a fluke—that’s an announcement. With Steph Curry limited to nine points and the Warriors still finding their footing this season, Moody’s explosive night is more than a career high—it’s a glimpse of what this team desperately needs as they navigate injuries and inconsistency. Could this be the moment Moses steps out of the shadows and into the spotlight? Let’s dive into how his sharpshooting might just be the spark Golden State needed.

The Golden State Warriors waltzed to a 124-106 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night, and it was Moses Moody who led the way.

As noted by Anthony Slater, Moody reached a career high during that game, scoring 32 points in 33 minutes. He also made seven three-pointers during the first quarter alone and was 10-of-16 from the field overall.

“Moses Moody just hit a new career-high: 32 points in 33 minutes tonight. He made seven first quarter 3s, eight total and is 10/16 FG overall,” Slater posted on X.

Moody’s input was greatly appreciated because Steph Curry was only able to chip in nine points. However, Jimmy Butler was more helpful with his 18 points and 10 assists.

Moody is now in his fifth season with the Warriors and is averaging 13.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists during his 13 games. Clearly, his work on Sunday was a huge step up from that and led the way to an easy victory.

The Warriors are the seventh seed in the West right now, but they are hoping to climb up from that. But so far this season, they have faced some unfortunate losses as well as an injury to Curry.

The team seems to be figuring itself out still, and performances like this one from Moody will help them find their identity moving forward. For the majority of his career, he has mostly filled the role of a bench player, but Moody could get more time in the starting five if he is still producing numbers like these.

The Warriors will wrap up their six-game road trip over the next few days with games against the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat. They are hoping to see more work like this from Moody during those matches.
