Draymond Green Ruled Out for Monday's Game

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Green was originally probable, but got downgraded to questionable later in the day. Now, Green will officially sit this game out due to a right ankle sprain. The Warriors will likely use a committee approach to fill the void in the rotation. Quinten Post, Trayce Jackson-Davis, and Al Horford are all candidates to see extended playing time. Among the trio, Horford has been the most consistent contributor among the big men. Horford is worth a look as a streaming option for Monday's slate with Green on the bench.

Draymond Green Downgraded to Questionable on Monday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Monday's matchup with the Miami Heat. The 35-year-old veteran has played in eight of nine Warriors games in January, but with his status downgraded to questionable, he is in danger of missing tonight's tilt. If Green is unable to suit up, Golden State's frontcourt will have to rely on Quinten Post, Al Horford, and Trayce Jackson-Davis to take on extra minutes.

De'Anthony Melton Out for Front End of Back-to-Back

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will sit out the front end of the team's back-to-back set, with his next opportunity to play coming Tuesday against Toronto. His absence nudges minutes and usage across a crowded wing rotation. Brandin Podziemski stands to benefit most after producing 16 points, six rebounds, and seven assists in 30 minutes on Friday, while Buddy Hield, Gary Payton II, and Will Richard should also see added run. The rotation remains fluid, keeping all three as situational fantasy options.

Gui Santos Sidelined vs. Hornets with Sprained Ankle

Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos (ankle) will not play Saturday against Charlotte after spraining his left ankle in the first quarter of Thursday's win over New York. His absence trims wing depth and opens short-term minutes. Moses Moody is positioned for a steadier role after scoring 21 points with seven three-pointers in 28 minutes last game, giving him streamer appeal tied to volume. Brandin Podziemski continues to benefit as a secondary creator after posting 19 points, five rebounds, and two steals in 26 minutes. De'Anthony Melton and Al Horford should also see modest bumps in playing time.

Gui Santos Exits Early with Ankle Injury

Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's game against the Knicks after suffering a left ankle sprain in the first quarter. Santos finished with three points, one rebound, and one block in five minutes before being shut down. The injury carries little standalone fantasy impact, but it does create minor ripple effects in the rotation. Al Horford and Trayce Jackson-Davis are candidates for added frontcourt minutes. Brandin Podziemski could also see a slight uptick in run and secondary usage, keeping him relevant in deeper formats.

Jonathan Kuminga Demanding Trade from Warriors

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga demanded a trade from the Warriors on the first day he became eligible to be moved. The fifth-year forward signed a two-year, $46.8 million contract as a restricted free agent this past offseason with a team option on the second season. The season has not gone well, though, and Kuminga has totally fallen out of the rotation for the last 13 games. He flashed lots of upside when playing with the starting unit early in the season and when called upon for expanded usage last season. Especially because of his flexible contract structure, he should draw plenty of interest, and the Kings and Mavericks are among the teams already rumored to be interested in him. Kuminga will be a key piece to watch ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA Trade Deadline, and his change of scenery could make him a valuable fantasy piece depending on where he lands.

Draymond Green Upgraded to Probable on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Green was previously considered questionable after spraining his left ankle during Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. If the 34-year-old has a setback and is unable to suit up, Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis are likely to see increased playing time. That said, it's a difficult fantasy matchup for Green or the other two big men, as Milwaukee allows the third-fewest fantasy points to centers.

Draymond Green Questionable to Suit Up Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Green could already miss his second game this month after spraining his left ankle during Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis are candidates for increased playing time if Green misses Wednesday's action. That said, it's a difficult fantasy matchup for the duo, as Milwaukee allows the third-fewest fantasy points to centers.

Draymond Green Set to Return Saturday After Rest Day

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (rest) will play Saturday against the Jazz after sitting out Friday's loss to Oklahoma City in the first leg of a back-to-back. Green steps back into his usual frontcourt role after averaging 9.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.0 steals in 23.8 minutes over December. His availability squeezes minutes for Trayce Jackson-Davis and Quinten Post, while Gui Santos becomes harder to trust outside deep formats. Green remains a low-usage glue piece best suited for category balance.

Stephen Curry Sidelined with Ankle Sprain on Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (ankle) has been downgraded to out on Friday and will not take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar point guard is dealing with an ankle sprain that will cause him to miss at least one contest so far. Jimmy Butler III (illness) has also been ruled out, so Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard may join Moses Moody in the starting five. Podziemski has averaged 12.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.0 steals per game while Moody has put up 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per contest. Both could serve as solid streaming options in most fantasy formats while Richard would have more value in deeper leagues.

Jimmy Butler III Will Not Play Against Thunder

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an illness. The veteran wing is coming off of a very efficient and well-rounded game against the Charlotte Hornets on New Years Eve. Unfortunately, Butler will be joined by Stephen Curry (ankle) and Draymond Green (rest) on the sidelines for this game, so Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, and Moses Moody should all see added minutes. Podziemski is likely the more reliable streaming option, but Moody has been more consistent than Richard with averages of 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per contest.

Seth Curry Sidelined on Friday Vs. Thunder

Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry (back) will not suit up against the Oklahoma City Thunder while he suffers from sciatic nerve irritation. The 35-year-old has only been able to play in two games for the Warriors so far while the team has been hit hard with the injury bug lately. Most of the backcourt is going to miss this game, so that leaves Will Richard, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody to get more opportunities. Since Stephen Curry (ankle) and Jimmy Butler III (illness) are both ruled out, Podziemski and Richard could join the starting five. The former would be a more reliable option for fantasy managers as he averages 12.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.0 threes per game.

Draymond Green Getting a Rest Day Against Thunder

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (rest) will not play on Friday against the defending champ Oklahoma City Thunder. The former Defensive Player of the Year is receiving a rest day which will open up some minutes for Al Horford (probable - back) and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Horford may move into the starting five, but has only started in one game out of his 16 appearances. Jackson-Davis has the same amount of starts, and similar stats to the former Celtic. Both could give fantasy managers in category formats some points and rebounds with a higher efficiency, but there are better options for shallower leagues. Especially if Jonathan Kuminga finally gets into the mix again for this game.

Draymond Green Resting on Friday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (rest) will be in street clothes on Friday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After making eight consecutive appearances, the veteran will be rested for the first leg of a back-to-back. Green will probably return to the lineup for Saturday's meeting with the Utah Jazz. In the meantime, Quinten Post, Gui Santos, Al Horford (sciatica), and Trayce Jackson-Davis (knee) could get more work. The latter two are also on the injury report, but the team considers them probable for Friday's matchup.

Stephen Curry Questionable Friday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's tilt against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran star has played through an ankle sprain for a couple of games, but he may take Friday night off to get some rest during a back-to-back set. Golden State faces the Utah Jazz on Saturday, and Draymond Green (rest) has already been ruled out for Friday's contest against the reigning champions. If Curry sits, Brandin Podziemski will probably be the biggest beneficiary, while Buddy Hield, Will Richard, and Pat Spencer may also help fill his minutes.

Jimmy Butler III • SF • Warriors

Jimmy Butler III Cleared for Action Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (back) will suit up on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran star is dealing with lower back soreness but is ready to make his ninth consecutive appearance in the second leg of a back-to-back. While Butler struggled to hit shots in Sunday's overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors, he still had a decent fantasy line with 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Monday night could also prove to be difficult on the offensive end for Butler, as the Nets have been among the NBA's best defensive teams in recent weeks.

Al Horford • C • Warriors

Al Horford Back on the Sidelines Monday Night

Golden State Warriors center Al Horford (toe) is back on the injury report and won't play on Monday night in Brooklyn. The 39-year-old has been in street clothes more often than his uniform in his first season with the Warriors. When he's active, he's playing about 20 minutes per game, while shooting a career-low 36% from the field. Quentin Post will continue to start at center for Golden State, with Trayce Jackson-Davis filling in the gaps.

De'Anthony Melton • SG • Warriors

De'Anthony Melton Sits Out First Leg of Back-to-Back

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) won't suit up for the first leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Melton missed almost the entire 2024-25 campaign due to a torn ACL, and the team is managing his workload. The 27-year-old will likely be brought back into the lineup on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. With Melton out on Sunday, Buddy Hield and Pat Spencer could get back into the rotation after both players sat out Christmas Day action against the Dallas Mavericks.

Brandin Podziemski • SG • Warriors

Brandin Podziemski Probable to Play Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) is considered probable for Sunday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He has sustained a left abdominal contusion, but this likely won't keep Podziemski off the court. The 22-year-old has had his most consistent stretch of the season lately, finishing with double-digit points in five consecutive games. He has averaged 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists during that stretch, logging nearly 30 minutes per game despite coming off the bench.

Seth Curry • SG • Warriors

Seth Curry to Remain Sidelined on Christmas Day

Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry (glute) won't be in the lineup on Christmas Day against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran sniper is managing a left glute injury and hasn't played since Dec. 4. Curry signed with the Warriors on Dec. 1 for the rest of the season and managed to make just two appearances before dropping out of the lineup. Curry's next opportunity to play will be on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors, though he holds no fantasy value.
