De'Anthony Melton Ruled Out Against Spurs

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (thumb) will miss Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to a left thumb strain, opening extra backcourt minutes. Gary Payton II (knee), if cleared, could be the main beneficiary after posting 16 points and five rebounds in 21 minutes last game and providing steady two-way production recently. Pat Spencer may also see more playmaking opportunities after recording eight assists in 24 minutes. Will Richard could re-enter the rotation as well. Melton's absence opens some deep-league and DFS streaming options, but there isn't an obvious one-for-one replacement in standard leagues.

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will not play Wednesday against San Antonio, leaving the team thin in the frontcourt. With Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) also unavailable, Draymond Green could see more time at center after finishing with 13 points, eight assists, and four rebounds in 30 minutes last game. Omer Yurtseven may also pick up situational minutes, though his role remains uncertain. Porzingis' absence could also open extra run for Malevy Leons. Fantasy managers should expect Golden State to rely more on Green's versatility in small-ball looks.

Stephen Curry Likely Sidelined for Two More Games

According to Anthony Slater of ESPN, Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will likely miss two more games. Curry is out for Wednesday's matchup against San Antonio and is listed as doubtful for Thursday's contest versus Cleveland. Head coach Steve Kerr said Curry went through a full practice on Tuesday. The 38-year-old appears to be nearing a return, with a potential target of Sunday's game against Houston. In the meantime, Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos should continue to handle increased offensive responsibilities, while Pat Spencer and Gary Payton II are also in line for additional playing time.

Will Richard Won't Suit Up Sunday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. His run of 10 consecutive appearances will come to an end due to a sore left heel. Richard started in Golden State's most recent game but made a limited impact in 25 minutes. De'Anthony Melton (knee) is expected to return to the first unit on Sunday and will look to finish the month strongly. He has notched 14.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.8 steals per game in March.

Seth Curry Active Against Nuggets

Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry (adductor) will be active on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. He has recovered from a left adductor strain and could make his first appearance since March 13. Since joining the Warriors in December, Curry has taken the floor just four times. He has finished two of the games scoreless, while netting 27 points in the other two contests. Curry has impressed with a 4-for-7 success rate from deep. His ability to hit threes could be handy for the Warriors in a matchup against a team that allows the eighth-most three-point attempts in the league.

Quinten Post Back in Action Sunday Night

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (foot) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. He has been managing a foot injury lately, missing three games. Post will add frontcourt depth to a Warriors team that currently can't count on Al Horford (calf). The 26-year-old has a tough matchup against Nikola Jokic on Sunday night. In his previous three clashes with the Nuggets this season, Post has posted averages of 4.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 15.0 minutes per game.

Al Horford to Be Re-Evaluated in One Week

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (calf) will be re-evaluated in one week, the team announced on Friday. The veteran big man will miss an eighth consecutive game on Friday against Washington due to a strained right soleus. Golden State noted that Horford is making "good progress" and has started light on-court workouts in recent days. After Friday night, Horford will miss at least three more games, but he could be available for the final few regular-season matchups. With Quinten Post (foot) also out, Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis must carry the frontcourt. Omer Yurtseven has also entered the rotation and signed a second 10-day contract with the Warriors earlier this week.

Stephen Curry to Sit Out At Least Two More Games

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will miss at least two more games, ESPN's Anthony Slater and Shams Charania report. He isn't ready to make his comeback on Friday night against Washington and will also miss Sunday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. Curry will be re-evaluated next week. Until the former MVP returns to the lineup, Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos will lead the Warriors' offense. His absence has also led to increased playing time for Pat Spencer, Gary Payton II, and Will Richard.

De'Anthony Melton Won't Play Friday Night

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's clash against the Washington Wizards. Following his impressive all-around performance in Wednesday's win over Brooklyn, Melton has a late addition to the injury report on Friday afternoon. After initially listing him as questionable, the Warriors have now ruled Melton out due to left knee injury management. His absence should give players like Pat Spencer and Will Richard more work in a fantastic fantasy matchup against the NBA's worst defensive team.

Moses Moody Sidelined for Remainder of Season

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody has been diagnosed with a torn patellar tendon in his left knee, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Due to the injury, Moody's career-best season ends as he finishes with averages of 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.7 minutes per contest across 60 outings. With Moody out for the foreseeable future, Gui Santos, Gary Payton II and Will Richard are all candidates for larger roles.

Stephen Curry Won't Return on Wednesday

Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports that Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets as he continues recovering from right knee soreness. Curry has been out of action since the beginning of February and it's unclear when he will return. Slater also noted that the 38-year-old hopes to participate in a scrimmage in the near future and see how the knee feels. In the meantime, Brandin Podziemski and De'Anthony Melton should continue seeing expanded backcourt roles and streaming appeal. Both guards offer fantasy value for scoring and assists.

Moses Moody Stretchered Off With Knee Injury

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody suffered a non-contact left knee injury in Monday's 137-131 overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks. He needed to be stretchered off the floor after being hurt with 1:13 left in overtime. This was Moody's first appearance in three weeks, having recovered from a wrist injury. The 23-year-old scored a team-high 23 points and had three rebounds, three assists, three steals, and two blocks. Moody is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it looks like his season is over. If that's the case, the Warriors are likely to bring Gui Santos back into the first unit. Gary Payton II and Will Richard are also candidates for larger roles.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (wrist) and guard De'Anthony Melton (hand) have been cleared to play on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks.

Kristaps Porzingis Ready to Rock Monday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will play on Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. The team initially listed Porzingis as probable for the game after he sat out Saturday's loss to Atlanta with a back issue. Porzingis has made seven appearances since joining the Warriors, posting averages of 14.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks in 20.3 minutes per game. With Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (foot) in street clothes on Monday, Porzingis will have a crucial role to play in the Warriors' frontcourt. He will make his fourth start with the team.

Stephen Curry to Miss Next Two Games

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) will miss the team's next two games as he continues recovering from right knee soreness, with another evaluation scheduled when the team returns home Tuesday. Curry has begun increasing his on-court workload and could be nearing a return if that checkup goes well. In the meantime, Brandin Podziemski and De'Anthony Melton should continue seeing expanded backcourt roles and streaming appeal. Both guards offer fantasy value for scoring and assists, while Draymond Green may also handle more playmaking responsibilities during Curry's absence.

Draymond Green • PF • Warriors

Draymond Green Available Saturday Against Atlanta

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) is available for Saturday's game against Atlanta after being listed as questionable with lower-back soreness. The veteran remains a key facilitator and defensive anchor, even when scoring is limited. In his last outing, Green finished with zero points but contributed five rebounds and six assists in 22 minutes. His availability is important with Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Al Horford (calf) still sidelined, which should keep Green locked into meaningful minutes. He remains valuable in category leagues for his assists and defensive stats, while Gui Santos and Quinten Post (foot) could continue seeing frontcourt opportunities.

De'Anthony Melton Cleared to Play Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks after being listed as questionable, marking his first time playing both ends of a back-to-back this season. Melton's minutes have fluctuated, but he has remained fantasy relevant, averaging 16.0 points, 1.6 three-pointers, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last five games. He remains a viable option in standard leagues for scoring and steals when his minutes hold. Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos should continue seeing steady roles, while Melton provides backcourt depth with defensive upside.

Kristaps Porzingis • C • Warriors

Kristaps Porzingis Out Saturday Against Hawks

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) will not play Saturday against Atlanta after exiting Friday's loss to Detroit because of back tightness. With Draymond Green (back) and Quinten Post (foot) available, both could help cover frontcourt minutes. Green finished with five rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one block in 22 minutes Friday and offers value in deeper formats for defensive stats and assists. Post is more of a speculative deep-league option after producing six points, five rebounds, and three assists in his previous appearance. Gui Santos should also continue seeing steady minutes as a secondary option.

Kristaps Porzingis Exits Early, Likely Out Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Atlanta after exiting Friday's loss to Detroit early, finishing with five points, three rebounds, and two blocks in 11 minutes. His absence could open short-term streaming value in deeper formats. Omer Yurtseven posted eight points, six rebounds, and two assists in 21 minutes Friday and could see another workload bump. Quinten Post (foot), if cleared, is another deep-league option. Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos may also see added usage.

Quinten Post is Ruled Out for Friday's Game

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Warriors have decided to hold out Post during the front end of this back-to-back set. Al Horford (calf) is also sidelined, so the Warriors will rely on Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis at the center spot. Possibly, Omer Yurtseven gets involved as well, but he's unlikely to play enough to warrant streaming. Post figures to return for Saturday's game, but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update.
