Quinten Post Starting Monday Night

Golden State Warriors center Quinten Post will join the starting lineup for Monday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. The Warriors head into the action without Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), giving Post a chance to make his 33rd start of the campaign. He has averaged 9.1 points and 4.4 rebounds as a member of the first unit. On Monday, he's in a good position to eclipse these numbers, as the Jazz have had trouble against opposing big men all season.

Will Richard Ruled Out Against Jazz

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (ankle) will miss his fourth consecutive contest on Monday against the Utah Jazz due to a right ankle sprain. His next chance to return is on Tuesday night against the Bulls. Seth Curry (back) is set to return, so he could take on some extra playing time while Ricard is out, but he isn't expected to make an impact fantasy-wise during tonight's tilt.

Seth Curry Set to Suit Up Monday

Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry (back) is set to suit up against the Utah Jazz on Monday evening. The 35-year-old veteran has been dealing with sciatic nerve irritation and has appeared in only two games this season. Curry's minutes will likely be limited in his return, and it remains unclear if he will have a consistent role in the Warriors' rotation moving forward.

De'Anthony Melton • SG • Warriors

De'Anthony Melton Available Against Jazz

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) isn't on the injury report for Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. After an impressive 30-minute performance on Thursday night against the Houston Rockets, the Warriors decided to rest Melton for Saturday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With Stephen Curry (knee) on the shelf, Melton has played a key role in Golden State's backcourt. He has averaged 17.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.7 steals since the All-Star break. Melton's return to the lineup will likely bump Pat Spencer back to the bench, where he won't have much fantasy value.

Moses Moody to Remain Out Monday Night

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (wrist) will be sidelined for a third consecutive game on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He is working his way back from a sprained right wrist and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Due to Moody's absence, Gui Santos has earned a new opportunity in the first unit and is coming off an impressive 22-point, 11-rebound double-double in Saturday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gary Payton II, who tallied seven points and 12 boards on Saturday, has also taken on an increased workload without Moody.

Al Horford • C • Warriors

Al Horford Won't Play Against Jazz

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (toe) will exit the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. The team begins a back-to-back set with this matchup and is cautious with Horford, who is managing a toe injury. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has also been ruled out, meaning we could see plenty of Quinten Post in Monday's game. Alternatively, the Warriors might run smaller lineups more often, given Utah's lack of size. Horford is likely to return to action on Tuesday night against the Chicago Bulls.

Kristaps Porzingis to Skip Monday's Game

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will miss the first leg of a back-to-back on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He is expected to return to the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. Porzingis returned from a six-game absence in Saturday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, contributing nine points, five rebounds, five assists, and one block in 23 minutes. With Porzingis and Al Horford (toe) sidelined on Monday, Quinten Post is set to return to the rotation and could make a significant impact in a favorable matchup.

Will Richard • SG • Warriors

Will Richard Remains Out Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Will Richard (ankle) will miss a third straight game on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Golden State's initial injury report listed Richard as questionable, leaving the possibility of his return open. His next chance for a comeback will be on Monday night against the Utah Jazz. Nate Williams has been part of the rotation during Richard's absence, and LJ Cryer may also get more action on Saturday. That said, the two aren't expected to make a significant fantasy impact.

Kristaps Porzingis to Be Limited to 15-20 Minutes Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will be limited to around 15-20 minutes on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, ESPN's Anthony Slater reports. Golden State will ease the Latvian veteran back into action after he missed six games due to illness. Still, Porzingis could make a significant impact even with limited minutes. He has averaged only a little over 20 minutes per game this season (23.9), posting 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.3 blocks.

Gary Payton II • PG • Warriors

Gary Payton II Available Against Thunder

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (ankle) will be active on Saturday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He is back in the fold after missing two games with an ankle issue. With De'Anthony Melton (knee) joining Stephen Curry (knee) and Moses Moody (wrist) on the sidelines, Payton II could see more time on the floor against the Thunder. He will have an important role to play defensively against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and could also be asked to contribute more on offense. Recently, Payton II has improved his offensive production, averaging 12.8 points since the All-Star break.

Kristaps Porzingis • C • Warriors

Kristaps Porzingis Returns to Warriors Lineup

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been cleared to return to action on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has sat out six games due to illness. Porzingis was knocked out by the illness just after making his Warriors debut. He managed 12 points, one rebound, one assist, and one block across 17 minutes in a matchup with Boston. Golden State is battling several injuries, so Porzingis could be a central figure in Saturday's game.

De'Anthony Melton • SG • Warriors

De'Anthony Melton Won't Play Saturday Night

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will sit out Saturday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Melton is managing a left knee injury and won't play on Saturday night after initially carrying a questionable tag on the injury report. The Warriors have recently received great production from Melton, who has averaged 17.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 steals as a starter across his last seven appearances. During this stretch, Melton managed three 20-point performances. Melton's absence could see Pat Spencer return to the starting unit, where he's posted averages of 11.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game this year.

Gary Payton II • PG • Warriors

Gary Payton II Sidelined on Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (ankle) won't play Thursday against Houston. He will miss his second consecutive game due to a left ankle injury. The 33-year-old contributes primarily on the defensive end for the Warriors and doesn't carry significant fantasy value. With Payton II sidelined, Nate Williams and Gui Santos could see expanded roles, as Will Richard (ankle) and Moses Moody (wrist) are also out.

Stephen Curry • PG • Warriors

Stephen Curry Out at Least Five More Games

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) will be re-evaluated in 10 days, ruling him out for at least the next five games. Curry has already missed 10 straight contests with what he described as an unpredictable right knee issue. His absence keeps the backcourt usage spread across Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton, and Pat Spencer. Podziemski logged 30 minutes with nine points, seven rebounds, and six assists in the last game, while Melton added 10 points and four assists. Podziemski is the safest hold, Melton remains a mid-tier option, and Spencer is a deeper-league assist streamer.

Kristaps Porzingis • C • Warriors

Kristaps Porzingis to Miss Fifth Straight Game

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers, marking his fifth straight absence. Porzingis practiced Friday but will remain sidelined until at least Thursday against Houston. In his absence, Draymond Green and Al Horford continue to anchor the frontcourt. Horford logged 22 minutes with eight points, five rebounds, and two triples in the last game, while Quinten Post added eight points and seven rebounds in 13 minutes. Horford is more of a fringe deep-league play at this stage, while Post remains a risky, speculative option best reserved for managers chasing rebounds in very deep formats.

De'Anthony Melton • SG • Warriors

De'Anthony Melton is Returning on Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Melton is back in the mix after sitting out Wednesday's win due to left knee injury management. Given he has only missed one game, Melton should have his normal workload on Saturday. Over the last seven games, Melton is averaging 16.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over 25.3 minutes per game. He's worth a look as a streaming option given his recent play.

Draymond Green • PF • Warriors

Draymond Green is Available on Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Green is returning after sitting out Wednesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies due to lower back injury management. The expectation is that Green will have his full workload on Saturday. His return to the lineup should push Al Horford back to the bench. Horford won't be as appealing as a streaming option playing with the second unit. Fantasy managers can get Green active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Kristaps Porzingis • C • Warriors

Kristaps Porzingis Questionable Vs. Lakers

Golden State Warriors forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers after practicing Friday as he looks to end a three-game absence. Porzingis appeared in one game since joining Golden State, posting 12 points with two triples and one block in 17 minutes, flashing immediate fantasy upside. If active alongside Draymond Green (back), Porzingis would likely cut into Al Horford's minutes and could push Quinten Post out of the rotation. Horford's short-term value would take a hit, while Porzingis carries clear upside if fully cleared.

Draymond Green • PF • Warriors

Draymond Green On Track to Play Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup against the Lakers after sitting out Wednesday for lower-back injury management on the second night of a back-to-back. Head coach Steve Kerr indicated he is expected to return to the lineup. Over his last five games, Green has averaged 10.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers in 27.4 minutes, offering steady multi-category production. With Green returning, the frontcourt minutes should settle back into place, which likely eats into Al Horford's short-term streaming appeal as Green steps back into his normal role.

Al Horford • C • Warriors

Al Horford Good to Go Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (toe) is set to suit up Wednesday against Memphis after sitting out Tuesday's matchup with New Orleans. The 39-year-old totaled 22 points, one rebound, seven assists, two blocks and three steals in his most recent appearance against Denver on Sunday. With Draymond Green (back) sidelined, Horford should continue to see steady frontcourt minutes, likely in the 20-25 range for Wednesday's contest.
