Post only played 11 minutes on Friday, as he exited prematurely with a sprained left ankle. A potential absence for the second-year center would not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, but the Warriors were already lacking depth in the post. Draymond Green (back) did not play on Friday, Al Horford (calf) exited after five minutes and Kristaps Porziņǵis is still under a minutes limit. The Warriors end Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.

Porziņǵis remains under a minutes restriction, with the Warriors’ big man logging 20 minutes on Friday. However, he took advantage of those minutes, recording his first 20-point game since joining the team. Add in the fact that Porziņǵis recorded a complete stat line, and few, if any, fantasy managers will turn their noses up at this performance. The Warriors, who lost Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (ankle) during Friday’s defeat, finish their Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.

After totaling 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting in his prior two appearances, Podziemski exceeded that number on Friday. Add in the rebounds and three-pointers, and this was a solid effort from the Warriors’ guard, even if he did not record any defensive stats. Since the All-Star break, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. With Stephen Curry (knee) out for at least one more week, Podz is worth picking up if he’s on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

Curry exited Friday’s game during the second quarter, and the Warriors announced at the beginning of the fourth that he won’t return due to a sore left adductor. Gary Payton II and Malevy Leons may pick up a few more minutes with Curry sidelined, but neither will be worth the streaming risk moving forward.

Horford played five minutes before exiting due to tightness in his right calf. The veteran center’s exit likely means more playing time for Quinten Post, especially with Draymond Green (back) out and Kristaps Porziņǵis under a minutes restriction.

Melton is back after a one-game absence, which pushes Will Richard to the bench. The other change to the lineup is Porziņǵis, who steps in for Draymond Green. Green is out with a back injury.

Added to the injury report less than an hour before tipoff, Green is now out. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, and Will Richard may fill the void. De’Anthony Melton’s return to action could have bumped the rookie, but he may stay since Green is out.

Green has been added to the Warriors’ injury report, which is not a good sign regarding his availability for Friday’s game. With Al Horford already starting, Will Richard could remain in the starting lineup if Green doesn’t play. If Green plays, Richard will likely head to the bench, since De’Anthony Melton is available.

Post, who did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, is back in the rotation for Friday’s game. However, he is not guaranteed to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball, so the second-year center can be left on the waiver wire.

While White was held out of Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, Scheierman started for Jayson Tatum and played 34 minutes. If White returns, that would push Payton Pritchard to the bench. Scheierman will also be with the reserves, as Tatum is available.

Scheierman played his role well on Thursday as a three-point specialist. In the start, he drained at least three three-pointers for the eighth time during his sophomore campaign and tallied his fourth double-digit scoring outing of March. He was also one of Boston’s better rebounders and facilitators in the loss. While he may not have a ton of value across fantasy leagues, he’s proven to be a consistent part of the Celtics’ nightly rotation.

Pritchard struggled with his shooting on Thursday, especially outside the arc. The subpar shooting efficiency led to a relatively unspectacular scoring performance in the loss, on a night when the Celtics desperately needed offensive production. Pritchard also didn’t provide much as a facilitator, and didn’t come away with any stocks. Fantasy managers will hope for a bounce-back performance on Saturday against the Wizards.

In his first appearance after being ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, Brown logged perhaps his best stat line of March. In the loss, he hit the 30-point mark for the first time since February 22, which was also the last time before Thursday that he got up at least 25 shot attempts. Brown’s aggressiveness was needed while playing without Jayson Tatum against a very tough Thunder defense. He did commit six turnovers and shot somewhat inefficiently, but was otherwise productive.

The Celtics are without Derrick White and Jayson Tatum for Thursday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Pritchard and Scheierman are the replacements. While the former is already rostered in most fantasy leagues, the latter is worth picking up in 12-team formats if he’s on the waiver wire.

That means Moody will miss Friday’s home game against the Timberwolves, which will be his fifth missed game in a row, but could return at any point after that. As of now, his conditioning seems fine, but he is only shooting with his left hand, so we would assume he comes back near the tail end of the road trip, if at all. Moody was playing between 27 and 35 minutes per game before he got hurt, and while the Warriors may ease him back in, he should return to that role soon after his return. That means the current minutes and usage increase for Will Richard, Pat Spencer, and Gary Payton could be nearing an end.

Pritchard misses Tuesday’s game against the Spurs but was listed as probable for this contest against the Thunder, so he always seemed likely to play. With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) ruled out on Thursday, Pritchard should return to a sizable role as the first man off the bench.

The Celtics continue to play the long game with their star, and rightfully so. While this is a big game against a good team, the playoffs are much bigger, and the Celtics want to be sure that Tatum is as healthy as possible when that time comes. Payton Pritchard (neck) will play on Thursday after missing Tuesday’s game against the Spurs, so he will step back into a bigger role.

White, who dropped 34 points in Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs, is dealing with a right knee contusion. If he’s unable to play, that may open the door for Baylor Scheierman to move back into the starting lineup. Scheierman could even start if White does play, as Jayson Tatum (Achilles) is also questionable.

While Thursday’s game is not part of a back-to-back, the Celtics aren’t going to put too much on Tatum’s shoulders as he continues his comeback from a ruptured Achilles tendon. He has logged 27 minutes in each of his three games and is likely to hover around that number for the foreseeable future.

Pritchard is on track to play after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Spurs with neck spasms. Ron Harper Jr. played 33 minutes off the bench, knocking down six three-pointers and scoring 22 points. His playing time will decrease with Pritchard back in the fold, but Harper may have earned another look with his showing against the Spurs.

Though Curry has returned to on-court work, he will be re-evaluated in March 21 before deciding when he will return to the lineup. He has already missed 15 games, with the Warriors going 5-10 during that stretch, and he will miss at least five more. Gui Santos will continue to start in his place, with extra minutes and shots to go around for everyone.

The Warriors received solid contributions from their bench on Tuesday, with Spencer and LJ Cryer (17/1/2 with three three-pointers) scoring 17 points apiece. The former also provided solid value in the assist category, with his six helpers being the most in a game for Spencer since February 25 against the Grizzlies (nine). More should be learned about Stephen Curry’s progress on Wednesday as he continues to recover from a knee injury. His availability affects the fantasy values of the entire perimeter rotation, including Spencer and Cryer.

Having hit double digits in rebounds in two of his last three appearances, Payton recorded his second double-double of the season on Tuesday. The few who have him on their fantasy rosters also received good value in the steals category. Payton is not a must-roster player, but his fantasy value increases on nights when the Warriors don’t have De’Anthony Melton, as was the case against the Bulls.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Jazz, Horford played a season-high 34 minutes against the Bulls. While he shot the ball poorly, including a 2-of-8 night from inside the three-point line, the veteran center did finish with a complete stat line. The Warriors end Week 20 with games on Friday and Sunday, with the second being part of a back-to-back.

Tuesday was a reminder that Porziņǵis does not need to log heavy minutes to have an impact. He played 20 minutes against the Bulls, producing solid numbers in points, rebounds and blocked shots. The Warriors have two more games in Week 20, but the last, Sunday against the Knicks, is the first of a back-to-back. Given the recent health struggles, Porziņǵis isn’t guaranteed to be available for any game, but the remaining schedule may work in his favor for this week.

Tatum has played 27 minutes in all three games since returning from an Achilles injury. The 28-year-old small forward continues to progress scoring 15, 20 and 24 points. Tatum wasn’t particularly efficient with 24 points on 24 field goal attempts, but that’s to be expected given all the time off he’s had. The Celtics have two more games this week and there are enough off days that Tatum should be available for both.

White led Boston in scoring Tuesday against the Spurs with his first game with at least 30 points since December 19 against the Heat, when he had 33 points. The 31-year-old point guard also had five rebounds, seven assists and a block on defense. White has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Celtics have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Thunder on Thursday.

However, it won’t be the knee keeping him on the sidelines, but left adductor soreness. Expect Gary Payton II and Pat Spencer to take on extra minutes.
