Spencer stepped up to shoulder the scoring workload in his first career start for a bizarre Golden State lineup that was missing Stephen Curry (quad), Draymond Green (foot), Jimmy Butler (knee) and Al Hortford (sciatica) out of action. The 29-year-old guard dished out seven helpers and knocked down a couple pivotal shots in the fourth quarter to help the Warriors stave off a late rally from the Cavaliers. He’ll continue to get opportunities with Curry expected to miss at least another week while recovering from a quad bruise.

The Cavaliers got off to an ice-cold start on the second night of a back-to-back, scoring a season-low 36 points in the first half. Mitchell came alive after the break, burying seven three-pointers and dropping 21 points in the second half as Cleveland roared back to make this one close. He had an opportunity to knock down a game-tying three-pointer in the final seconds but came up empty. The 29-year-old scoring machine is averaging 30.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.3 blocks over 23 games this season. The Cavaliers are off until Friday when they face the floundering Wizards before closing out a two-game week with a home matchup against the Hornets.

Post drew the starting assignment for a makeshift lineup with most of Golden State’s core sitting this one out. The 25-year-old sharpshooting big man knocked down a pair of three-pointers and pulled down a team-high nine boards. He’s capable of making an impact for fantasy purposes when given an opportunity but those spots are tough to come by unless injuries strike.

The Warriors have been decimated by injuries, resulting in multiple changes to the starting lineup. Spencer, Kuminga and Post will be in the starting lineup, with Brandin Podziemski moving to the bench while Draymond Green and Al Horford are out. Spencer, who’s totaled 33 points in his last two games, is worth streaming while Kuminga and Post will also have added fantasy value.

Green aggravated a right midfoot sprain during Thursday’s loss to the 76ers, with the Warriors ruling him out at halftime. His absence on Saturday likely means that Quinten Post or Trayce Jackson-Davis will start, especially with Al Horford also out. Of the two, Post offers a higher fantasy ceiling.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, Butler is officially out. Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield are among the Warriors whose minutes stand to increase with Butler, among others, sidelined for Saturday’s game. Hield offers a higher fantasy ceiling, but the need to account for Donovan Mitchell may lead to Payton getting more minutes.

Curry is among the many Warriors ruled out for Saturday’s game. With De’Antony Melton also out, expect to see a lot of Pat Spencer, who’s scored 17 and 16 points in his last two games. While a risky streaming play, he’s worth considering in deep leagues due to the current state of the Warriors’ roster.

Proctor also missed Friday’s game against the Spurs for personal reasons. The 21-year-old point guard might’ve been in line for some minutes with Lonzo Ball (knee) out. Proctor did’t play Wednesday due to a coach’s decision when Ball was available.

Ball had two points, six rebounds and five assists in 22 minutes off the bench against the Spurs on Friday. The 28-year-old point guard will sit out the second game of a back-to-back against the Warriors for injury management reasons. His absence impacts the Cavaliers rotation, but isn’t significant for fantasy basketball.

Nae’Qwan Tomlin started this game with Darius Garland (toe) sidelined, and while he was able to contribute 13 points in 18 minutes, he wasn’t as effective as Wade. Though he typically hasn’t been a productive player in fantasy basketball, he was able to start the second half and turn in a strong stat line during his 29 minutes on the floor. Wade isn’t worth rostering, but he played well in this game.

Mitchell is enjoying the best offensive season of his career, which has gone under the radar due to the Cavaliers’ struggles. He’s averaging a career-best 30.6 points per game while also shooting over 50 percent from the floor for the first time in his career. “Only” scoring 28 points in this game actually dropped his average slightly. He’ll keep pouring in the points to help the Cavs stay afloat until they get healthy.

Tyson has been incredible as a starter during his second season in the NBA. He has been able to start more than expected due to various injuries, and he has taken advantage of the opportunity. In 14 starts this year, he is averaging 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.6 three-pointers per game. As long as he is starting, he should be considered a must-roster player in every format.

Mobley was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, but it won’t prevent him from suiting up against San Antonio. With Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined, Mobley will continue to fill the center spot, which leaves him primed for a big night against Luke Kornet and the Spurs.

Horford had three points in 18 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the 76ers. It was the first game action for the 39-year-old power forward since November 21.

Green left Thursday’s game against the 76ers with a right foot injury in the second quarter. His status remains up in the air for Saturday’s game against the Cavaliers given his questionable listing.

Mobley popped up as questionable with an illness Friday afternoon ahead of the Cavaliers’ matchup against the Spurs. The 24-year-old center’s status for the game is certainly up in the air.

More than a year after he suffered a torn ACL, Melton was back on the court Thursday night. And he didn’t need much time to remind people why he can be a valuable option in fantasy basketball. Despite being limited to 21 minutes, Melton recorded a complete stat line with solid percentages against the 76ers. With Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler out, and Draymond Green attempting to play through a foot injury, the Warriors can use the help that Melton can provide on both ends of the floor. Managers in deep leagues may be wary of adding him after one game due to the Warriors’ upcoming back-to-back, but Melton may be worth the risk.

After matching his career-high in Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder, Spencer had another good night on Thursday. The two-way contract guard hit some big shots in the fourth quarter, including a three with 1:12 remaining that gave Golden State a 98-94 lead. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they would not score again, with Philadelphia ending the game on a 5-0 run. Spencer has some viability as a deep-league streamer for the final two games of Golden State’s road trip, due mainly to the absences of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

Thursday’s game was the first for Horford since November 21, so, understandably, he was a bit rusty. The veteran center, who received the starting nod, shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc in Philadelphia, missing seven straight after making his first attempt. With Draymond Green (foot) exiting at halftime and Jimmy Butler (knee) already out, the Warriors can use a healthy Horford. Unfortunately, they’ll end Week 7 with a back-to-back, so he’ll sit on either Saturday or Sunday.

Green, who missed a game in late November with a midfoot sprain, injured his right foot during the second quarter of Thursday’s game. Having limped off the court, he has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. Trayce Jackson-Davis started the third quarter and could be worth a look in deep leagues if Green misses time, since the Warriors are also without Jimmy Butler.

Appearing in a game for the first time since November 21, Horford is part of the Warriors’ starting lineup, filling the void left by the injured Jimmy Butler III.

Tyson’s final stat line wasn’t eye-popping, but he continues to hold down a place in the starting lineup. With Jarrett Allen (finger) out for at least another week, the second-year wing should be considered in a broader range of fantasy leagues.

With Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined, there’s more room for Mobley to operate on both ends of the floor. Despite the outcome of Wednesday’s game, Mobley recorded the kind of stat line that fantasy managers hope to see consistently.

Mobley will look to continue this run on Friday when the Spurs visit.

Mitchell has scored at least 30 points in 13 games this season, including three of his last four.

Mitchell had a tough night from deep, shooting 3-of-13 on three-pointers, but the two-point production salvaged the overall field-goal percentage. Cleveland hosts San Antonio on Friday.

Melton last suited up on Nov. 12, 2024, meaning if he sees the floor against Philadelphia, he will play for the first time in over a calendar year.

The 27 points were the second-most for him in an NBA game, trailing only Tyson’s 31-point effort against the Pacers in the 2024-25 regular season finale. With Tyson starting 12 of the 17 games he’s appeared in, it’s clear that he’s considered to be a player who can provide consistent value within the Cavaliers’ rotation. Providing fifth-round value in nine-cat formats, Tyson is rightfully being rostered in some 14-team leagues.

With Darius Garland unavailable, Mitchell took on more of the playmaking responsibilities on Monday.

Mobley has routinely punished Boston’s undersized frontcourt in recent years, and that pattern held firm as he got whatever he wanted inside with Neemias Queta sidelined — while also knocking down three of six attempts from beyond the arc. The 24-year-old center had a chance to come through in the final seconds but his fadeaway jumper came up short and Cleveland fell just two points shy of pulling off an incredible comeback.
