Santos was listed as probable and has officially been cleared to suit up. He scored 16 points on Wednesday, which was a season high, but he hasn’t contributed much value this season and shouldn’t be viewed as a target for fantasy managers.

Marshall sat out on Thursday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. He’ll be back against Houston, and his return should push Caleb Martin back to the bench with Cooper Flagg and P.J. Washington both healthy and available.

Martin has been starting over the past two weeks for Dallas, and he has had some strong production lately. The shooting has been rough, but he has averaged 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game during that stretch, and he set a new season high for rebounds in this one. His upside as a scorer has been limited, though he has had a few solid performances mixed in. Naji Marshall got a rest night in this game, but he should return to take on the Rockets on Saturday. Assuming everyone else remains available, Martin will likely head back to the bench, which will eliminate his run as a streaming option.

Flagg missed Wednesday’s game against the Hornets but was back to take on Charlotte. In a matchup with his former college teammates Kon Knueppel and Sion James, Flagg’s team didn’t come out on top, but he shined brightest. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who scored 51 points on 72 percent shooting in a game as a rookie, has ever matched or exceed Flagg’s points and field goal percentage in a game as a rookie. Of course, Kareem was less than two months from turning 23, while Flagg just turned 19. He has been incredible as a rookie and should be in line to win Rookie of the Year.

Thompson is back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves. His absence factored into fellow reserve Jaden Hardy playing 24 minutes off the bench. With Brandon Williams (ankle) considered a game-time decision, it’s possible that Hardy’s playing time won’t decrease much, if at all.

Williams played 24 minutes on Wednesday, scoring 17 points with five rebounds and three assists, but he may sit out the second leg of a back-to-back to rest his ankle. If that’s the case, we should expect more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, who could emerge as a streaming option.

After sitting out Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves, Horford was back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Having started the last two games that he’s been available for, it’s fair to wonder if Horford will be able to hold onto the job for a bit. He provided good value in that role on Wednesday, recording a complete stat line that included eight assists and three blocks. Quentin Post (10/6/2 with two three-pointers) had a good night off the bench, but Horford has a higher ceiling because of his abilities as a facilitator and defender.

Of the eight Warriors who finished Wednesday’s victory in double figures, five were reserves. That includes Santos, whose 16 points were three shy of his career-high. And while Golden State did lead by as much as 27, his production can’t be credited solely to the game getting out of hand. There’s no need to add Santos after Wednesday’s performance, but this may inspire some confidence among deep-league managers the next time that Golden State is shorthanded.

Recording his first 20-point game in nearly two weeks, Moody had one of his best games of the season on Wednesday. The 26 points were the most he’s tallied in a game since November 16, when the Warriors’ guard dropped a season-high 32. With Jimmy Butler (knee) done for the rest of the season, the Warriors will need increased production from the supporting cast, including Moody. While his season-long fantasy value remains low, the circumstances make Moody a player worth adding in standard leagues.

Back in the Warriors’ lineup after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves, Curry shot 50 percent from the field on Wednesday. And for the first time in nearly three weeks, he’s scored at least 25 points in three consecutive games. Curry and the Warriors have one more game on the Week 15 schedule, Friday night against the Pistons. To say that it won’t be an easy game for Golden State is an understatement.

Questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bucks, Williams got a little more time off to rest his sore right knee when that contest was postponed. The knee didn’t appear to give him any trouble on Wednesday, with the Mavericks’ guard recording a solid stat line in 24 minutes off the bench. There would be more to like about Williams fantasy-wise if he were starting, but his playing time has been consistent. We’ll see if he’s able to play on Thursday against the Hornets.

Marshall extended his streak of games with at least ten points to 12 on Wednesday, and he’s been a starter for the last 11. Since New Year’s Day, the Mavericks’ forward has provided top-100 per-game value, with Anthony Davis’ hand injury raising Marshall’s ceiling. He’s still rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues. While shallow-league managers can afford to wait, those competing in standard leagues where Marshall remains available should strongly consider picking him up.

Washington was moved into the starting lineup on Wednesday, as the Mavericks were without Cooper Flagg (ankle). He filled in admirably for the rookie, recording his first 20-point game since December 15. While Washington has not been a top-100 player this season, he isn’t far off, and the forward is capable of stepping up when the Mavericks are shorthanded. Dallas plays two more games in Week 15, and they’re likely to get Flagg back for Thursday’s game against the Hornets.

The Mavericks won’t have Cooper Flagg for Thursday’s game, which is their first of two in as many nights. As a result, Washington returns to the starting lineup, while Gafford replaces Dwight Powell. Also, Marshall will have a higher fantasy ceiling because Dallas is light on healthy playmakers.

Even with the extra day off due to Sunday’s game in Milwaukee being postponed, Flagg will not play on Wednesday due to left ankle injury management.

Post logged 28 minutes in the Warriors’ blowout loss to the Wolves and finished as Golden State’s leading scorer. He was one of five starters to score in double figures, with his three-point production leading the way. Despite being one of the Warriors’ more productive players on Monday, fantasy managers shouldn’t come away from this game with any new thoughts on Post — he remains a low-floor option in fantasy leagues whose value is tied to his three-point shot.

Podziemski was one of the limited regular starters who was available to play in Monday’s game. In his 28 minutes, inefficient shooting limited his scoring production, but it was enough to get him into double figures on the evening. The third-year guard also contributed on the glass and was one of Golden State’s best distributors on Monday. He wasn’t at his best in this game, but he will have plenty of opportunities going forward to log some big stat lines.

Santos got the start for a depleted Warriors team on Monday and was one of their most productive players. In his 26 minutes, he crashed the glass hard to reach double figures in rebounds, and was the only Warriors player to notch at least one block and steal apiece. Inefficient shooting, especially from beyond the arc, prevented his scoring total from being higher. Yet, he made it out of single digits and tallied his first double-double of the season.

Melton had scored at least 20 points in three of his last five games entering play Sunday. The 27-year-old shooting guard failed to reach that mark Sunday, but it was still somewhat of an encouraging game for Melton because he took 13 field goal attempts in 21 minutes. With Jimmy Butler III (knee) done for the year, the Warriors are desperate for offense. Even with Melton playing about 20 minutes per game, he’s looking for his own shot when he’s out there. He’s returned 12th-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Williams doesn’t offer much in the way of defensive production, which limits his fantasy ceiling just as much as coming off the bench does. However, being on a standard deal gives him a clear edge over Ryan Nembhard, who only played four minutes Saturday night and is still on a two-way contract.

While Flagg couldn’t get much done scoring-wise, he still offered solid value in the rebound, assist and steal categories.
