Cryer missed Monday’s game, but he had been playing a legitimate reserve role over the previous six games, averaging 9.5 points and 2.2 triples in 17.9 minutes per game off the bench. If he plays, he will likely play a similar role, though he isn’t worth rostering outside of the deepest leagues.

Post missed Monday’s game, but with Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis both available, they filled Post’s minutes from the previous game, when he started and logged 35 minutes. With both Green and Porzingis not listed on the injury report once again, they will fill the minutes down low, which will only leave a few, if any, for Post.

This will be an eighth straight absence for Moody, and while there is a chance he returns during this road trip, it won’t be against Boston. They have a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, so he could return this weekend. Will Richard and Gary Payton II will continue to take on extra minutes with Moody out.

While his fantasy value since the All-Star break has been nowhere near that of teammate Josh Giddey, Jones is capable of putting up solid numbers when allowed to start. He played 28 minutes on Monday, shooting 6-of-7 from inside the arc while recording solid numbers in the other pertinent fantasy categories. Jones has played at least 28 minutes in each of his last six appearances, making him a worthwhile pickup in deep leagues.

Counting Monday, Giddey has recorded triple-doubles in four of his last five games. Given the production and the Bulls’ three wins in their last six games, there may be some concern that Giddey’s playing time will decrease during the fantasy playoff weeks. Until that happens, fantasy managers need to continue to roll with Giddey. He has been close to a first-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break.

While a large segment of the Bulls fanbase may prefer the team lose games and improve their draft lottery odds, Buzelis’ progression has been a positive development. Since the All-Star break, the second-year forward has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. The one concern for fantasy managers rostering Buzelis is the possibility of a shutdown, especially if the Bulls (3-3 in their last six games) continue to pick up wins at a higher rate than they have for most of this season.

While he didn’t offer much scoring in his return to the Warriors’ lineup after a two-game absence, Green was productive in other ways. He provided solid value in rebounds, assists and steals, good news for fantasy managers who continue to roster him. However, Green’s limited scoring has capped his fantasy value at a far higher level than it was in seasons past.

Golden State’s top two scorers on Monday were players who did not see action in Sunday’s loss to the Knicks. Melton and Kristaps Porziņǵis combined to score 57 points, with the former’s 27 being one shy of his season high. Melton has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, providing needed scoring as the Warriors await Stephen Curry’s return. Unfortunately, the Warriors have another back-to-back during Week 21, which could limit Melton to two appearances in the team’s final three games.

Back in the Warriors’ rotation after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Knicks, Porziņǵis enjoyed one of his best games of the season on Monday. The 30 points matched his season high, which he first recorded on November 22 as a member of the Hawks. And Porziņǵis put up the impressive stat line in 25 minutes. While his playing time may remain limited for the foreseeable future, Porziņǵis boasts a higher ceiling with Al Horford (calf) out for at least one week.

Post played Sunday against the Knicks and delivered a strong 22/3/3 line with three swats and four triples. He could get the night off on the second leg of Golden State’s back-to-back set for right foot injury management.

Post left Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with a sprained ankle, but ended up starting with the Warriors extremely short-handed against the Knicks on Sunday. The 25-year-old center was just a desperation play at the end of the week, but came through for those bold enough to start him. The Warriors have four games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Monday.

Santos has now scored at least 20 points twice in his last five games. The 23-year-old small forward isn’t known for his scoring, though, as he has no other 20-point games this year. Santos had an excellent game against the Knicks and has shown enough to be streamable when the Warriors are running a skeleton lineup. Whether he continues to start or not, Santos will still have a significant role for the Warriors once Stephen Curry (knee) returns in a week.

Podziemski had 25 points for the second straight game.

While the Warriors remain shorthanded, they may be getting healthier.

While the Bulls went 1-3 on their west coast road trip, a positive for the franchise was Buzelis’ play. The second-year forward fell two points shy of his fourth straight game with at least 20, but he did record his third double-double of the season.

Giddey’s triple-double on Friday was the 29th of his NBA career, moving him into the top-20 on the all-time list. After recording six turnovers in Thursday’s loss to the Lakers, the Bulls’ guard was responsible for just two on Friday. Since the All-Star break, Giddey has been close to a first-round player in eight-cat formats.
