The Warriors remain without Stephen Curry (pelvis), but it will not be Quinten Post who replaces him in the starting lineup. Payton II receives the nod, with Green shifting into the starting center role. Payton will likely match up with Tyler Herro, giving the Warriors a defensive boost on the perimeter.

Gordon sat out Monday’s matchup with Chicago, but he’s got a chance to return after a one-game absence. If Gordon is sidelined, Peyton Watson could be in line for additional playing time. Watson scored a career-high 24 points on Monday with Gordon out.

While Braun continues to appear on the Nuggets’ injury report with a strained left foot, he has played in the team’s last four contests. Look for that to be the case on Wednesday, and the third-year wing is worth rostering in 12-team (and some 10-team) leagues, given how well he has performed this season.

Jokic is headed for a sixth straight absence, which should mean another start for DeAndre Jordan. Jordan has started two straight games, with healthy averages of 10.5 points, 16 rebounds and 5.5 assists across 34.5 minutes. The veteran big should be streamed in leagues of all sizes if Joker is ultimately ruled out again.

Curry worked out on Monday but did not feel ready to return from the pelvic contusion he suffered last week. Quinten Post should remain in the starting lineup, giving the rookie limited streaming value in deep leagues. Curry’s absence also raises the fantasy ceilings of Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody.

Jordan made another start for the injured Nikola Jokic, and the veteran center came through with another double-double. The 17 rebounds were a season-high for DeAndre, who was also responsible for 10 points and seven assists. Jordan’s value for the rest of Week 21 depends on Jokic’s availability. Jordan is a must-stream if the three-time MVP remains out, especially for managers needing rebound production.

Filling in for Aaron Gordon, Watson had a career night on Monday. The 24 points were a career-high, and he also provided excellent value in the blocked shot category. Rostered in four percent of Yahoo! leagues, Watson will only be worth a look moving forward if Gordon misses more time. However, Monday’s game was the second in as many nights for the Nuggets, which likely had more to do with Gordon’s absence than anything else.

While his fantasy value has slipped recently, Braun remains one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball this season. He’s ranked safely within the top 100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, consistently recording complete stat lines. Denver’s remaining schedule for Week 21 isn’t the best, but Braun remains a player who needs to be rostered in standard leagues.

Murray has scored 24 points or more in four of his last five appearances, most recently picking up the slack offensively with Nikola Jokic (ankle) unavailable. Over the past month, the Nuggets guard has provided first-round value in nine-cat formats. The only negative for Murray managers is Denver’s remaining schedule for Week 21. They only play two more games and will be done on Friday.

In addition to Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets will be without Aaron Gordon for Monday’s game. Jordan remains in the starting lineup as Jokic’s replacement, while Watson will replace AG. Both fill-ins are worth streaming in deep leagues due to Denver’s lack of interior depth.

Gordon will be out after playing 37 minutes on the first night of Denver’s back-to-back. Gordon has played in their last four games, but Russell Westbrook or Peyton Watson will replace AG in the starting unit. The other will still see extra minutes off the bench.

While he has not been officially ruled out yet, Gordon is not expected to play in Denver’s second game in as many nights.

Gordon could be the Nuggets’ center with Nikola Jokic out Monday, but he has a legitimate chance to miss the game himself given his questionable listing.

Jokic is set to miss his fifth game in a row with a sprained right ankle. Aaron Gordon is questionable, but could be a small-ball center in Jokic’s absence. If Gordon is out, DeAndre Jordan could move into the starting lineup. Russell Westbrook is also likely to start with Jokic out.

Curry was at practice Monday ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Heat. While the 37-year-old point guard has a legitimate chance to miss the next game given his questionable listing, he’s due back sometime during the Warriors’ road trip. Curry’s eventual return will push Quinten Post back to the bench.

After going small in the first three games without Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets went to a conventional lineup on Sunday. Jordan moved into the starting lineup and was outstanding, shooting over 50 percent from the field and grabbing 15 rebounds. Given his performance in Houston, Jordan will be worth streaming in deep leagues for Monday’s game against the Bulls. The Nuggets have already ruled Jokic out for that game.

Over the past two weeks, Porter has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. While that may not be the most impressive production, he has grabbed nine rebounds or more in three of his last five appearances. With Nikola Jokic (ankle) out of the lineup, that’s a category in which Porter can provide added value, which would raise his fantasy ceiling. The Nuggets play three games during Week 21, and Jokic is already out for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

With Nikola Jokic (ankle) still sidelined, Murray was outstanding on Sunday. The 39 points are the most he’s scored in a game since February 12, when the Nuggets guard dropped 55 on the Trail Blazers. Over the past two weeks, Murray has provided top 20 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the Nuggets hope to get Jokic back at some point during their upcoming homestand, Murray will have to shoulder more of the offensive workload until that happens. The Nuggets play three home games during Week 21, and the Joker has already been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Bulls.

The Nuggets remain without Nikola Jokic (ankle), but they will employ a traditional center in the lineup after going small in Friday’s loss to Portland.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before Saturday’s loss to the Hawks that the Warriors hope to get Curry back during their six-game road trip. Tuesday’s contest is the second, and the two-time MVP is rejoining his teammates after not traveling to Atlanta. How his body responds over the next two days will determine Curry’s availability. If he can return on Tuesday, that will likely bump Quentin Post to the bench.

Gordon was initially probable for Sunday’s game, so the expectation was that he would play. As the Nuggets are again without Nikola Jokic, he’s likely to remain the starting center.

Podziemski has scored 15 points or more in each of the three games he’s played since returning from a back injury. With Stephen Curry (pelvis) not traveling with the team for the start of the Warriors’ six-game road trip, Podziemski stands to have added fantasy value for the foreseeable future. He’s already rostered in 66 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so the second-year player can still be found on most shallow league waiver wires.

Moody is one of the shooters who boasts a higher ceiling with Stephen Curry (pelvis) out of the lineup. After scoring 20 points on 6-of-21 shooting in his three previous appearances, the Warriors wing matched that tally while making over 50 percent of his attempts on Saturday. Rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Moody has provided top 100 value over the past two weeks. Curry is not guaranteed to return during Week 21, which makes Moody a worthwhile addition in deep leagues.

Butler recorded solid numbers in the points and assist categories, but he may have done a little too much attempting to compensate for Stephen Curry’s absence. Butler attempted a season-high seven three-pointers, and he only made one. Given the available shooters on the Warriors’ roster, Butler is well-positioned to provide greater value in the assist category besides what he can do as a scorer. Next up is a return to Miami to face his former employer on Tuesday in what should be a charged environment.

Saturday’s game was the first for Golden State since losing Stephen Curry to a pelvic contusion. Post returned to the starting lineup, with the rookie providing solid value in the points and three-point categories. While there are better streaming options on the Warriors roster with Curry sidelined, Post is worth a look among deep-league managers needing help at the center position. Golden State plays three games during Week 21, starting with Miami on Tuesday.

Curry did not travel with the team for Saturday’s game against the Warriors, which is the first of six games Golden State will play on the road. His absence opens up minutes and opportunities for many players, including Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton II. It also means more will be required of Jimmy Butler, whose addition has given the Warriors an invaluable boost. Golden State’s next home game isn’t until April 4, and the team will play three road games during Week 21.

Westbrook got another start Friday with Nikola Jokic (ankle, elbow) out again. The 36-year-old point guard had 18 points in 30 minutes, but it wasn’t one of his better games this year. Westbrook managed to commit nine turnovers, which was the second time in his last three games that he had committed at least seven turnovers. It also wasn’t a big assist game for Westbrook as he had just four assists. The fantasy upside is obvious when he gets to start, but he’s a little inconsistent at this point in his career.

Gordon continues to have good scoring games as he’s had at least 23 points in three straight games and four of his last six games. The 29-year-old power forward has been a top-50 fantasy player over the last two weeks, which coincides with his uptick in scoring while the Nuggets have occasionally been without Nikola Jokic (ankle, elbow). Gordon has had injury struggles of his own this year, but if his play is any indication at this point, he should be rostered in all formats going forward.

Butler continues to fit in flawlessly with Golden State, and he was able to record his second triple-double as a Warrior in this game. It wasn’t his most efficient shooting night, but he was able to make up for it with his well-rounded production on both ends. He may continue to be a focal point of the offense if Stephen Curry (pelvis) remains out against the Hawks on Saturday after exiting early on Thursday. Butler turned in a 24/8/10 line without Steph on Tuesday.

With Stephen Curry and Brandin Podziemski both healthy, Post returned to the bench after starting five of Golden State’s last six games. However, he was still able to be productive as a reserve; he scored 12 points on four three-pointers in just the first half. He added two more triples in the second half, and he may get the chance to build on this performance over the weekend. Stephen Curry exited early with a pelvic contusion and is set to undergo an MRI. If he misses Saturday’s game in Atlanta, Post may return to the starting lineup.

Green got off to a ridiculous start to this game. He scored 18 points and hit four three-pointers in just the first half. That was enough to tie his third-highest scoring performance of the season and his second-most three-pointers in a game this season. Just in one half. He only added one more triple in the second half, but he was able to make more of an impact on the defensive end to help strengthen his case for Defensive Player of the Year.

Despite Brandin Podziemski returning from a back injury on Tuesday, Hield still had room to provide value since Stephen Curry was out. He hit four three-pointers, the third time in five games Hield has made that many or more. Ranked outside the top 175 in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, Buddy is essentially a specialist in category leagues. He’s still rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is a fair number given the limited production outside of points and three-pointers.

He hit double figures in rebounds for the first time since March 3, and his last two games have been elite from a defensive production standpoint.

Since the All-Star break, Draymond has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats.

With Stephen Curry unavailable for Tuesday’s game, the basketball was in Butler’s hands more often. And fantasy managers undoubtedly benefitted, as Butler finished two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Since joining the Warriors in early February, he has recorded one double-double and one triple-double, and he has been a top-75 player since the All-Star break. Golden State has two more games to play during Week 20, starting with the Raptors on Thursday.

Tuesday’s game was the first for Podziemski since March 6, and his back did not appear to trouble him. The Warriors guard hit two critical three-pointers in crunch time to help the Warriors put away the Bucks, and the overall stat line was solid. With Stephen Curry unavailable, Moses Moody remained in the starting lineup on Tuesday, finishing with seven points, seven rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 25 minutes. Podziemski was the starter before his injury, which will likely be the case once Curry returns.
