Reid will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. His continued absence means more playing time for Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr. The latter is worth a look for managers seeking assists, as Anderson racked up six in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz.

The 25-year-old center saw 21 minutes off the bench in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics. With Draymond Green and Kristaps Porzingis off the injury report, the Warriors are well-positioned to overcome Post’s absence Friday.

Reid did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz after spraining his right ankle the night prior. Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr. saw their minutes increase in his absence, with the former recording six assists and the latter three steals. Neither is a must-stream player if Reid remains out.

After a solid showing in his first start for the injured Anthony Edwards on Tuesday, Dosunmu was even better in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. He totaled 42 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists and three steals in wins over Phoenix and Utah, and he qualifies as a must-add player with Minnesota playing two more games in Week 21. Also worth a look, especially in deeper leagues, is Bones Hyland, who chipped in with 18 points, three rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers on Wednesday.

While Gobert’s offensive production did not receive much of a boost in the first game the Timberwolves played after losing Anthony Edwards (knee), but he did grab 19 rebounds. In the second game on Wednesday, he provided excellent value as a scorer and rebounder against the lottery-bound Jazz. The Timberwolves have two more games in Week 21, starting with the Trail Blazers on Friday.

In the two games the Timberwolves have played since losing Anthony Edwards to a knee injury, Randle has totaled 53 points on 17-of-27 shooting from the field. Against the Jazz, he also recorded eight assists and four steals, providing excellent value in those categories. At this rate, Randle is capable of delivering some key wins to fantasy managers looking to win their league title.

Rostered in five percent of Yahoo! leagues, Payton has largely been an afterthought in fantasy basketball this season. However, that should change during these playoff weeks in Yahoo! default leagues. Since the All-Star break, Payton has provided seventh-round value in eight-cat formats, and he’s been a round better in nine-cat. With the Warriors ending Week 21 with a back-to-back, he’s worth a look in deep leagues, having played both ends of the team’s most recent back-to-back on Sunday and Monday.

Playing a game in Boston for the first time since being traded to Atlanta last offseason, Porziņǵis logged 23 minutes on Wednesday. He had a rough night shooting the basketball, but the good news for fantasy managers was that the 7-foot-3 forward/center recorded a complete line. Wednesday’s game was the first that Porziņǵis and Draymond Green (13/5/5/1 with three three-pointers) started alongside each other, and the latter had one of his most productive offensive games since the All-Star break.

While productive in the points and rebounds categories, Santos offered nothing else on Wednesday. That was a departure from the norm for the Warriors’ wing, whose fantasy value has taken off since Stephen Curry’s knee injury in late January. The Warriors end Week 21 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back, which could raise Santos’ ceiling if he plays both games but De’Anthony Melton (5/1/2/1/1 with one three-pointer) and Kristaps Porziņǵis don’t.

Wednesday’s game will be the first that Green and Porziņǵis have started together since the latter’s acquisition from the Hawks. Porziņǵis put up 30 points in 25 minutes in Monday’s win over the Wizards, but the Celtics are a far different assignment from a competitive standpoint. Will Richard comes off the bench, which limits his fantasy ceiling.

Moody, who will miss an eighth straight game on Wednesday when the Warriors visit the Celtics, has been out with a sprained right wrist. The fact that his workouts have mainly focused on his left hand, with the right hand/wrist in a brace, is not a good sign regarding his availability. After Wednesday, the Warriors play three more games on their road trip, ending next Monday in Dallas. Those who have held onto Moody would be better off freeing up the roster spot and searching the waiver wire for a healthy contributor.

On March 11, Curry was given a 10-day re-evaluation timeline. During his pregame availability on Wednesday, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that an update on the guard’s progress will be provided on Saturday. Charania reported that there’s “cautious optimism” that Curry will be back by the end of the month, and Curry went through a rigorous on-court workout in Boston on Tuesday. The question is whether he’ll be back soon enough to affect fantasy basketball. For now, managers should continue to rely on Gui Santos, Brandin Podziemski and De’Anthony Melton for fantasy value.

Hyland didn’t move into the starting lineup with Anthony Edwards (knee) set to miss at least one week, but he did see extra minutes off the bench and took full advantage of the opportunity. This was his fourth 20-point game of the season, and he fell just short of his season-high 23-point performance in January. Hyland played 29 minutes in this game and should continue to play a larger role with Edwards sidelined, giving him some upside as a streamer, though this type of production may not come consistently.

Gobert didn’t do much scoring, but he matched his season high for rebounds and had a solid game as a shot blocker. This came two days after he was held to two points and seven rebounds against the Thunder, so this was a strong response. Gobert can’t be relied on for much outside of rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage at this point of his career, and it hasn’t come consistently, but he is still capable of dominating down low.

Randle struggled coming out of the All-Star break, but he has been excellent over their last two game, scoring 32 points in each. He has been on fire, and they’ll need him to keep it up with Anthony Edwards set to be sidelined for at least a few more games with a knee injury. Randle will be the focal point of the offense until Edwards returns which could lead to more outings like this one, especially with the Jazz up next on the schedule on Wednesday.

Dosunmu moved into the starting lineup with Anthony Edwards (knee) set to miss one-to-two weeks with a knee injury. His first game was productive, and he’s currently rostered in just 26 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Even if Edwards only misses the rest of this week, that will be three more games with Dosunmu as a starter, making him worth rostering as long as Edwards is sidelined.

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.
