Hart is good to go after sitting out Friday’s win over the Nets. He’ll return to his usual role in the Knicks’ starting lineup. With Landry Shamet (knee) out, Mohamed Diawara will likely be the first wing off the bench.

While the Warriors announced on Saturday that Moody would be re-evaluated on Tuesday after the team returns home from its road trip, there’s a chance that he plays on Monday. Getting him back would give the Warriors another option to call upon on the wing, but Moody’s playing time may be limited in his first game.

Payton is good to go after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. Multiple players experienced slight increases in playing time with GPII unavailable, including Will Richard and LJ Cryer. Look for them to take hits on Monday, but Richard should still get into the mid-to-high 20s in minutes.

Porziņǵis, whose back acted up during Friday’s loss to the Pistons, did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. Quinten Post, who started in Atlanta, is out for Monday’s game with a foot injury, which should mean a return to the starting lineup for Porziņǵis if available. As for Melton, he is dealing with a left hand contusion, but the probable tag suggests that he will be allowed to play.

Initially questionable for Saturday’s loss to the Hawks, Post was in the starting lineup but played just 14 minutes. His absence on Monday coincides with Kristaps Porziņǵis (back) being listed as probable. If cleared, KP will absorb the minutes that would have gone to Post.

Williams’ 19 points on Saturday were a season-high for him, and he did it on 8-of-9 shooting from the field. He didn’t offer much beyond the points, and one game does not make a player of Williams’ caliber a must-have on any fantasy roster. That said, it was good to see him take advantage of the opportunity placed in front of him in Atlanta.

Melton had a good night despite the Warriors being on the wrong end of a blowout, recording his second 20-point game in his last four outings. He has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, shooting 41.4 percent from the field. If Melton can clean up the shooting, he becomes a far more valuable fantasy player. The Warriors play four games in Week 22, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

Melton will play both games of the Warriors’ back-to-back, having logged 23 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Pistons. While he’ll be in the starting lineup, the Warriors may look to limit Melton’s workload. Still, he should be rostered in deep leagues.

Of the three, Green’s status is most important since he’s locked in as a starter. Post could start, as the Warriors won’t have Kristaps Porziņǵis, but a move into the first five would not significantly impact his short-term fantasy prospects. Leons started the second half of Friday’s loss to the Pistons, but he also is not worth the risk in redraft leagues.

Payton will not play after logging 25 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Pistons. LJ Cryer’s playing time may increase after he logged 16 minutes on Friday, but there is not much to gain from streaming him in this spot. Will Richard is the better streaming option, even if his playing time does not increase as much after playing 28 minutes on Friday.

On Wednesday, it was reported that Moody was not expected to return during the Warriors’ road trip, which concludes on Monday in Dallas. The Warriors essentially confirmed that with Saturday’s update, as the wing won’t be re-evaluated until Tuesday. However, like Stephen Curry, Moody will be incorporated back into practices in the coming days and has intensified his individual on-court workouts.

Post missed Friday’s loss to the Pistons with a foot injury while Leons had five points in 11 minutes before injuring his wrist.

Payton had 14 points in 25 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Pistons. The 33-year-old point guard has been playing more with Stephen Curry and Moses Moody (wrist) out. If Payton is ruled out Saturday, the Warriors would be short-handed in the backcourt.

Josh Hart’s absence with a knee injury meant a spot start for Shamet, but he was unable to take full advantage of the opportunity. The Knicks’ wing played 22 minutes before exiting during the third quarter with a sore right knee, and he did not offer much value before the departure. If the Knicks are down both wings on Sunday against the Wizards, Mohamed Diawara (eight points, seven rebounds, five assists, one block and two three-pointers) may be the next man up.

Brunson and the Knicks had a rough night in Brooklyn, but he got going in the fourth quarter and helped take home the victory.

Questionable for Friday’s game for personal reasons, Towns was the biggest reason why the Knicks avoided what would have been an embarrassing defeat. Six of his game-high 15 rebounds came on the offensive glass, and KAT also led all players in points. With the Knicks hosting the Wizards on Sunday, that’s another game in which Towns may showcase, especially with Washington also playing on Saturday.

Porziņǵis only played 11 minutes on Friday, as lower back soreness banished him to the locker room during the second quarter. While considered questionable to return, Porziņģis never did, as the game got out of hand. Even worse for the Warriors was Malevy Leons (five points, one rebound, one assist, and one three-pointer), who started the third quarter with KP out, leaving during the fourth quarter with a right wrist injury. The Warriors visit the Hawks on Saturday, and they could be even more shorthanded for that one.

Podziemski recorded a complete stat line on Friday, which helps compensate for the 15 points scored. After scoring 25 points in consecutive games, he’s tallied 15 or fewer in each of his last three. With Stephen Curry (knee) still out, the Warriors need more scoring from Podziemski. The upside is there; the question is whether he can meet those expectations.

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.

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.

Alvarado moved into the starting lineup with Jalen Brunson (ankle) sidelined for this game and took full advantage of the opportunity. He recorded a double-double for the first time this season and provided his usual dose of steals. Knicks coach Mike Brown said he’d “imagine” Brunson is back to take on the Nets on Friday, so this was likely just a one-game stream for Alvarado, though it’s worth keeping an eye on the injury report. It’s also worth noting how good Alvarado was in case Brunson misses more time in the future.

With Jalen Brunson (ankle) sidelined, Hart stepped up on offense with an unreal shooting night. He became the fourth player in franchise history to score at least 30 points while shooting at least 90 percent from the floor, joining Walt Bellamy, Willis Reed and Bernard King. In fact, it’s only happened 104 times in NBA history, though it was the sixth time it has happened this season. Hart was fantastic, though it is unlikely he is able to come close to matching this performance anytime soon.
