Post only played 11 minutes on Friday, as he exited prematurely with a sprained left ankle. A potential absence for the second-year center would not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, but the Warriors were already lacking depth in the post. Draymond Green (back) did not play on Friday, Al Horford (calf) exited after five minutes and Kristaps Porziņǵis is still under a minutes limit. The Warriors end Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.

Porziņǵis remains under a minutes restriction, with the Warriors’ big man logging 20 minutes on Friday. However, he took advantage of those minutes, recording his first 20-point game since joining the team. Add in the fact that Porziņǵis recorded a complete stat line, and few, if any, fantasy managers will turn their noses up at this performance. The Warriors, who lost Al Horford (calf) and Quinten Post (ankle) during Friday’s defeat, finish their Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Sunday.

After totaling 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting in his prior two appearances, Podziemski exceeded that number on Friday. Add in the rebounds and three-pointers, and this was a solid effort from the Warriors’ guard, even if he did not record any defensive stats. Since the All-Star break, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. With Stephen Curry (knee) out for at least one more week, Podz is worth picking up if he’s on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

Curry exited Friday’s game during the second quarter, and the Warriors announced at the beginning of the fourth that he won’t return due to a sore left adductor. Gary Payton II and Malevy Leons may pick up a few more minutes with Curry sidelined, but neither will be worth the streaming risk moving forward.

Green has been added to the Warriors’ injury report, which is not a good sign regarding his availability for Friday’s game. With Al Horford already starting, Will Richard could remain in the starting lineup if Green doesn’t play. If Green plays, Richard will likely head to the bench, since De’Anthony Melton is available.

Mitchell was solid in his 30 minutes of game action, finishing with fewer points than only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the Thunder en route to the two-point win. Efficient shooting was the key driver of Mitchell’s success on Thursday, but his ability to facilitate and make plays for others was another noteworthy takeaway. Whether he’s started or come off the bench, Mitchell has become a reliable wing option for the Thunder in his second NBA season. He’ll have a chance to find solid production again on Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Holmgren had a relatively pedestrian game on Thursday compared to some of his recent performances. The versatile center finished below his average in points, missed a double-double by one rebound, and didn’t record any blocked shots for a second straight game. He still concluded as the team’s top rebounder on the night and one of its best scorers, but fantasy managers will certainly want more from Holmgren with the fantasy playoffs on the horizon.

Gilgeous-Alexander recorded a memorable outing in the Thunder’s close win over the Celtics on Thursday. A notable midrange jumper during the third quarter gave the reigning MVP his 127th consecutive 20-point game, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the longest streak in NBA history. He proceeded to score efficiently, come up big down the stretch, and log at least 30 points for the 38th time this season. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect any dip in production from SGA as the fantasy playoffs near.

That means Moody will miss Friday’s home game against the Timberwolves, which will be his fifth missed game in a row, but could return at any point after that. As of now, his conditioning seems fine, but he is only shooting with his left hand, so we would assume he comes back near the tail end of the road trip, if at all. Moody was playing between 27 and 35 minutes per game before he got hurt, and while the Warriors may ease him back in, he should return to that role soon after his return. That means the current minutes and usage increase for Will Richard, Pat Spencer, and Gary Payton could be nearing an end.

The Warriors received solid contributions from their bench on Tuesday, with Spencer and LJ Cryer (17/1/2 with three three-pointers) scoring 17 points apiece. The former also provided solid value in the assist category, with his six helpers being the most in a game for Spencer since February 25 against the Grizzlies (nine). More should be learned about Stephen Curry’s progress on Wednesday as he continues to recover from a knee injury. His availability affects the fantasy values of the entire perimeter rotation, including Spencer and Cryer.

Having hit double digits in rebounds in two of his last three appearances, Payton recorded his second double-double of the season on Tuesday. The few who have him on their fantasy rosters also received good value in the steals category. Payton is not a must-roster player, but his fantasy value increases on nights when the Warriors don’t have De’Anthony Melton, as was the case against the Bulls.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Jazz, Horford played a season-high 34 minutes against the Bulls. While he shot the ball poorly, including a 2-of-8 night from inside the three-point line, the veteran center did finish with a complete stat line. The Warriors end Week 20 with games on Friday and Sunday, with the second being part of a back-to-back.

Tuesday was a reminder that Porziņǵis does not need to log heavy minutes to have an impact. He played 20 minutes against the Bulls, producing solid numbers in points, rebounds and blocked shots. The Warriors have two more games in Week 20, but the last, Sunday against the Knicks, is the first of a back-to-back. Given the recent health struggles, Porziņǵis isn’t guaranteed to be available for any game, but the remaining schedule may work in his favor for this week.

While Podziemski missed all four of his free-throw attempts, he shot 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. The rebounds, assists and steals also helped compensate for the poor shooting at the charity stripe, but Podz has made just 63.2 percent of his attempts since the All-Star break. He’ll look to clean that up moving forward, starting with Tuesday’s game against the Bulls.

Appearing in a game for the first time since December 4, Curry looked far from rusty in his 12 minutes. Shooting 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, the 12 points were two shy of his tally in his Warriors’ debut on December 2. Due to the lack of production in other categories and the minutes, Curry should not be rostered in fantasy leagues. The question is whether there’s enough time remaining in the season for the veteran guard’s minutes to hit an acceptable number for fantasy managers.

Appearing in a game for the first time since January 21, Mitchell looked far from rusty in the first half of Monday’s victory. Shooting 7-of-12 from the field, the second-year guard scored 15 points before halftime. Mitchell ultimately played 29 minutes, with Cason Wallace (four points, two rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes) taking the most significant hit in terms of playing time. Before his injuries, Mitchell was productive enough to become a must-roster player in deep leagues. In the aftermath of Monday’s performance, his rostership is likely to increase.

As a general rule, JayWill should be considered as a streaming option on nights when Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein don’t play. On nights when both are out, Williams is a must-roster player. He was outstanding against the Nuggets, shooting 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. The seven triples were a career-high for the former second-round pick, and fantasy managers also benefited from the rebounds, assists and blocked shots. Oklahoma City doesn’t play again until Thursday, which may be enough time to get Holmgren and Hartenstein back in the lineup. If not, do not hesitate to pick up Williams.

A thriller in Oklahoma City went down to the wire, with the reigning Most Valuable Player getting the last laugh. Gilgeous-Alexander hit three-pointers on the Thunder’s final two possessions, the last giving the reigning champs the 129-126 victory. And he made some history, moving into a tie with Wilt Chamberlain for the most consecutive games with at least 20 points, 126. Add in the career-high 15 assists and nine rebounds, and Monday was another great night for SGA and those who have him on their fantasy rosters.
