Bailey was able to score at least 20 points for the third time in his last four games. Unfortunately, even if it was an efficient night, he didn’t provide value in any other categories. Bailey should have more big scoring nights as the season progresses, but his value in category leagues will be dependent on how much he can contribute in other areas. Still, the minutes should be there, and he has had success on offense. He’ll look to stay hot against the Warriors on Wednesday.

Following a seven-game absence, Markkanen was back in the lineup for this game. However, it wasn’t the triumphant return that managers were hoping for. He was held to fewer than 20 points for the first time since Dec. 5, but the positive part is that he’s back out on the floor. Markkanen shouldn’t struggle like this often, and he’ll look to get back on track in their next game. This was the first night of a back-to-back, so Markkanen could get the night off on Wednesday after an extended absence, even if it was because of an illness.

Keyonte George got a rest game on the first night of a back-to-back, which allowed Collier to start for the sixth time this season. He came close to recording a double-double, and he is typically a consistent source of assists when he gets the minutes. This was the second straight game he had exactly nine assists, and he has reached that mark in three of his last four. If George misses more time over the final few months of the year, Collier should play enough to provide more than just dimes.

Post logged 28 minutes in the Warriors’ blowout loss to the Wolves and finished as Golden State’s leading scorer. He was one of five starters to score in double figures, with his three-point production leading the way. Despite being one of the Warriors’ more productive players on Monday, fantasy managers shouldn’t come away from this game with any new thoughts on Post — he remains a low-floor option in fantasy leagues whose value is tied to his three-point shot.

Podziemski was one of the limited regular starters who was available to play in Monday’s game. In his 28 minutes, inefficient shooting limited his scoring production, but it was enough to get him into double figures on the evening. The third-year guard also contributed on the glass and was one of Golden State’s best distributors on Monday. He wasn’t at his best in this game, but he will have plenty of opportunities going forward to log some big stat lines.

Santos got the start for a depleted Warriors team on Monday and was one of their most productive players. In his 26 minutes, he crashed the glass hard to reach double figures in rebounds, and was the only Warriors player to notch at least one block and steal apiece. Inefficient shooting, especially from beyond the arc, prevented his scoring total from being higher. Yet, he made it out of single digits and tallied his first double-double of the season.

Three of the starters from Sunday’s win over the Timberwolves — Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Al Horford — are unavailable for Monday’s rematch, as is reserve De’Anthony Melton. Spencer, Santos and Post move into the starting lineup, and the absences also boost the fantasy values of Podziemski and Moody.

Love did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Heat, which factored into Kyle Anderson playing 15 minutes off the bench. If Love can play on Tuesday, he may start, as Jusuf Nurkić (illness) is listed as doubtful. No Nurk may also mean that Anderson sticks in the rotation.

Melton had scored at least 20 points in three of his last five games entering play Sunday. The 27-year-old shooting guard failed to reach that mark Sunday, but it was still somewhat of an encouraging game for Melton because he took 13 field goal attempts in 21 minutes. With Jimmy Butler III (knee) done for the year, the Warriors are desperate for offense. Even with Melton playing about 20 minutes per game, he’s looking for his own shot when he’s out there. He’s returned 12th-round per game value over the last two weeks.

Moody’s role in the offense continues to grow with Jimmy Butler III (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) out of the lineup. The 23-year-old guard has made at least three three-pointers in six of the last seven games. Moody isn’t going to provide much in the other categories, but he can have some value in deeper formats for fantasy managers that need help from behind the three-point arc.

Coming off a 38-point performance in the Warriors’ loss to the Mavericks on Thursday, Curry merely dropped 26 points in the victory over the Timberwolves on Sunday. With Jimmy Butler III (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) both sidelined, Curry is being asked to carry the Warriors offense. The 37-year-old point guard could be in for a big second half of the season if his current usage holds. Golden State has three games in the upcoming week, starting with a rematch with the Timberwolves on Monday.

Curry is available for Sunday’s game, which is the first game of a back-to-back against the Timberwolves after the NBA pushed Saturday’s game back.

Kuminga injured his left knee and left ankle during Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks. If there’s a positive, it’s that the hyperextension of his left knee did not cause any ligament damage. The Warriors will announce a timeline for return at a later date, so fantasy managers should consider Kuminga to be out indefinitely.

Horford was initially questionable for Sunday’s rescheduled game. He’ll provide added frontcourt depth off the bench, but is unlikely to deliver the value needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Collier has come off the bench in each of his last four appearances, reaching double figures in scoring in three of them. On Saturday, the second-year guard had an effective night as a scorer and playmaker, even with the Jazz getting blown out.

Two days removed from one of his worst performances of the season, Sensabaugh got back on track Saturday night.

Utah shot 7-of-25 from three as a team on Saturday, and George was at the center of those struggles. He missed all eight of his attempts, sinking his field-goal percentage as a result.

After joining Pete Maravich in the Jazz record books in Thursday’s loss to the Spurs, Nurkić made more history on Saturday. The veteran center became the first player in franchise history to record a triple-double in three consecutive games. Nurkić has played in each of Utah’s last four games, but the availability is a concern due to the Jazz prioritizing the development of their young players. As long as he’s playing starters’ minutes, Nurk’s presence limits Kyle Filipowski (9/4/3/1 with one three-pointer in 16 minutes) from a fantasy standpoint.

Initially doubtful for Saturday’s game, Nurkić is now listed as available. However, there have been a few instances this season in which the 7-footer has not played despite not being ruled out.

The NBA’s decision to push Saturday’s game back a day has created a back-to-back, so a few of the Warriors’ veterans are back on the injury report.

If the Jazz were hoping to drum up trade interest for Nurkić ahead of the February 5 deadline, the last two games won’t hurt. On Thursday, the 7-footer became the first player to record triple-doubles in consecutive games in the franchise’s history in Utah. Counting the New Orleans years, Nurkić and the late, great Pete Maravich are the only Jazz players to record a triple-double in consecutive games. The concern at this point is the injury management nights, as Nurk has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

For those questioning whether they should grab Melton off the waiver wire, Thursday’s performance should be a convincing one. He needed 23 minutes off the bench to record a complete stat line, and he’s scored at least 23 points in three of his last five appearances. While Melton remains outside the top-150 in season-long value, that was influenced by the time he missed at the start of the season. With Jimmy Butler III (knee) done for the season, the reward outweighs the risk when it comes to adding Melton.

With Jimmy Butler III (knee) done for the season and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) leaving Thursday’s game during the first half, the Warriors needed even more production from Curry.
