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.

The Warriors made 24 three-pointers in Monday’s victory, extending the team’s streak of games with 20 or more to four. Post was responsible for four of them, and the 16 points were the most he’s scored in a game since December 12. The second-year center has been a fixture in the starting lineup since early December, but Post’s production has not made him worth the risk in redraft leagues.

For the first time since mid-December, Post has reached double figures in points in consecutive games. With Draymond Green getting ejected from Saturday’s game late in the second quarter, the Warriors needed a bit more from Post on the glass, and he answered the call. After grabbing 12 rebounds in a December 22 win over the Magic, he totaled nine rebounds in the five games that followed. Post matched that output against the Jazz.

Despite not shooting the ball well, Post was Golden State’s second-highest scorer on the evening — the majority of his production came from beyond the arc, where he shot 4-of-11. He also made a decent impact on the boards in his 33 minutes. And while Post’s performance on Friday was nothing spectacular, it marked the fourth straight game he’s scored in double figures. He’ll have chances to produce solid fantasy basketball numbers if Draymond Green (foot) and Al Horford (back) continue to miss time.

Post knocked down a season-high five three-pointers and matched his previous season-high mark with 19 points on the second night of a back-to-back. The 25-year-old sharp-shooting big man has stepped up to offer some fantasy relevance in deeper formats with both Draymond Green (foot) and Al Horford (sciatica) out of the lineup recently.

Post drew the starting assignment for a makeshift lineup with most of Golden State’s core sitting this one out. The 25-year-old sharpshooting big man knocked down a pair of three-pointers and pulled down a team-high nine boards. He’s capable of making an impact for fantasy purposes when given an opportunity but those spots are tough to come by unless injuries strike.

Post should remain in the Warriors’ rotation on Thursday, regardless of what happens with the status of 76ers starting center Joel Embiid. However, the second-year center’s fantasy ceiling is limited, even with the Warriors not having Stephen Curry or Jimmy Butler III to rely on offensively.

Post has been a solid backup center this year, but with Draymond Green healthy, he won’t have much upside as a streamer regardless of his status. If he is unavailable, Al Horford will fill the backup center minutes, and Trayce Jackson-Davis should return to the rotation, though all three players are currently questionable.

Initially probable for Wednesday’s game, Post has been given the all-clear. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, the second-year center is unlikely to provide the value needed to justify being rostered in most fantasy leagues. Especially with Al Horford available after not playing on Tuesday.

Post started and had six points and three rebounds in 17 minutes against the Thunder on Tuesday. The 25-year-old center is probable with left Achilles soreness for the matchup with the Spurs on Wednesday. Post doesn’t have much fantasy value, but he’s usable in deeper formats when he’s in the starting lineup.

Curry is back after missing the last three games with an illness. His return means Brandin Podziemski will come off the bench, with Post getting the start at center. Green is starting on Tuesday, but there’s a chance he won’t play on Wednesday against the Spurs.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr’s decision to go with a bigger lineup on Sunday benefited Post, who made his sixth start of the season. He was productive, scoring 14 points and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Rostered in two percent of Yahoo! leagues, Post has not done enough to merit being rostered consistently, but there is streaming value when the Warriors are shorthanded. Moses Moody, who moved to the bench on Sunday, finished with a 13/3/1/2/1 line with three three-pointers.

The Warriors are once again without Stephen Curry, who will miss a third game due to illness. However, head coach Steve Kerr has gone with a bigger lineup to begin Sunday’s game. Moses Moody will move to the bench, with Post receiving the nod and pushing Green to the four. Moody will still play plenty and can provide solid value with Curry unavailable.

Post came off the bench for the fifth time this season. In his reserve role on Friday, he went without a miss on his six field-goal attempts and finished as the Warriors’ best bench scorer on the night. Post has seen his role fluctuate throughout the early part of the season and has yet to find the rhythm on offense that he displayed last season. Nevertheless, he’ll have a chance to log consecutive strong performances on Sunday against the Pacers.

Due to a need to match up with Suns center Mark Williams, the Warriors started Post on Tuesday. The second-year center played well, shooting well over 50 percent from the field overall and 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. Add in the rebounds and blocks; this was a good night to stream Post in deep leagues. Brandin Podziemski, bumped to the bench in favor of Post, finished with 13 points (5-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer. Al Horford (rest) will be available for Wednesday’s game against the Kings, so Post’s minutes may decrease after logging 27 on Tuesday.

Butler is available after being listed as questionable with a back injury. The lone change to the starting lineup is Post, whose inclusion comes at the expense of Brandin Podziemski. Podziemski has provided top-100 fantasy value this season and will still play plenty despite coming off the bench.

Playing their second game in as many nights, the Warriors will go with a bigger lineup to begin Tuesday’s matchup with the Clippers. Post moves into the starting lineup, bumping Brandin Podziemski to the bench. Those who have the latter rostered should not be too concerned; he’ll still play plenty. As for Post, his fantasy potential is limited since Al Horford is available. Horford will be limited to 22 minutes.

Post replaces Brandin Podziemski in the starting lineup on Friday to mark the first starting lineup change of the season for the Warriors. The second-year big man will bring additional frontcourt size to the opening unit on the second night of a back-to-back as the Warriors look to remain undefeated and move to 3-0 on the season.

After providing limited production in Sunday’s preseason opener, Post went off on Wednesday. In the fourth quarter alone, he shot 4-of-7 from the field, combining with LJ Cryer (14/1/2/1 with three three-pointers) to spearhead a rally in which the Warriors outscored Portland by a 51-26 margin. With the addition of Al Horford (two rebounds and two assists), Post is likely locked into a reserve role this season. However, he’ll still play rotation minutes and will be worth streaming on nights when Horford isn’t available. Horford did not play both games of back-to-backs in either of the last two seasons.

With Jimmy Butler back, head coach Steve Kerr bumped Post back to the bench, though he still played a significant reserve role. After playing 27 minutes as a starter, he played 20 minutes off the bench in Game 4 and scored in double figures for the second time this postseason. The numbers weren’t eye-popping, but the threat of a stretch big certainly opens things up on offense for Golden State. Post will continue to be an important part of the team’s rotation moving forward.

The Warriors are without Jimmy Butler (pelvis/glute) for Game 3, resulting in Kuminga moving into the starting lineup. But that is not the only change. After going small in the first two games, the Warriors will move Post into the starting five, with Moses Moody coming off the bench. This change should provide a greater deterrent to Alperen Sengun, who played well against smaller lineups in Games 1 and 2.

Post will be back after missing Golden State’s last two games. Post should be back to filling out the backup center minutes as a floor-spacing big, but he hasn’t played a large enough role to provide much production in the box score.

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.

The Warriors are without Stephen Curry, who will miss Saturday’s game with a pelvic contusion. His absence means Post will return to the starting lineup, raising the rookie’s fantasy ceiling slightly. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga should pick up more opportunities despite coming off the bench.

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.

Post is available after only playing 11 minutes in Monday’s loss to the Nuggets. With the Bucks having Brook Lopez in the middle, this could be a better matchup for the rookie center than Denver was on Monday since Nikola Jokic did not play.

Post only played eight minutes in Monday’s loss to the Nuggets, with Denver’s decision not to play Nikola Jokic factoring into the rookie’s lack of playing time. Post is dealing with a right ankle impingement, and the Warriors could choose to start Draymond Green at the five if the rookie cannot play. As for Podziemski, Tuesday is reportedly the day the Warriors have targeted for his return from a strained back. If available, he can absorb some of the minutes that would have gone to Stephen Curry, who will not play on Tuesday.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Post is officially active. And he’ll be in the starting lineup, joining Stephen Curry, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. Post hasn’t been a reliable fantasy option this season, but he has played well enough to earn consistent playing time.

After replacing Moses Moody in the starting lineup in the second half on Thursday, Post got the starting nod on Saturday, though it was in place of Jimmy Butler, who was sidelined with a back injury. Post took advantage of the opportunity and was Golden State’s second-leading scorer for a second straight game. It’s unclear if he’ll remain in the starting lineup when Butler returns, but he ranks just outside the top-100 in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks and would have some streaming upside if he remains in that role.

The lone change is Post, who will make his first start since February 12. He steps in for Jimmy Butler, who will not play in Saturday’s game due to back spasms. Post’s perimeter shooting ability gives him the ability to provide some value, but he’ll face a difficult matchup on the other end with Andre Drummond.
