Golden State may be done some additional role players, which means De’Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski will need to step up and handle expanded workloads.

Santos will miss a second consecutive game as he continues to deal with a pelvic contusion. With Stephen Curry also out, the Warriors will rely more on Brandin Podziemski and De’Anthony Melton on offense.

With the Warriors deciding to bring Stephen Curry off the bench in his first game back from a knee injury, Santos remained in the starting lineup on Sunday. He struggled offensively, shooting 2-of-8 from beyond the arc, but the Warriors’ forward still played 32 minutes. For managers whose leagues will be active in Week 24, the Warriors play four games, starting with the Kings on Tuesday. Santos will play quality minutes, but it’s unknown how soon Curry will return to the starting lineup.

Santos was not fully healthy in Thursday’s loss to the Cavaliers, but he still logged 31 minutes and scored 25 points. Stephen Curry (knee) is expected to return, but his playing time will be restricted. Santos will continue to figure prominently in the Warriors’ rotation, even if he comes off the bench.

Back in the Warriors’ lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, Santos was not at full strength against the Cavaliers. However, that did not keep him from having one of his best games of the season. Santos has scored at least 25 points in three of his last four outings, continuing to provide solid value while the Warriors await Stephen Curry’s return. That may happen on Sunday, but Santos’ fantasy value for the final game of Week 23 should be fine.

Santos is available after not playing in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs. While his return should bump Will Richard to the bench, the rookie is likely to remain in the rotation.

Santos sat out Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs with a pelvis injury. Will Richard moved into the starting lineup, but had just two points in 26 minutes in Santos’ absence. Curry is on the injury report as well as he continues to manage and adductor injury.

Initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, Santos is officially out. Will Richard is a potential replacement in the starting lineup. While Wednesday’s matchup is challenging, the rookie would be worth streaming in deep leagues.

Santos has been a consistent starter for Golden State for the last couple of months. If he is is forced to sit out against San Antonio, Will Richard should slide into the starting unit in his place.

Santos has been on fire recently. He followed up his career-high 31-point performance on Wednesday with another strong scoring performance in this one. Plus, he shot better than 65 percent from the floor in each game. He has contributed a little value across the board, but his strongest attribute has been his efficient scoring. With Stephen Curry (knee) set to be evaluated next week, Santos’ time as a starter could be coming to a close, but he’ll continue to be an important piece for this team.

Santos was the go-to guy for the Warriors on Wednesday. A 15-point third quarter allowed the third-year forward to eventually reach the 30-point mark for the first time in his career, which came on very efficient shooting. The three-point shot was also a big factor in Santos’ offensive success, and he even contributed on the defensive end before the night ended, as reflected in his three stocks. Santos could play a prominent role for Golden State down the stretch of the season, as the team continues to deal with injuries. He could be a valuable streaming option in the fantasy playoffs.

After coming off the bench in Monday’s win over the Mavericks, Santos is back in the starting lineup. He steps in for Moses Moody, who suffered a ruptured patellar tendon during that victory. Between Moody’s injury and Stephen Curry’s continued absence, Santos is a worthwhile pickup in some 12-team leagues.

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.

Santos has now scored at least 20 points twice in his last five games. The 23-year-old small forward isn’t known for his scoring, though, as he has no other 20-point games this year. Santos had an excellent game against the Knicks and has shown enough to be streamable when the Warriors are running a skeleton lineup. Whether he continues to start or not, Santos will still have a significant role for the Warriors once Stephen Curry (knee) returns in a week.

While Santos shot 5-of-6 from inside the arc in Monday’s defeat, he was 1-of-7 from beyond it. The good news for fantasy managers was that the overall percentage was solid, and Santos also recorded solid numbers in the rebound, assist and steal categories. However, he’s been close to a top-50 player since the All-Star break, with his opportunities increasing after Stephen Curry was sidelined by runner’s knee.

Due to Moses Moody’s wrist injury, Santos has returned to the Warriors’ starting lineup after coming off the bench in Monday’s loss to the Clippers. Not only were the 22 points he scored against the Thunder a career-high, but this was Santos’s first 20-point game as an NBA player. At a minimum, he should remain in the starting lineup as long as Moody is out. The Warriors open a four-game Week 20 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday.

The Warriors won’t have Moses Moody for Thursday’s game, which opens a spot in the starting lineup. Santos, who moved into the starting lineup when the Warriors lost Stephen Curry, returns to the lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling.

While Santos may have preferred to celebrate his big day with a victory, the Warriors’ wing certainly earned the three-year contract he signed earlier Saturday. The final line against the Lakers wasn’t particularly impressive, but Santos has been a fourth-round player over the past month, according to Basketball Monster. Stephen Curry (knee) still hasn’t resumed on-court workouts, so it’s going to be a bit longer until he’s able to return. If Santos is sitting on the waiver wire, pick him up. The Warriors play three games in Week 19, starting with the Clippers on Monday.

Santo’s extension is for three years, $15 million and includes a player option for the 2028-29 season, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. The 23-year-old forward has provided top-50 fantasy value over the last month and will continue to have value with Stephen Curry (knee) still set to miss a few more games.

Over the past month, Santos has averaged 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers per game while shooting 57.1 percent from the floor, which has led to top-50 production during this stretch. He stepped into the starting unit when Stephen Curry (knee) went down, and with Curry still set to miss at least a few more games, Santos should be considered a must-roster player.

On a night when fellow Warriors forward Draymond Green (0/2/3 in 19 minutes) missed all five of his three-point attempts, Santos had no such issues. He shot 5-of-9 from distance on the night while also providing solid value in the rebound and steals categories. Since February 1, Santos has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. With Stephen Curry (knee) out for at least another 10 days, there’s no reason why fantasy managers in deep leagues should overlook Santos. He’s currently rostered in 16 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Santos extended his career-best run of double-figure scoring efforts to six straight on Saturday, as he continues to offer solid production. He’s been the starting lineup for the last three, filling the void left by Stephen Curry (knee). With Curry possibly missing the Warriors’ final two games before the All-Star break, adding Santos ahead of Monday’s game against the Grizzlies would be a good idea.

Santos has reached double figures in five straight games, with Thursday’s tally being a season-high for the fourth-year forward. Rostered in six percent of Yahoo! leagues, Santos has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While he certainly represents a risky streaming play, Gui will be worth a look in deep leagues ahead of Saturday’s game against the Lakers to end Week 16.

The Warriors won’t have Stephen Curry for Tuesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Santos will fill the void, which shifts Podziemski and Moody up a position. Santos isn’t worth the streaming risk in most leagues, but playing time should not be an issue for him on Tuesday.

Santos was listed as probable and has officially been cleared to suit up. He scored 16 points on Wednesday, which was a season high, but he hasn’t contributed much value this season and shouldn’t be viewed as a target for fantasy managers.

Santos is managing a calf injury, but he should be able to play through it. He scored a season-high 16 points against Utah on Wednesday, but it is unlikely he repeats that level of production against Detroit.

Of the eight Warriors who finished Wednesday’s victory in double figures, five were reserves. That includes Santos, whose 16 points were three shy of his career-high. And while Golden State did lead by as much as 27, his production can’t be credited solely to the game getting out of hand. There’s no need to add Santos after Wednesday’s performance, but this may inspire some confidence among deep-league managers the next time that Golden State is shorthanded.

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.

The Warriors have made a change to their starting lineup for Thursday night, with Santos replacing Quinten Post. The Mavericks are starting Dwight Powell at the five, so Golden State can go small by sliding Green into that role. Santos is not worth the streaming risk, while Post’s value was already low.

Santos is available after missing two games with a sprained left ankle. While Jimmy Butler (knee) being out for the rest of the season may result in Santos playing rotation minutes, he is not worth the risk in fantasy leagues.
