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.

Golden State could be heavily depleted on Tuesday, and if Santos and Richard are ultimately ruled out, Buddy Hield and Moses Moody could see some additional run.

Santos will miss a second consecutive game as he recovers from a sprained left ankle. Buddy Hield entered the rotation on Saturday against the Hornets, playing 18 minutes off the bench. He should take on a similar workload on Monday.

Santos sprained his left ankle during the first half of Thursday’s win over the Knicks and did not return. While he will not play on Saturday, the Warriors do not expect this to become a long-term issue. Will Richard should see an increase in his minutes off the bench, but the rookie is not worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Santos sprained his left ankle during his first stint on the floor, and he was ruled out for the rest of the night at halftime. His absence has resulted in Will Richard seeing more minutes, but this is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball moving forward.

Smaller defenders tend to succeed more against Karl-Anthony Towns than traditional centers, so the Warriors will start Green at the five. With Quinten Post being moved to the bench, Santos moves into the starting five. He offers limited streaming value in this role, while there’s no need to roster Post.
