While he didn’t offer much scoring in his return to the Warriors’ lineup after a two-game absence, Green was productive in other ways. He provided solid value in rebounds, assists and steals, good news for fantasy managers who continue to roster him. However, Green’s limited scoring has capped his fantasy value at a far higher level than it was in seasons past.

Golden State’s top two scorers on Monday were players who did not see action in Sunday’s loss to the Knicks. Melton and Kristaps Porziņǵis combined to score 57 points, with the former’s 27 being one shy of his season high. Melton has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, providing needed scoring as the Warriors await Stephen Curry’s return. Unfortunately, the Warriors have another back-to-back during Week 21, which could limit Melton to two appearances in the team’s final three games.

Back in the Warriors’ rotation after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Knicks, Porziņǵis enjoyed one of his best games of the season on Monday. The 30 points matched his season high, which he first recorded on November 22 as a member of the Hawks. And Porziņǵis put up the impressive stat line in 25 minutes. While his playing time may remain limited for the foreseeable future, Porziņǵis boasts a higher ceiling with Al Horford (calf) out for at least one week.

Post’s right foot injury will keep him out for Monday’s game, which is the second in as many nights for the Warriors. A good chunk of his minutes will go to Kristaps Porziņǵis, who is available after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Knicks. Also, Draymond Green (back) is listed as probable for Monday’s game.

Cryer is sitting out the second game of Golden State’s back-to-back for injury management reasons, as a hamstring issue sidelined him for an extended period earlier this season. De’Anthony Melton is available and can absorb the minutes that would have gone to Cryer if he were available.

Post played Sunday against the Knicks and delivered a strong 22/3/3 line with three swats and four triples. He could get the night off on the second leg of Golden State’s back-to-back set for right foot injury management. With Green expected to play and Kristaps Porziņǵis off the injury report, the Warriors could lean on the pair heavily if Post is ultimately ruled out.

Moody will miss a seventh straight game, and it’s unclear when he’ll be available to return. Until Moody is back in action, Will Richard and Gary Payton II should see additional playing time.

Both players sat out Sunday’s loss to the Knicks, and both will be available for the second leg of Golden State’s back-to-back set. Expect Porziņǵis and Melton to reclaim their starting roles, likely sending Will Richard and Quinten Post back to the bench.

Post left Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with a sprained ankle, but ended up starting with the Warriors extremely short-handed against the Knicks on Sunday. The 25-year-old center was just a desperation play at the end of the week, but came through for those bold enough to start him. The Warriors have four games upcoming in Week 21, starting with a matchup against the Wizards on Monday.

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.

Podziemski had 25 points for the second straight game. The 23-year-old guard has the skillset to contribute in other categories as well, which has led to him providing sixth-round per game value since the All-Star break. Podziemski has shown he’s worth rostering in standard leagues while Stephen Curry (knee) is still out.

While the Warriors remain shorthanded, they may be getting healthier. Green, who was a late scratch ahead of Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves, was also ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Knicks. He could be back as soon as Monday, the first of four games the Warriors will play in Week 21. And with Al Horford (calf) out for at least one week, Green’s return would give the Warriors a needed boost.

Porziņǵis and Melton were held out of Sunday’s game after starting Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves. With the back-to-back, there was likely going to be one of the next two games that they would miss, so there was no surprise there. Will Richard and Quinten Post may head to the bench on Monday, but they’ll both be part of the rotation due to the Warriors’ many injuries.

Curry strained his left adductor during Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves, and he’ll miss five games before being re-evaluated. Given how banged-up the Warriors are, players like Will Richard, Pat Spencer and LJ Cryer will be on the radar in some fantasy leagues, especially with four games on the schedule for Week 21.

The Warriors are extremely shorthanded for Sunday’s game, resulting in multiple changes to the starting lineup. Richard, Leons and Post are in the starting lineup, but all are desperation plays at the end of the week. Podziemski and Santos should still be available in 12-team leagues; stream them instead.

Horford has been diagnosed with a mild strain of his right calf. The timeline provided by the Warriors means that he’ll miss at least five games, starting with Sunday’s game against the Knicks. The Warriors have also been without Draymond Green and Kristaps Porziņģis recently, which has opened the door for players like Quinten Post to play more.

Post is good to go after a sprained left ankle forced his early exit from Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves. Due to the Warriors’ many absences, he’ll be in the starting lineup, with Ömer Yurtseven set to serve as the backup center in his first appearance.

Yurtseven previously spent three seasons in the NBA, two with the Heat and one with the Jazz. The 27-year-old center played with Panathinaikos in Greece for two years before signing to play in the G League earlier this month. The signing of Yurtseven is a direct result of the Warriors current injury problems.

Horford left Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with right calf tightness after just five minutes. The 39-year-old power forward has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Knicks. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also out, Quinten Post could start and be worth streaming in standard leagues.

Melton started and had 12 points in 24 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves. The 27-year-old point guard has been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game against the Knicks for left knee injury management reasons. With Melton sidelined, Will Richard could move into the starting lineup.

Porziņģis had 20 points in 22 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves as he continues to play on a minutes restriction. The 30-year-old center will have the ultimate minutes restriction Sunday as he’s been ruled out for illness management. With Al Horford (calf) also out, Quinten Post could be worth streaming in standard leagues.

Green was a late scratch before Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with a back injury and will miss Sunday’s game against the Knicks as he continues to manage the injury. With De’Anthony Melton also out, Will Richard should see more minutes again, though he had no points in 29 minutes off the bench on Friday.

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.

Horford played five minutes before exiting due to tightness in his right calf. The veteran center’s exit likely means more playing time for Quinten Post, especially with Draymond Green (back) out and Kristaps Porziņǵis under a minutes restriction.
