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.

Green joins Stephen Curry, De’Anthony Melton and Al Horford as Warriors players who will sit out the second game of their back-to-back in Minnesota. Gui Santos and Will Richard should see their playing time increase out of necessity, with the latter offering a slightly higher ceiling.

Curry played 28 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Timberwolves, scoring 26 points. His absence for Monday’s rematch means the Warriors will rely heavily on Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody and Buddy Hield, with the latter possibly moving into the starting lineup. All three should be rostered for Monday’s action.

Green joins Steph Curry (knee) on the injury report, and the pair of veteran teammates may get the night off for Monday’s game, as it’s the Warriors’ second contest in as many days. If Green is ruled out, Will Richard could be in line for additional minutes, but there’s no clear fantasy beneficiary to note.

Curry was questionable for Sunday’s matchup with Minnesota, but he finished with 26/2/7/4 in the win. He may get a maintenance day for the second leg of the Warriors’ back-to-back set, which would open the door for Brandin Podziemski and De’Anthony Melton to see bumps in production and usage.

Monday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Warriors, who beat the Timberwolves on Sunday. Neither Melton nor Horford has played both games of a back-to-back this season, so they were expected to sit after being part of the rotation on Sunday.

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. While some players are sure to miss at least one of the games, Curry isn’t in that category. The 37-year-old point guard is available for a rematch from last year’s playoffs against Minnesota.

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.

Melton is good to go after being listed as questionable. Sunday’s game is the first of two matchups between the Warriors and Timberwolves in as many nights, and Melton has yet to play both ends of a back-to-back this season. Don’t be surprised if he doesn’t suit up on Monday.

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. Horford has not played both games of a back-to-back this season, so those who have him rostered should assume that the veteran center/forward won’t play in Monday’s rematch.

With Saturday’s matchup between the Warriors and Timberwolves being postponed for 24 hours, the teams will face each other on consecutive nights. Melton has not played both ends of a back-to-back since returning from a torn ACL, so he’ll likely miss one of the next two. Pat Spencer may re-enter the rotation if Melton doesn’t play on Sunday.

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. Curry did play both games of the Warriors’ most recent back-to-back (January 19-20), so he isn’t a lock to miss one of the two matchups with the Timberwolves. If he sits, the Warriors will have to rely even more on Brandin Podziemski, De’Anthony Melton and Buddy Hield.

Kuminga injured his knee and ankle on Thursday, which forced an early exit. He was reportedly set to undergo an MRI on Friday, but there hasn’t been any further reporting about a potential timetable. For now, he won’t be available against Minnesota, which should mean more minutes for Will Richard.

Kuminga exited Thursday’s loss to the Mavericks during the first half after injuring his left knee on a drive to the basket. However, according to Stein, the injury also affected Kuminga’s left ankle. While his role was expanding due to Jimmy Butler’s season-ending knee injury, the Warriors were also continuing to explore trade possibilities. Thursday’s injury will significantly impact how the Warriors approach the trade deadline, especially if Kuminga is out for an extended period.

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. The 27 shot attempts were one shy of his season-high, and the 38 points were the most he’s scored in a game since a December 28 loss to the Raptors. Depending on what happens with Kuminga, the Warriors may be forced to ask even more of their all-time great guard in the coming games.

Kuminga appeared to injure his left leg on a drive to the basket during the second quarter of Thursday’s game. While he remained in the contest after shooting his free throws, the Warriors’ forward was ruled out just before the start of the third quarter. Kuminga finished with 10 points (3-of-3 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, two assists and two steals.

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.

GP2 was initially questionable for this game, but he’ll be able to suit up. He’ll continue to occupy a minimal role off the bench as a high-energy defender, which doesn’t translate well to fantasy basketball.

There weren’t many who believed Warriors head coach Steve Kerr when he said after Monday’s win over the Heat that he could turn to Kuminga if need be, with Jimmy Butler III (knee) done for the season. Well, Kuminga checked into Tuesday’s game at the start of the second quarter and provided excellent contributions in his 21 minutes. The Warriors forward scored 12 points in the third quarter alone, helping make the game somewhat competitive after Golden State fell behind by 29. With Kuminga get legitimate chances to contribute? Or will this be a “shop window” phase in which the team looks to boost his trade value ahead of the February 5 deadline? Regardless of the answer, Kuminga getting the chance to play is huge after being shelved for 16 straight.

After dropping a season-high 24 points in Monday’s win over the Heat, Podziemski was probably due to cool down. He moved into the starting lineup on Tuesday, and the overall stat line was modest. However, one mediocre performance as the fifth starter should not prompt fantasy managers to immediately drop Podziemski, especially if he holds onto that role. He’ll look to bounce back on Thursday against the Mavericks.
