GSW • Point Guard and Shooting Guard • #14

Melton was one of the few players to come off Golden State’s bench and find production. He logged 28 minutes and converted half of his 10 field-goal attempts in that time, leading him to finish as the Warriors’ third-leading scorer on the evening. Melton also rebounded well from the guard position and nearly landed a double-double in the process. For the eighth-year veteran, he played relatively well in his first season back from an ACL tear. He averaged 12.3 points in his 49 regular-season appearances but struggled with his three-point efficiency. Perhaps being another year removed from the injury will pay off for him next season, potentially leading to more fantasy production.

Podziemski did what he could on Friday during his 39 minutes on the floor. He led the Warriors in shot attempts, points, and rebounds, while tying a team-high in made three-pointers. The third-year guard’s zero assists and four turnovers weren’t ideal, but his production elsewhere was some of the best on the team. Podziemski eventually became the full-time starter over the second half of the season and played fairly well in the role. Going into Year 4, he could potentially have some fantasy value, depending on what the roster looks like.

Curry couldn’t quite re-capture the magic of Wednesday’s thrilling 35-point performance. In Friday’s loss, he totaled as many turnovers as made field goals in his 36 minutes, finishing with under 20 points on inefficient shooting. The four-time NBA champion also couldn’t make much of an impact as a passer in this game, as Phoenix did a good job defensively to slow down the entire Golden State offense. Curry finishes his 17th NBA season averaging 26.6 points and 4.7 assists. While his numbers were impressive, he only played in 43 regular-season games, which undoubtedly hurt his fantasy production.

Porziņġis had been upgraded from questionable to available, marking good news for the Warriors. The veteran center posted a 20/5/5/1/2 line against the Clippers in the team’s Play-In Tournament win on Wednesday and will have a good chance to land strong production on Friday.

Post, who last appeared in a game on March 29, remains out for Friday’s Play-In Tournament game. The Warriors went with an eight-man rotation on Wednesday against the Clippers, and that’s likely to remain the case as long as Kristaps Porziņǵis (ankle; questionable) is available.

One day removed from playing 28 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Clippers, Porziņǵis is on the injury report due to a sore left ankle. If he’s unable to play on Friday, the Warriors may turn to Al Horford, who logged 22 minutes on Wednesday. That would mean more minutes for Gary Payton II as well, even though he does not share a position with Porziņǵis or Horford.

Santos stepped up in a big way for the Warriors during the second half of the season, and that continued into a strong play-in performance for him. He entered the starting lineup when Stephen Curry went down with a knee injury in late January and took full advantage of the opportunity. He ended up signing a three-year, $15 million contract extension with Golden State that may end up looking like a bargain. Santos will continue to be a pivotal piece for the Warriors with the postseason continuing for them on Friday in Phoenix.

Porziņģis entered the postseason having shot below 40 percent in three straight games. However, he was able to post his best field goal percentage as a Warrior in this game, which contributed to them surviving the 9/10 play-in game. They’ll need Porziņģis at his best in Friday’s game against the Suns to have a chance to advance to the playoffs. Porziņģis’ availability has been limited this season, but when he’s been on the floor, his impact has been clear.

Curry came alive late in this game in a way that only he can. He shot 10-of-14 from the floor in the second half and scored 27 points after the break to help bring the Warriors back. He also played 36 minutes, which is the most he has played in a game since December. Curry missed most of the second half of the season with a knee injury, but it didn’t seem to limit him in this game. He’ll need to have another big performance in Phoenix on Friday for the Warriors to advance to the playoffs.

Post missed the season finale against the Clippers and is now set to miss the Play-In Tournament game. The foot injury has kept the second-year center out of the lineup since March 29 against the Nuggets. Without his services, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford should see the bulk of the minutes at center.

Kerr made the comments following Sunday’s regular-season finale, a loss to the Clippers in the first of two meetings between the teams over four days. None will surpass 40 minutes, but the question is how far beyond 30 minutes the veterans will go. Curry’s 29 minutes on Sunday were the most for him since returning from a case of runner’s knee, and Porziņǵis has logged 29 minutes just twice since joining the Warriors. As for Horford, he has exceeded 30 minutes just twice this season, most recently March 10 against the Bulls.

After logging 26 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Kings, Porziņǵis played 24 minutes on Sunday. The lingering question going into the Play-In Tournament is how much the 7-foot-2 center can play, especially with the Warriors needing two wins to reach the playoffs. Draymond Green (back) was not available on Sunday; getting him back for Wednesday’s rematch with the Clippers will clearly help matters in the frontcourt. But in Porziņǵis and Al Horford (5/4/2 in 19 minutes), the Warriors have two veteran post players whose minutes have been limited for most of the season.

The plan going into Sunday’s regular-season finale was for Curry to play no more than 30 minutes. He logged 29 against the Clippers and looked relatively sharp, shooting 50 percent from the field and recording a complete stat line. The Warriors knew what their playoff seed would be; Curry approaching 30 minutes was about ensuring his body was ready to take on more as the team heads into the postseason. The Warriors return to Inglewood on Wednesday to play the Clippers, with the loser heading home and the winner visiting either Phoenix or Portland on Friday.

Richard is good to go for Sunday’s regular-season finale. With the Warriors locked into the No. 10 seed in the West, the rookie wing may play extended minutes if his back holds up.

Green will sit out Sunday’s regular-season finale due to lower back injury management. With the Warriors locked into the No. 10 seed, the priority is ensuring that he’s healthy for Wednesday’s Play-In game against either the Clippers or the Trail Blazers.

While both were available for Friday’s loss to the Kings, Richard was limited to three minutes off the bench while Green started and logged 24. If Richard can’t play, his minutes can be absorbed by the Warriors’ other perimeter reserves, such as De’Anthony Melton and Pat Spencer. A void left by Green would be more challenging to fill, with Gary Payton II being one of the options.

Post has been out since March 29, while Cryer injured his ankle during the Warriors’ April 9 loss to the Lakers. While their absences won’t affect active fantasy leagues, they do leave the Warriors down an option in the post and on the perimeter.

For the first time in his career, Podziemski was able to reach the 30-point mark. It wasn’t enough for Golden State to get the win, but it was an excellent performance for him. Podz is averaging career highs in points, assists and three-pointers per game, and he is wrapping up the season on a hot streak. Golden State will be the 10th seed in the West entering the play-in tournament next week, and Podz will need to stay hot if they want to make it to the playoffs.

Curry got the starting nod for the first time since January and played 27 minutes. He didn’t contribute to the level that he’s capable of, but it was good to see him back in the starting unit. The Warriors have clinched the 10th seed in the West, so don’t expect Curry to suit up in the season finale. However, he should be at full strength for the play-in tournament next week.

Friday’s game will be Horford’s first since March 13, giving the Warriors a little more depth in the frontcourt. The veteran center/forward will be restricted to 15-20 minutes, limiting his value to managers in active fantasy leagues.

With Charles Bassey also expected to play, the Dubs may have a healthy big-man rotation for the first time in many games. Expect the trio to split minutes without one player seeing significantly more run than the others.

Spencer didn’t shoot the ball efficiently on Thursday, but was able to be effective as a passer. His six assists were a tie for the most on the team, but he did commit three turnovers in the process. The third-year guard has scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances. He’ll have a chance to do so again on Friday against the Kings.

Podziemski continues to score the basketball efficiently despite the Warriors’ struggles to win games. The third-year guard made almost all of his shots inside the three-point line on Thursday to tie a team-high in scoring. He didn’t compile many other stats, however, as the Warriors dropped their fourth game in the last five. They’ll face the Kings on Friday.

In his return from injury, Williams picked up exactly where he left off. He tallied another double-digit scoring performance, which marked his second straight and third in the last four games. Three-point shooting was a big part of the fourth-year guard’s success on Thursday. He tied a team-high in points and should continue to have opportunities to produce over the final two games of the regular season.

Nate Williams will get the start on Thursday for an injury-hit Warriors team that is locked into the 10th seed in the Western Conference. They’ve won just one of their last five games, but will have a chance to finish the regular season strong before heading into the Play-In Tournament.

Curry is out for Thursday’s game against the Lakers, and the expectation of many was that he’d miss one of the Warriors’ next two games. Kerr confirmed as much with his pregame comments on Thursday, saying that he expects Curry to play in Sacramento. There’s also hope that Kristaps Porziņǵis (illness) will play against the Kings.

Cryer was initially probable for Thursday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. With Stephen Curry and Gui Santos sidelined, the rookie guard should play rotation minutes. However, this is not enough to make Cryer a player worth trusting in active fantasy leagues.
