Initially questionable for Saturday’s game, Butler is officially out. Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield are among the Warriors whose minutes stand to increase with Butler, among others, sidelined for Saturday’s game. Hield offers a higher fantasy ceiling, but the need to account for Donovan Mitchell may lead to Payton getting more minutes.

Curry is among the many Warriors ruled out for Saturday’s game. With De’Antony Melton also out, expect to see a lot of Pat Spencer, who’s scored 17 and 16 points in his last two games. While a risky streaming play, he’s worth considering in deep leagues due to the current state of the Warriors’ roster.

Melton logged 21 minutes on Thursday in his first game in over a year, and he played well. He will likely end up on the injury report often this season, and his absence would likely open up extra minutes for Seth Curry and Gary Payton II.

Horford had three points in 18 minutes in Thursday’s loss to the 76ers. It was the first game action for the 39-year-old power forward since November 21. Horford will sit out Saturday’s game against the Cavaliers, but should be available for the second game of the back-to-back against the Bulls on Sunday.

Green left Thursday’s game against the 76ers with a right foot injury in the second quarter. His status remains up in the air for Saturday’s game against the Cavaliers given his questionable listing. If Green is out again, Trayce Jackson-Davis would likely start and be worth rostering in deeper formats.

Butler left Tuesday’s game against the Thunder with left knee soreness and subsequently missed Thursday’s game against the 76ers. His status is up in the air for Saturday’s game against the Cavaliers given his questionable listing. If Butler is out again, Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield should see more minutes with Hield offering a higher fantasy ceiling.

More than a year after he suffered a torn ACL, Melton was back on the court Thursday night. And he didn’t need much time to remind people why he can be a valuable option in fantasy basketball. Despite being limited to 21 minutes, Melton recorded a complete stat line with solid percentages against the 76ers. With Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler out, and Draymond Green attempting to play through a foot injury, the Warriors can use the help that Melton can provide on both ends of the floor. Managers in deep leagues may be wary of adding him after one game due to the Warriors’ upcoming back-to-back, but Melton may be worth the risk.

After matching his career-high in Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder, Spencer had another good night on Thursday. The two-way contract guard hit some big shots in the fourth quarter, including a three with 1:12 remaining that gave Golden State a 98-94 lead. Unfortunately for the Warriors, they would not score again, with Philadelphia ending the game on a 5-0 run. Spencer has some viability as a deep-league streamer for the final two games of Golden State’s road trip, due mainly to the absences of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

Thursday’s game was the first for Horford since November 21, so, understandably, he was a bit rusty. The veteran center, who received the starting nod, shot 1-of-7 from beyond the arc in Philadelphia, missing seven straight after making his first attempt. With Draymond Green (foot) exiting at halftime and Jimmy Butler (knee) already out, the Warriors can use a healthy Horford. Unfortunately, they’ll end Week 7 with a back-to-back, so he’ll sit on either Saturday or Sunday.

Green, who missed a game in late November with a midfoot sprain, injured his right foot during the second quarter of Thursday’s game. Having limped off the court, he has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. Trayce Jackson-Davis started the third quarter and could be worth a look in deep leagues if Green misses time, since the Warriors are also without Jimmy Butler.

Appearing in a game for the first time since November 21, Horford is part of the Warriors’ starting lineup, filling the void left by the injured Jimmy Butler III. With the 39-year-old returning from sciatica, his minutes are likely to be restricted, meaning a slight bump may be in the cards for Quinten Post.

Horford is available to make his first appearance since November 21 against the Trail Blazers. He’ll give the Warriors another option to call upon in the frontcourt, but the days when the veteran center was a lock to provide reliable production may be in the rear-view mirror.

Kuminga is available after being questionable, giving the Warriors some much-needed depth on the wing. With Jimmy Butler III unavailable, there may be additional opportunities available to Kuminga. However, because of the knee injury that sidelined him for multiple games, the Warriors may take a conservative approach to Kuminga’s playing time.

Post should remain in the Warriors’ rotation on Thursday, regardless of what happens with the status of 76ers starting center Joel Embiid. However, the second-year center’s fantasy ceiling is limited, even with the Warriors not having Stephen Curry or Jimmy Butler III to rely on offensively.

Jackson-Davis will be available to take on some rotation minutes, especially with Jimmy Butler III (knee) unavailable. However, TJD is not guaranteed to play the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball, so he can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues.

Butler was initially questionable for Thursday’s game after a sore left knee caused a premature exit from Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder. Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield should see their minutes increase, and De’Anthony Melton is available to make his first appearance of the season. Of the three, Hield offers the highest offensive ceiling.

TJD joins Al Horford (sciatica) and Quinten Post (ankle) as questionable. With Draymond Green healthy, Jackson-Davis will likely only play a large role if both Horford and Post are sidelined, though if he does, he won’t be worth streaming.

Post has been a solid backup center this year, but with Draymond Green healthy, he won’t have much upside as a streamer regardless of his status. If he is unavailable, Al Horford will fill the backup center minutes, and Trayce Jackson-Davis should return to the rotation, though all three players are currently questionable.

Melton last suited up on Nov. 12, 2024, meaning if he sees the floor against Philadelphia, he will play for the first time in over a calendar year. It’s unclear how large of a role he’ll have, though it can safely be assumed that it won’t be a large one at first. Melton has a fantasy-friendly skillset, and he could end up as an intriguing waiver-wire pickup later in the year.

Horford could make his return after missing Golden State’s last four games. Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis are also questionable, so the availability of all three players will impact the minutes of each. Still, if Horford plays, he’s going to see his typical role as a backup center.

Since returning from a seven-game absence due to a bilateral knee issue, Kuminga has played 19 and 16 minutes off the bench. Now, he’s dealing with right ankle soreness. If he isn’t able to suit up against Philly, Moses Moody and Buddy Hield should see a bump in minutes.

Knee soreness ended Butler’s night early on Tuesday, which allowed Gary Payton II to start the second half in his place. Buddy Hield logged 28 minutes off the bench, and while he didn’t shoot well, he did get 15 shots. If Butler misses Thursday’s game, Hield would be the preferred streaming option over GPII.

Curry, who suffered a right quad contusion during the Warriors’ November 26 loss to the Rockets, has not played in the team’s last two games. Unfortunately, he’ll be out for a bit longer, with head coach Steve Kerr announcing following Tuesday’s loss to the Thunder that Curry will not travel for the team’s three-game road trip. After visiting Philadelphia on Thursday, the Warriors have games against the Cavaliers (December 6) and Bulls (December 7) before returning home. The hope is that Curry will be able to play on December 12 against the Timberwolves. Until then, Brandin Podziemski should continue to start, and he’s worth adding in 12-team leagues.

With older brother Stephen out with a quad contusion, Seth made his Warriors debut on Tuesday. And he provided excellent scoring value in his role, logging 18 minutes off the bench. Curry was one of four Warriors reserves to reach double figures, and the team will need more of the same with Jimmy Butler exiting Tuesday’s game with a sore right knee. Seth should not be rostered on the strength of one game, but with Stephen not traveling for the upcoming road trip, that could change with another solid performance.

Due to injuries to Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler, the Warriors needed contributions from everyone to compete with the reigning champs on Tuesday. That includes Spencer, who matched his career-high in points in 21 minutes off the bench. In the three games leading up to Tuesday, the two-way contract guard totaled seven points on 3-of-6 shooting from the field. Against the Thunder, Spencer also recorded a career-high in made shots (eight) and provided solid value in the assist category. He should not be picked up in the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s showing, but Spencer is worth watching for now.

With Stephen Curry (quad) out and Jimmy Butler (knee) not returning for the second half of Tuesday’s game, the Warriors relied on an even more balanced offensive approach than usual. Podziemski was one of six players to score in double figures, and one of four to hit double digits in shot attempts. He’s been Curry’s replacement in the starting lineup. And with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr saying after Tuesday’s defeat that Steph won’t travel on the upcoming road trip, now is a good time to roll the dice on Podziemski in 12-team formats.
