Santos

Santos has unsurprisingly been ruled out after popping up on the injury report hours before the game with left knee tendonitis. Georges Niang and Al Horford are candidates to start are see more minutes with Santos sidelined, though neither are worth streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Santos popped up on the injury report as questionable with left knee tendonitis, which typically isn’t a great sign for one’s availability. Georges Niang and Al Horford are potential candidates to start if Santos is ultimately ruled out Wednesday.

Curry, Podziemski and Green are back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Suns. The latter will start at center, which means Santos remains in the starting lineup. Brandon Williams, Will Richard and Graham Ike head to the bench.

After exiting Saturday’s loss to the Suns during the third quarter, Santos is available for Monday’s game. However, with Draymond Green (back) available, Santos will likely come off the bench after making a spot start in Phoenix.

After starting Saturday’s loss to the Suns for Draymond Green, Santos exited the game in the third quarter with left knee tendinitis and did not return. With Green available for Monday’s game, Santos will come off the bench if he’s cleared to play.

Starting for Draymond Green, Santos played 23 minutes on Saturday. Unfortunately, an apparent left leg injury ended his night late in the third quarter. With the Warriors playing four games in Week 2, including a back-to-back, Santos could get another spot start, but only if he’s healthy. Keep an eye out for the injury report ahead of Monday’s game against the Nuggets.

Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski and Draymond Green are all unavailable after starting Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies. They’ve been replaced in the starting lineup by Williams, Richard and Santos. Given the absences, all three are worth streaming in deep leagues, while Yaxel Lendeborg should already be rostered in standard leagues.

Green was ruled out ahead of Saturday’s tilt against the Suns due to bilateral low back soreness, adding to the lengthy injury report for the Warriors. Gui Santos will likely get the start in place of Green.

Gui Santos has established himself as one of the best young players on the Warriors. The depth on the Warriors is very thin, so Gui’s role should be stable moving forward. He will have ample opportunities to grow this year and could be used as a streamer in redraft leagues.

Porziņǵis, who has struggled with health issues for the last two seasons, missed Golden State’s first five preseason games due to what the Warriors describe as a “health-related matter.” He’ll remain sidelined indefinitely, giving Gui Santos and Yaxel Lendeborg more opportunities in the frontcourt. Both appear on track to start the regular season, with Lendeborg offering higher fantasy upside. Al Horford is expected to be limited to 20 minutes, so he offers little fantasy value. As for Porziņǵis, fantasy managers should avoid drafting him, especially in standard leagues.
