Stephen

Curry

Richard was back in the Warriors’ rotation after sitting out the team’s final game before the All-Star break, and the rookie had one of his most productive nights of the season. Scoring in double figures for the first time in six appearances, Richard’s 17 points were the most in a game for him since dropping 20 in a December 20 win over the Suns. While there are safer streaming options, Richard is one of the players who has a slightly higher ceiling with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined.

Curry is still dealing with a persistent knee injury, according to Charania. The 37-year-old point guard will miss the next 10 days, which covers the next five Warriors games. At that point, Curry will be re-evaluated by doctors. Gui Santos figures to continue starting for Golden State and is worth streaming in deeper leagues with Curry out.

Curry did not participate in Wednesday’s practice, as he did not “feel right,” according to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. Gui Santos has played well since moving into the starting lineup, and he is worth streaming in deeper leagues while Curry remains out.

Before Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, Kerr said that his star guard was unlikely to play in Monday’s game against the Grizzlies. In addition to sitting out Monday’s contest, Curry will miss Wednesday’s matchup with the Spurs and the February 15 All-Star Game in Inglewood, California. Gui Santos has played well since moving into the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming in deep leagues until Curry returns.

Santos extended his career-best run of double-figure scoring efforts to six straight on Saturday, as he continues to offer solid production. He’s been the starting lineup for the last three, filling the void left by Stephen Curry (knee). With Curry possibly missing the Warriors’ final two games before the All-Star break, adding Santos ahead of Monday’s game against the Grizzlies would be a good idea.

Limited to six points in Thursday’s comeback win over the Suns, Moody was much better on Saturday. The 25 points were the most in a game for him since January 26, when he scored 26 in a win over the Jazz. While inconsistency can be an issue for Moody, he’s worth rostering in the short term as the Warriors await Stephen Curry’s return. The Warriors play two of their four Week 17 games before the All-Star break, and Curry may miss both, thus enhancing Moody’s fantasy value.

Saturday’s game against the Lakers is the third that Curry has missed with “runner’s knee,” and he’ll likely be out longer. In addition to saying that his star guard was doubtful for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies, Kerr said that the Warriors may hold Curry out through the All-Star break. If that were to happen, he would also miss Wednesday’s game against the Spurs. Gui Santos has played well recently, and he’s worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues while Curry sits.

Curry has been dealing with “runner’s knee” for a few weeks. It’s unknown how much longer the star guard will be out, but at the very least, he will miss one more game. Gui Santos has been productive as a spot starter and is worth a look in deeper leagues while Curry sits.

Curry banged knees with a player during Friday’s loss to the Pistons, aggravating a case of “runner’s knee” that has lingered for a bit. Thursday’s game will be the second that he’s missed. Gui Santos played reasonably well as Curry’s replacement in the lineup for Tuesday’s loss to the 76ers, but Golden State’s offensive struggles in the 113-94 defeat will likely prompt other changes to the lineup.

Curry injured his knee during Friday’s loss to Detroit, and while the Warriors have downplayed the severity, it will keep him out in their first game since then, which is also four days later. De’Anthony Melton and Pat Spencer will take on larger roles, with one of them likely sliding into the starting unit. With Curry, Jimmy Butler (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) all out of the lineup, there will be plenty of usage to go around.
