Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (thumb) will play Thursday against the Cavaliers after missing one game due to a sprained thumb. He should return to his usual workload and offer streaming value for managers targeting defensive stats. Melton is averaging 9.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.0 steals over his last five appearances. He also recorded three assists and two steals in 25 minutes in his last start. With Stephen Curry (knee) still out, Melton could continue seeing steady backcourt minutes alongside Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (thumb) will miss Wednesday's game against San Antonio due to a left thumb strain, opening extra backcourt minutes. Gary Payton II (knee), if cleared, could be the main beneficiary after posting 16 points and five rebounds in 21 minutes last game and providing steady two-way production recently. Pat Spencer may also see more playmaking opportunities after recording eight assists in 24 minutes. Will Richard could re-enter the rotation as well. Melton's absence opens some deep-league and DFS streaming options, but there isn't an obvious one-for-one replacement in standard leagues.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's clash against the Washington Wizards. Following his impressive all-around performance in Wednesday's win over Brooklyn, Melton has a late addition to the injury report on Friday afternoon. After initially listing him as questionable, the Warriors have now ruled Melton out due to left knee injury management. His absence should give players like Pat Spencer and Will Richard more work in a fantastic fantasy matchup against the NBA's worst defensive team.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Moses Moody (wrist) and guard De'Anthony Melton (hand) have been cleared to play on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. Moody has missed 10 games due to a wrist sprain and was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Meanwhile, the team has upgraded Melton's status from probable to available. The two will start the contest alongside Brandin Podziemski, Draymond Green, and Kristaps Porzingis. Gui Santos is dropping to the second unit, while Moody's return will also impact Will Richard's playing time.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks after being listed as questionable, marking his first time playing both ends of a back-to-back this season. Melton's minutes have fluctuated, but he has remained fantasy relevant, averaging 16.0 points, 1.6 three-pointers, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals over his last five games. He remains a viable option in standard leagues for scoring and steals when his minutes hold. Brandin Podziemski and Gui Santos should continue seeing steady roles, while Melton provides backcourt depth with defensive upside.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will sit out Sunday's game against the Knicks as part of injury management on the first night of a back-to-back. With Golden State missing multiple rotation pieces, Pat Spencer, Will Richard, and Gary Payton II could all see enough minutes to draw fantasy interest. Payton finished with 12 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 19 minutes last game, while Spencer added seven points and three assists in 19 minutes. Opportunities should be there, but all three profile as risky fantasy streamers due to uncertain roles.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (groin) is available to play ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Melton is back after missing Tuesday's game due to injury. His return to the rotation should shift Will Richard back to the second unit. This season, Melton is averaging 13.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 22.5 minutes per game. He does enough on the court to warrant a look in deep leagues. He has scored 20 points or more in four of his last six games. Fantasy managers might want to consider streaming Melton while he's hot.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (adductor) is questionable to play on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Melton has been a regular on the injury report this season while managing a knee injury, but he has now hurt his left adductor muscle. This issue could sideline him for a second consecutive game. Will Richard started in Melton's absence on Tuesday against Chicago and may keep his spot for Friday's game. The 23-year-old rookie had eight points, four rebounds, one assist, and three steals in an overtime defeat. Pat Spencer, who contributed 17 points and six assists, and Gary Payton II, who had a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double, are also in a position to see more action without Melton.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (thigh) is out for Tuesday's matchup against the Bulls after the team initially considered using him in the second leg of the back-to-back. With Melton and Moses Moody (wrist) unavailable, Golden State should spread extra wing minutes across Gary Payton II, Will Richard, and reserve guard Pat Spencer. Payton logged 13 points, one three-pointer, one rebound, and one steal in 26 minutes in the loss to Utah, while Richard previously flashed upside with 21 points, two triples, five rebounds, six assists, and three steals in a February start. Spencer added four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 13 minutes last game. All three are risky deep-league streamers since their minutes could swing from night to night.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) isn't on the injury report for Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. After an impressive 30-minute performance on Thursday night against the Houston Rockets, the Warriors decided to rest Melton for Saturday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With Stephen Curry (knee) on the shelf, Melton has played a key role in Golden State's backcourt. He has averaged 17.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.7 steals since the All-Star break. Melton's return to the lineup will likely bump Pat Spencer back to the bench, where he won't have much fantasy value.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will sit out Saturday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Melton is managing a left knee injury and won't play on Saturday night after initially carrying a questionable tag on the injury report. The Warriors have recently received great production from Melton, who has averaged 17.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 steals as a starter across his last seven appearances. During this stretch, Melton managed three 20-point performances. Melton's absence could see Pat Spencer return to the starting unit, where he's posted averages of 11.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game this year.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) has been cleared to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Melton is back in the mix after sitting out Wednesday's win due to left knee injury management. Given he has only missed one game, Melton should have his normal workload on Saturday. Over the last seven games, Melton is averaging 16.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over 25.3 minutes per game. He's worth a look as a streaming option given his recent play.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Melton will have the second set of back-to-back games off for injury maintenance after posting 28 points, four rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's loss to New Orleans. Draymond Green (back) has also been ruled out, so Guy Santos will likely continue to see an expanded role in the Warriors' rotation.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) was upgraded to available for his team's contest against the Pelicans, but forward/center Al Horford (toe) will not play on Tuesday. With Steph Curry (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also sidelined, Melton is likely be very active on Tuesday and makes a solid streaming and DFS option to consider after being upgraded from questionable for injury management purposes. The Warriors have another game on Wednesday, so Melton could be a candidate to sit out the second night of the back-to-back after playing Tuesday. Without Horford, Gui Santos will continue to carry a big workload alongside Draymond Green (back), who is listed as probable.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against New Orleans after being added to the injury report following Sunday's win. The 27-year-old has started six straight games, averaging 14.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.2 steals in 24.8 minutes during that span, providing efficient two-way production. If he sits, Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard are positioned for expanded roles. Podziemski logged 37 minutes with 18 points, 15 rebounds, and nine assists last game, while Richard added 11 points in 30 minutes. Podziemski profiles as a strong streamer. Richard is a deeper-league add.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (glute) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Melton has been a starter for three consecutive games, averaging 10.7 points and 2.7 steals in 24.6 minutes. The 27-year-old will be a crucial defensive piece against San Antonio's backcourt, which is spearheaded by De'Aaron Fox. Offensively, this is a bad matchup for him, as San Antonio ranks third in defensive efficiency.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (glute) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the San Antonio Spurs. He is nursing a glute contusion and may come out of the lineup after appearing in five consecutive games. Melton has been a starter for each of the last three contests. If Melton is a no-go on Wednesday night, we may see Brandin Podziemski return to the first unit. He has also been a big part of the rotation off the bench, but a starting role would make Podziemski an even more appealing fantasy option.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will be active on Thursday night against the Phoenix Suns, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports. He was initially considered questionable for the game due to a sore left knee. Melton has enjoyed a productive campaign as a reserve guard in San Francisco, averaging 13.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.6 steals across his last eight outings. With Stephen Curry (knee) out, Melton can make an even larger impact.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) and guard De'Anthony Melton (rest) are both questionable for Sunday's rescheduled matchup in Minnesota, with the Warriors now staring at a Sunday-Monday back-to-back. Curry logged 38 points in his last outing, but could get a maintenance day with knee soreness lingering, while Melton may also be managed after heavy recent usage. Any absence would open extra ball-handling and wing minutes for Brandin Podziemski, Pat Spencer, Gary Payton II, and Will Richard, with Podziemski offering the safest short-term fantasy floor if rotations thin.

Golden State Warriors guard De'Anthony Melton (knee) will play Tuesday against Toronto after sitting out the front end of the team's back-to-back set on Monday against Miami. The 27-year-old fantasy value will be trending upward as he is expected to have an expanded role for the foreseeable future with Jimmy Butler (knee) done for the season. Through eight games in January, Melton is averaging 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 22.4 minutes per outing.
