De'Anthony Melton (knee) accumulated 14 points (5-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), one rebound, three assists, two steals and one block in Thursday's loss to the 76ers.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.

Al Horford (sciatica) finished Thursday's loss to the 76ers with three points (1-of-8 FGs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer.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.
