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.
Pat Spencer accounted for 16 points (5-of-8 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the 76ers.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.
