Gui Santos

Payton sprained his left ankle after playing five minutes during the first half. His absence doesn't impact fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for a few of the other Warriors reserves. Gui Santos and Pat Spencer have played a few minutes, but neither player should be streamed if Payton misses time.

Butler is back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Heat. With Draymond Green and Stephen Curry also available, the Warriors will have their three best players on the floor for Friday's NBA Cup matchup. Gui Santos will head to the bench since Butler is good to go.

With Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Al Horford all unavailable, the Warriors have multiple holes to fill in their starting lineup. Of the five starters, Podziemski and Moody are the safest options for fantasy managers seeking streamers, but Richard has also been solid this season.

Green is set to miss Wednesday's game against the Heat with an illness. With the 35-year-old power forward sidelined, Quinten Post should slide into the starting lineup while Trayce Jackson-Davis and Gui Santos see rotation minutes off the bench.

The veterans in Golden State are either questionable or out for this game, and Draymond is no exception. His absence would open the door for Quinten Post to slide into the starting unit, while Trayce Jackson-Davis and Gui Santos would return to the rotation.
