Warriors' Gui Santos: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Santos did not play in the second half of Sunday's 124-112 win over the Clippers due to a knee injury and will not play against the Suns on Monday, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Santos has been working through a knee injury that he picked up in preseason action in mid-October, and he was initially tagged as questionable for Sunday's game before being cleared to play. Head coach Steve Kerr told reporters after the game that the Warriors need "to get [Santos] right," so it's possible that the fifth-year forward is facing an extended absence beyond Monday's contest. Georges Niang and Al Horford both figure to see an uptick in playing time in Santos' absence.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Drops 13 points in win
Rotowire
Santos ended with 13 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 134-114 victory over Denver.
Santos made the most of his opportunities offensively, missing just one field-goal attempt while finishing without a turnover. The forward remained in Golden State's starting lineup and provided a solid complementary scoring option alongside Stephen Curry and Yaxel Lendeborg. Although Santos has demonstrated the ability to contribute efficiently, his relatively modest usage limits his fantasy appeal outside deeper leagues.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Questionable to play Monday
Rotowire
Santos is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to left knee tendinitis.
Santos exited Saturday's 131-122 loss to the Suns with an undisclosed injury and did not return, and the questionable tag ahead of Monday's game is an issue for a Warriors team that doesn't have a lot of depth at forward at the moment. If Santos can't play Monday, and knowing that Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) remain out, Georges Niang and Gary Payton could be in line to see expanded roles versus Denver.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Scores 12 points, hauls in five boards
Rotowire
Santos finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and a steal across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 127-105 loss to the Lakers.
Santos opened the season in a starting role and provided respectable scoring and rebounding, but he did little in other categories in a game that was completely out of the Warriors' reach by the end of the third quarter. Santos should continue to see consistent minutes early in the season due to the absence of several players, including Jimmy Butler (knee), Moses Moody (knee), and Kristaps Porzingis (illness). However, his offensive involvement could remain inconsistent, and his fantasy ceiling may be limited unless he increases his defensive production or secures a larger role as the season progresses.
