Melton posted 22 points (9-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 23 minutes during the Warriors' 123-115 loss to the Mavericks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Melton and Stephen Curry (38 points) provided most of the scoring punch for the Warriors on Thursday. Melton also led Golden State with a plus-22 point differential while posting his fourth 20-plus-point performance in his last eight outings. Jimmy Butler (knee) is out for the season, and with Jonathan Kuminga (knee) leaving during Thursday's contest, Melton is in line to serve in an expanded role off the bench for the foreseeable future.

Melton (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

The Warriors are clearing Melton for the second half of their back-to-back set after he rested Monday. The guard is trending up in January, averaging 15.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 22.4 minutes per contest over his last eight games and could handle increased usage with Jimmy Butler (knee) done for the season.

Melton has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Heat due to left knee injury management.

EDGE Analysis

Melton will be held out of the front end of Golden State's back-to-back set, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Raptors. With the 27-year-old guard sidelined, Will Richard, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Melton closed Saturday's 136-116 win over the Hornets with 24 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes off the bench.

EDGE Analysis

Eight different Warriors scored in double digits on the night, but Melton led them all as he set a new season high in points. The 27-year-old guard has found a groove in January, topping 20 points in three of the last six games and averaging 17.2 points, 3.0 boards, 2.7 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.2 combined steals-plus-blocks in 21.5 minutes a contest.

Melton ended with 23 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 119-97 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Melton logged his fifth double-digit scoring performance over his past six games, and one of those appearances also garnered a 20-plus point performance. His swift work in only 18 minutes was impressive, and his efforts have been a difference-maker during the Warriors' recent 4-2 run. He's averaged 15.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals over the past six games.

Melton posted 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 120-113 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Melton was a major bright spot for the Warriors and posted a season-high 22 points. He still has restrictions, including during back-to-back sets, but he's trending up with averages of 12.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.5 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.2 minutes over his last six games.

Melton (rest) will play Saturday against the Jazz.

Melton is out for Friday's game against the Thunder due to left knee injury management.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off ACL surgery last year, Melton isn't yet cleared to play both ends of back-to-back sets. The expectation is that he'll be available Saturday against Utah. The likes of Pat Spencer, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield should help fill out the backcourt minutes for the short-handed Warriors on Friday.

Melton (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Melton may miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to left knee injury management, which would leave more minutes available for the likes of Will Richard, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield. Over his last five appearances, Melton has averaged 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals across 20.6 minutes per game.

Melton (knee) is good to go for Monday's game versus Brooklyn.
