Santos finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals over seven minutes during Saturday's 119-116 win over Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Santos played fewer than 10 minutes for the third time in the past four games, another in a string of unpredictable performances. Steve Kerr is arguably the worst coach when it comes to fantasy, with his nightly rotation a mystery, perhaps even for the players. At this stage, there is no reason to consider Santos, even in deeper formats.

Santos provided 14 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 victory over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

The 23-year-old got to the charity stripe often and provided a spark off the bench, finishing as Golden State's second-leading scorer behind Pat Spencer (19). Although Santos was efficient from downtown and set a new season high in scoring, his 14 points marked his first outing in double figures across 17 regular-season appearances. The third-year forward hasn't been a consistent part of the Warriors' rotation of late, and he isn't guaranteed to see the floor when the team is at full strength.

Santos chipped in four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 12 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Jimmy Butler (knee) joined a growing injury report in Golden State, allowing Santos to sneak back into the edge of the rotation. Santos has 16 appearances to his name this season, but he's averaged just 7.6 minutes per contest.

The Warriors recalled Santos from the G League on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Warriors sent Santos, De'Anthony Melton (knee) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) to the G League to participate in a scrimmage earlier Wednesday, and the trio has rejoined the NBA club after partaking in the scrimmage. Santos has become a fringe rotation piece recently.

Golden State assigned Santos to the G League's Santa Cruz Warriors on Wednesday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Santos falling out of Golden State's rotation, this move makes a lot of sense in order for the forward to see some live reps.

Santos isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Santos made a spot start Wednesday, but he'll return to the second unit Friday. The 23-year-old played 18 minutes in the start, and he hadn't seen more than 12 minutes in a game previously.

Santos is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Miami, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santos will make his first start of the campaign Wednesday, stepping into the first unit due to the absences of Jimmy Butler (back), Draymond Green (illness), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Al Horford (toe). Santos hasn't logged more than 12 minutes in a game this season.

Santos supplied five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 11 minutes in Saturday's 114-109 loss to Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Santos logged double-digit minutes for just the second time this season Saturday and made the most of his opportunity, converting both of his field-goal attempts and finishing with a plus-six plus-minus. The forward has appeared in six of Golden State's seven games to start the year, averaging 2.2 points and 1.0 rebounds in 6.7 minutes per contest.

Santos added seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, an assist and a steal over 23 minutes in Friday's 106-103 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Despite tying with Buddy Hield to lead the bench unit in minutes played, Santos did not capitalize on the opportunity, despite having an efficient outing. Santos will likely be backing up Draymond Green at the power forward position to start the season, but will have to contend with Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield for playing time.

The Warriors exercised Santos' $2.2 million team option Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Santos saw his playing time increase significantly at the start of the new year. He finished the 2024-25 regular season averaging 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 13.6 minutes per game in 56 contests (two starts). The 2022 second-round pick will likely be on the Warriors' summer league squad and will look to play well enough to earn a larger role in the rotation for the 2025-26 campaign.
