Santos (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Santos was unable to play in Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Lakers due to left patella tendinitis, and the injury has put him in jeopardy of missing Saturday's contest. Santos has averaged 5.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 16.7 minutes per game since the beginning of January. Still, it's unclear how his role in the Warriors' rotation will change following Golden State's acquisition of Jimmy Butler on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out the entire second half of Wednesday's 131-128 loss to the Jazz due to left patella tendinitis, Santos had been listed as questionable for Thursday's contest. The Warriors ultimately downgraded him to out shortly before the opening tip, but Santos doesn't look as though he'll be headed for a long-term absence. Santos could be ready to go for the Warriors' next game Saturday in Chicago, but he may not be included in the rotation with Golden State expected to have the newly acquired Jimmy Butler available for that contest.

EDGE Analysis

Santos sat out the second half of Wednesday's loss to Utah with this injury, but he's considered day-to-day. With Jimmy Butler not available to make his Golden State debut, Pat Spencer and Jackson Rowe could pick up a few minutes if Santos can't give it a go.

Santos did not play in the second half of Wednesday's 131-128 loss to Utah due to left patella tendinitis, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Santos logged four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) before exiting Wednesday. Considering the contest was the first leg of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Santos sit Thursday against the Lakers. If that's the case, Pat Spencer and Jackson Rowe could see more minutes.

Santos provided 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 131-106 victory over the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Santos had one of his most efficient performances of the season and scored in double digits for the fourth time across his last eight outings. The Brazilian has recently experienced a more significant role off the bench and has taken full advantage of the opportunity. Over that eight-game stretch, Santos is averaging 8.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists while logging 21.0 minutes per game.

Santos posted 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Santos has been seeing more minutes of late, logging at least 20 minutes in five of his last seven appearances, and he's making the most of the opportunity. The Brazilian forward is averaging 7.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists across 20.1 minutes per game during that seven-game stretch. He could have some upside in deep leagues as a streaming option.

EDGE Analysis

Draymond Green (illness) is returning from a three-game absence Saturday, so this is an expected move. Santos fared well in his fill-in start during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves, finishing with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes.

Santos produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

The second-year forward made his first career start with Draymond Green (illness), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) and Kyle Anderson (hamstring) all sidelined, and while Santos didn't make a significant impact, he did pull down a season high in rebounds. Green shouldn't be out long, but there should still be a substantial role for Santos in the Golden State frontcourt when he returns to the bench -- he's played more than 20 minutes in three of the last four games, averaging 7.3 points, 4.5 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals during that span while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor and 53.8 percent (7-for-13) from long distance.

Santos will start in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

It'll be the first career start for Santos, who has come off the bench in each of his 38 appearances since 2023-24. The 22-year-old has reached double figures in scoring in two of his last three games, but it's hard to imagine the Warriors making this a long-term move once the team is healthier. That said, Santos will have a chance to return enhanced fantasy value Wednesday.
