Schroder's had a rough time since arriving in San Francisco mid-December, but things may be turning around. He's reached double figures in five straight games, with Saturday's point total being his best since before the trade. While he's ranked outside the top 250 in 9-cat formats over the past month, Schroder's status as a starter keeps him rostered in 54% of Yahoo leagues. Hopefully, Saturday's performance serves as a catalyst for the veteran point guard.
Santos will get his first start of the season with both Draymond Green and Kyle Anderson sidelined. Buddy Hield got the nod in their last game, but he'll return to the bench for this one. Santo has had a couple solid performances recently and should be a decent producer as a starter in this game.
The Warriors are playing their second game in as many nights, so Stephen Curry and Draymond Green join the lengthy list of absentees for injury management reasons. Waters and Anderson will fill the voids in the starting lineup. While neither is a lock to provide reliable fantasy value, the circumstances make both worthy of streaming consideration in deep leagues.
Curry will sit out the second leg of Golden State's back-to-back set, and Dennis Schroder (off the injury report) should see big minutes for the Warriors' depleted backcourt. Buddy Hield and Moses Moody (off the injury report) could also pick up some extra minutes.
Schroder is available to play after being considered questionable on the initial injury report. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, but the veteran point guard has offered little fantasy value since being traded to the Warriors.
