Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It appears Payton has been cleared to play after sitting out of Saturday's contest. His return won't have a huge impact on the team, but it does help them. Moses Moody figures to have less of a role with Payton back in the mix. Also, Lester Quinones will likely fall completely out of the rotation.
Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody (knee) is considered probable to play on Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. The third-year combo guard has stepped into a bigger role lately, especially while Stephen Curry (ankle) is sidelined for a couple of games. Moody has been receiving 24.1 minutes per contest over the last seven games and started in four of those. During that span, he's averaged 10.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals, 1.0 turnovers, and 1.1 made threes per game. Moody makes a good streaming option in deeper leagues for fantasy managers who need a handful of points, threes, and rebounds.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) has been listed as probable for the contest against the San Antonio Spurs. His appearance on the injury report seems to be more of a formality since he hasn't missed a game since mid-January. The Warriors will need all of their pieces in place while Stephen Curry (ankle) has to miss a couple of games. Green's playmaking and defensive abilities will be much-needed and his fantasy value will be temporarily increased until Curry returns. Combine that with a game against the San Antonio Spurs and that could mean a big offensive night if the shooters get into any kind of rhythm.
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Cameron Payne will join the starting unit for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, replacing Buddy Hield. The veteran is getting his third start in four games after previously filling in for Kyle Lowry and Nicolas Batum. He starts on the backcourt alongside Lowry this time, with Hield set to lead the second unit. Together with his time in Milwaukee, Payne has made five starts across the season, amassing a respectable 14.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in the role. Hield began the campaign as a bench piece in Indiana, so the role isn't anything new for him, and he should still get plenty of action off the pine.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) has been added to the injury report as questionable ahead of Sunday's battle against the Lakers. He's landed on the injury list with right shoulder pain. Anderson has started the last two games for Minnesota following Karl-Anthony Towns' (knee) exit from the lineup. He struggled in his first opportunity but did well in the second game, posting 10 points, three rebounds, five assists, and one steal. Naz Reid has already stepped into a bigger role without Towns and would benefit further from Anderson's absence, especially with Rudy Gobert (hamstring) also in danger of missing Sunday's game. The frontcourt injuries also boost Jaden McDaniels' fantasy stock. He's just had his second 40-minute outing of the month.
