Post is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to right foot injury management.

After he posted a career-high 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt) and three blocks over 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks, the Warriors are thinking about holding Post out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Draymond Green (back), who's expected to play Monday, and Kristaps Porzingis would be in line to share the center minutes if Post joins Al Horford (calf) on the sidelines.

Porzingis (illness) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Porzingis is ready to play during the second half of this back-to-back set while the Warriors continue to manage his workload. Over his first four appearances for Golden State, the star big man has averaged 14.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 blocks in 20.8 minutes per game.

Williams (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against Brooklyn.

Williams returned from a one-game absence Sunday against the 76ers and finished with six points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in 20 minutes. He may be held out for injury maintenance Monday, and if that happens, Sidy Cissoko could become more involved for Portland.

Olbrich (calf) is probable for Monday's game against Memphis.

Olbrich is typically an emergency depth option for the Bulls with an average of 5.6 minutes over his last five appearances. Despite all of Chicago's injuries, Olbrich isn't guaranteed playing time Monday, even if he gets the green light.

Gafford (illness) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

After resting Friday against Cleveland, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, Gafford was expected to return to action for Sunday's rematch versus the Cavaliers, but he missed that contest due to an illness. The veteran center remains under the weather and is expected to miss the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set, which should allow Marvin Bagley to see an increased role. However, the Mavericks started a small lineup Sunday, with Cooper Flagg, Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington in the frontcourt.

Richards has lower back tightness and is probable for Monday's game versus Memphis.

Richards was a late addition to the injury report, but he intends to play through this minor setback. Over his last six games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 26.2 minutes per contest.

Clingan finished Sunday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers with 11 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 28 minutes.

Clingan's shooting percentages remain subpar for a big man, as he's made just 46.3 percent of his field goals in seven outings since the beginning of March. However, he's going to remain valuable in fantasy as long as he can crash the boards and be a disruptive presence on defense. While Clingan might be better suited to make a bigger impact in category-based leagues, he's still worthy of a roster spot across all formats. He's averaging 13.1 points, 12.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.6 blocks per game in seven March appearances.

Post had 22 points (9-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 35 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks.

With the Warriors extremely shorthanded, Post returned to the starting lineup Sunday after coming off the bench in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves. Even though he had the assignment of dealing with Karl-Anthony Towns, who posted a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double, Post still had a strong scoring line and delivered a new career-high mark in points while hitting the 20-point threshold for the first time this season. Post has scored in double digits in his last five starts. He could be a player worth keeping close tabs on, although his playing time will be tied to the availability of Draymond Green (back), Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (calf).

Towns provided 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 victory over Golden State.

Towns returned to his regular starting role after a one-game absence Friday against Indiana due to bilateral knee soreness. He didn't miss a beat and delivered another strong performance. This was Towns' seventh double-double in eight appearances this month, averaging 20.6 points, 12.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game while shooting an impressive 61.9 percent from the floor.

Kornet is out for Monday's game against the Clippers due to right knee soreness.

Knee soreness seems to be a new issue for Kornet, presumably stemming from Saturday's game against the Hornets. Kelly Olynyk figures to serve as backup center to Victor Wembanyama while Kornet is sidelined.
