Cryer (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Cryer was held out Monday against Washington while battling a left hamstring issue, but he'll have a chance to return for Wednesday's game. The Warriors should have another update on his availability in Boston closer to tipoff.

Moody (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Moody will miss an eighth consecutive contest due to a right wrist sprain, and his next opportunity to play will come Friday in Detroit. The 23-year-old forward has been cleared for on-court work and is traveling with the team, though it's not a positive sign that he continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. With Moody sidelined, Gary Payton (lower leg), Malevy Leons and Will Richard are candidates to see increased minutes.

Payton is probable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a left tibial contusion.

The issue doesn't sound to be severe enough to stop Payton from playing Wednesday. The guard has moved into a more prominent role of late, averaging 13.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.9 steals in 23.0 minutes per contest over his last eight games.

Post (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Post was unable to take the floor Monday against Golden State due to a right foot injury. However, he's been upgraded to questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash, meaning he should at least have a chance to prove his health during shootaround and pregame warmups.

Krejci (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

Krejci was held out of Monday's matchup due to a left calf issue, and he's not yet been able to shake off the injury. It'll be worth keeping a close eye on his status leading up to tipoff, as the team should have another update closer to game time.

Green (coach's decision) went unused Monday in the Rockets' 100-92 loss to the Lakers.

Green had received playing time in each of the Rockets' previous four games, but even though Alperen Sengun (back) remained out Monday, the former was unable to crack head coach Ime Udoka's rotation. Sengun is listed as available for Wednesday's rematch with the Lakers, so Green's brief window to claim a spot in the second unit appears to have closed.

Saraf is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to left foot soreness.

The questionable tag suggests that Saraf is day-to-day. Over his last eight contests, he's been more involved with averages of 7.9 points, 4.1 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 21.9 minutes per contest.

Mann is probable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to left Achilles soreness.

Mann is likely to end a one-game absence due to the issue. The veteran swingman had played fewer than 20 minutes in his prior two contests before getting injured, so he could be difficult to trust as a streaming option in fantasy leagues.

Vanderbilt (coach's decision) didn't receive any playing time Monday in the Lakers' 100-92 win over the Rockets.

After a recent stretch in which he appeared in five straight games and averaged 12.0 minutes, Vanderbilt has now been left out of head coach JJ Redick's rotation for the past two contests. The Lakers seem content to lean on Jaxson Hayes and Rui Hachimura to fill out minutes in the frontcourt when starters LeBron James and Deandre Ayton are off the court.

Traore has a right eye abrasion and is probable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Traore has played a modest role for the Nets in recent weeks. Over his last seven outings, he's shooting 33.9 percent from the field with 7.7 points and 3.0 assists in 19.3 minutes per contest.
