Post is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to bilateral foot soreness.

Post could sit out the second half of Golden State's back-to-back set Tuesday. Regardless of Post's status, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are in line to share the center minutes Tuesday.

Melton is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls due to left adductor soreness.

After Monday's loss to Utah, head coach Steve Kerr said Melton was limited to 20 minutes so that he could play Tuesday. However, while Melton had previously sat out one half of back-to-back sets due to left knee injury maintenance, he's now on the Warriors' injury report with a new health concern. The questionable tag implies that Melton could still play Tuesday, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Warriors ultimately erred on the side of caution and held him out.

Curry (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

The Warriors are holding Curry out due to left sciatic nerve irritation injury management. The expectation is that the veteran guard will return Friday, when the Warriors take on the Timberwolves.

Moody (wrist) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Moody's next chance to finish a four-game absence with a sprained right wrist comes Friday, when the Warriors face the Timberwolves. The swingman's absence should allow Pat Spencer and Will Richard to see more playing time Tuesday.

Green (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Green could miss the second leg of this back-to-back set for injury maintenance related to a lower-back issue. During Monday's loss to Utah, Green finished with six points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and 11 assists in 32 minutes.

Payton (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Payton is dealing with a minor left ankle issue that he appears likely to play through. Over his last five games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals.

Richard (ankle) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

Richard is ready to end a four-game absence with a right ankle sprain Tuesday. Over his last five appearances, the rookie has averaged 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.1 minutes per game.

Horford (toe) will play Tuesday against the Bulls.

After missing the front end of this back-to-back set, Horford is all set to reprise his usual role. Quinten Post and Malevy Leons are expected to see reduced minutes as a result.

Porzingis (illness) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.

As expected, Porzingis will be back in action for the second leg of this back-to-back set after getting a maintenance day Monday. Look for him to play a modest role as the Warriors build him up slowly.

Sanders (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Clippers' 126-118 win over the Knicks.

With head coach Tyronn Lue cutting his rotation down from 10 to nine men Monday, Sanders ended up being the odd man out. Sanders had appeared in each of the previous seven games and shot 58.3 percent from the field in 19.4 minutes per contest over that stretch, but it's difficult to see his continuing to receive steady playing time now that Darius Garland has been cleared to play 30-plus minutes. Regaining a spot in the rotation will only become more difficult for Sanders once John Collins (neck) receives the green light to return.
