De'Anthony Melton SG | GS
Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Removed from injury report
Melton (knee) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Wizards.
After sitting out Sunday's loss to the Knicks, Melton is good to go for the second part of this back-to-back. The 27-year-old is worth deploying in most fantasy leagues, as Melton has averaged 17.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per game over his last nine contests.

Warriors' Draymond Green: Listed as probable
Green (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Wizards.
Green is on track to return from a two-game absence after battling a nagging back issue. Across his last five appearances, the veteran has averaged 9.6 points, 6.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Absent from injury report
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.

L.J. Cryer PG | GS
Warriors' LJ Cryer: Iffy for Monday
Cryer (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against Washington.
Cryer may be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set for injury management. With De'Anthony Melton back in action, Cryer may not be very involved if he gets the green light to suit up.

Vit Krejci SF | POR
Trail Blazers' Vit Krejci: Unlikely to play Monday
Krejci is listed doubtful for Monday's game against the Nets due to a left calf contusion.
Krejci is a minor rotation player for Portland who is averaging 13.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances, so his expected absence Monday won't carry many fantasy implications. If Krejci ends up sitting out, a spot in the rotation could reopen for Kris Murray, who didn't play in a coach's decision in Sunday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers.

Robert Williams III C | POR
Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable for Monday
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.

Caleb Martin SF | DAL
Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Questionable with new injury
Martin is listed questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to right plantar fascia soreness.
Martin had been listed as probable heading into Sunday's matchup with the Cavaliers due to a finger injury, but he ended up suiting up and logged eight minutes in Dallas' 130-120 win. The veteran forward is now tending to a new health concern heading into the second leg of a back-to-back set, making his status worth monitoring leading up to the 8 p.m. ET tipoff.

Daniel Gafford C | DAL
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Doubtful for Monday
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.
