Santos closed with 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 114-113 victory over the Grizzlies.
Santos continues to make a strong case as a fantasy add. Over his last four games, he actually leads the team in nine-category fantasy value with 15.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Hits for season-high 18 in win
Rotowire
Santos recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 101-97 victory over the Suns.
Making his fourth start in the last seven games, Santos saw a season-high workload and turned it into a season high in points, while his seven assists were a career high. The third-year forward has scored in double digits in five straight games (three starts), averaging 14.8 points, 4.0 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks in 27.0 minutes over that stretch while shooting 64.4 percent from the floor and 47.8 percent (11-for-23) from beyond the arc. Santos' role in the rotation could shrink once Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is cleared to make his Warriors debut, however.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Leads starters with 13 points
Rotowire
Santos provided 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 113-94 loss to the 76ers.
Santos earned a starting nod due to Stephen Curry (knee) being sidelined, and the former finished the game tied with Pat Spencer for the team's highest scoring total. The first unit was anemic without Curry's involvement, illustrating the Warriors' dependence on the All-Star's production. Santos' fantasy value is limited at present, but he'll jump to the forefront if the Warriors get hit with more injuries.

Rotowire
Santos is probable for Friday's game against the Pistons due to a bruised right calf.
Santos put together a strong 16-point performance Wednesday against the Jazz but evidently picked up a calf injury along the way. Even so, he appears on track to take the court Friday evening, barring any kind of setback.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Hits for season-high 16 in win
Rotowire
Santos ended Wednesday's 140-124 win over Utah with 16 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 22 minutes off the bench.
The 16 points were a season high for the third-year forward. Santos has quietly drained at least one three-pointer in eight straight appearances (two starts), shooting 41.7 percent (10-for-24) from long distance while averaging 7.0 points, 3.8 boards, 2.4 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in only 17.9 minutes as he pushes for a more consistent spot in the rotation after Jimmy Butler (knee) was lost for the season.

Rotowire
Santos had 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 108-83 loss to Minnesota.
Golden State struggled to find production with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined, but Santos' performance was definitely encouraging. The Warriors need multiple players to step up as the team moves forward without Jimmy Butler (knee), and Santos could fill a big piece of the puzzle as the Warriors struggle to stay relevant.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Santos won't start against the Timberwolves on Sunday, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Al Horford will step into the starting five in the front end of this back-to-back set, pushing Santos to the second unit. Over eight outings off the bench so far this month, the 23-year-old forward has averaged 3.6 points, 2.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Gui Santos: No major spike in PT sans Butler
Rotowire
Santos (ankle) tallied three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two assists across 15 minutes in Tuesday's 145-127 loss to the Raptors.
Santos was back in action following a two-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, but he didn't see any major boost in playing time even though the Warriors were without Jimmy Butler (knee), who will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL in Monday's win over the Heat. Instead, the biggest beneficiary of Butler's absence was Jonathan Kuminga (20 points, five rebounds in 21 minutes), who made his first appearance since the calendar flipped to 2026 after he sat out the last several games in coach's decisions.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Chance to return Tuesday
Rotowire
Head coach Steve Kerr said Monday that he's hopeful Santos (ankle) will return against the Raptors on Tuesday, Joseph Dycus of The Mercury News reports.
Santos sustained a left ankle sprain in Thursday's loss to the Knicks and missed Monday's win over Miami. However, he could return Tuesday and would be in line for increased playing time if Jimmy Butler (knee) is forced to miss time. Until the Warriors release their official injury report, Santos should be considered questionable to face Toronto.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Ruled out with ankle sprain
Rotowire
Santos won't play in Saturday's game against the Hornets due to a sprained left ankle, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Santos suffered the injury during the first quarter of Thursday's 126-113 win over the Knicks, and he's likely to miss more than just one contest. The forward's absence opens up a few extra minutes for the likes of Moses Moody, De'Anthony Melton and Brandin Podziemski to pick up Saturday.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Busy off bench in rout
Rotowire
Santos finished with six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and four steals over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 119-97 win over Portland.
The six dimes and four swipes are both season highs for Santos, who saw a bump in minutes amid Tuesday's rout. The forward has logged at least 20 minutes just twice through seven games in January, so he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Paces bench in win
Rotowire
Santos provided 14 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 victory over the Cavaliers.
The 23-year-old got to the charity stripe often and provided a spark off the bench, finishing as Golden State's second-leading scorer behind Pat Spencer (19). Although Santos was efficient from downtown and set a new season high in scoring, his 14 points marked his first outing in double figures across 17 regular-season appearances. The third-year forward hasn't been a consistent part of the Warriors' rotation of late, and he isn't guaranteed to see the floor when the team is at full strength.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Slides back to bench
Rotowire
Santos isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against Portland.
With the Warriors down multiple starters for the second night of a back-to-back set, Santos made a spot start Wednesday, but he'll return to the second unit Friday. The 23-year-old played 18 minutes as a starter, and he hadn't seen more than 12 minutes in a game previously.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Santos is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Miami, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Santos will make his first start of the campaign Wednesday, stepping into the first unit due to the absences of Jimmy Butler (back), Draymond Green (illness), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Al Horford (toe). Santos hasn't logged more than 12 minutes in a game this season.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Quiet outing in preseason finale
Rotowire
Santos added seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, an assist and a steal over 23 minutes in Friday's 106-103 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Despite tying with Buddy Hield to lead the bench unit in minutes played, Santos did not capitalize on the opportunity, despite having an efficient outing. Santos will likely be backing up Draymond Green at the power forward position to start the season but will have to contend with Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton and Buddy Hield for playing time.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Staying in Golden State
Rotowire
The Warriors exercised Santos' $2.2 million team option Sunday.
Santos saw his playing time increase significantly at the start of the new year. He finished the 2024-25 regular season averaging 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 13.6 minutes per game in 56 contests (two starts). The 2022 second-round pick will likely be on the Warriors' summer league squad and will look to play well enough to earn a larger role in the rotation for the 2025-26 campaign.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Sees 16 minutes in defeat
Rotowire
Santos notched two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one block across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
After barely touching the floor in the postseason prior to Wednesday, coach Steve Kerr mixed things up and gave Santos a shot, but he wasn't able to make much noise. As for the regular season, Santos was mostly an end-of-bench rotation player, making 56 appearances with 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists on 45.8 percent shooting in 13.6 minutes per contest. The Warriors hold a $2.2 million option on Santos for 2025-26.
