Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Requests trade out of Golden State
Rotowire
Kuminga officially requested a trade from the Warriors on Thursday, Anthony Slater and Shams Charania of ESPN.com report.
Due to the terms of the contract he signed in the offseason, Kuminga wasn't eligible to be traded until Thursday, so his decision to formally demand a trade comes as little surprise. Kuminga fell out of the Golden State's rotation in early December and hasn't received any minutes in 16 of the team's past 17 games. Kuminga's contract contains a $24.3 million team option for the 2026-27 season, which means he can be viewed as an expiring deal. According to league sources, the Kings and Mavericks are among the teams that have shown real interest in acquiring the 23-year-old forward, while several other clubs are also expected to be in the mix.
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' Quinten Post: Diminished role continues
Rotowire
Post chipped in three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt) and one assist over 14 minutes during Tuesday's 119-97 win over the Trail Blazers.
Post saw fewer minutes than veteran backup Al Horford, and the former's playing time is becoming a discouraging trend. Post has failed to crack the 20-minute mark in five straight games, so fantasy managers can likely find better options at center for the time being.
Warriors' Moses Moody: Posts 14 points in blowout loss
Rotowire
Moody accumulated 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 119-97 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Moody got back to double-digit scoring after a five-game drought. Moody's starting tenure this season has been a mixed bag, although he's occasionally shown up with big numbers when there's been a key absence. Although the fifth-year pro is on pace to post career-high numbers, he's averaging 10.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists over 39 games.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Pops for 23 points from bench
Rotowire
Melton ended with 23 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 119-97 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Melton logged his fifth double-digit scoring performance over his past six games, and one of those appearances also garnered a 20-plus point performance. His swift work in only 18 minutes was impressive, and his efforts have been a difference-maker during the Warriors' recent 4-2 run. He's averaged 15.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals over the past six games.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Drops 11 dimes in victory
Rotowire
Curry registered seven points (2-9 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 119-97 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Curry couldn't get many shots to fall, so he leaned on his passing skills to ensure Golden State's success. Jimmy Butler was on the other end of some of those passes, but Curry was dishing the ball out to everyone who had an opening. He logged only 25 minutes and was pulled early with the game well in hand, so the muted scoring performance shouldn't be concerning for fantasy managers.
Warriors' Draymond Green: Pulls down nine boards Sunday
Rotowire
Green contributed five points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 loss to the Hawks.
Despite a lack of strong scoring, Green continues to find ways to chip in for fantasy managers. The veteran forward has averaged 8.8 points, 6.6 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 25.9 minutes per contest through five games this month thus far, shooting 45.7 percent from the floor.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Pours in 30 points
Rotowire
Butler finished with 30 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 loss to Atlanta.
Butler and Stephen Curry carried the offensive load for Golden State on Sunday, each reaching the 30-point mark and combining for more than half of the team's scoring in a double-digit loss. Butler, averaging 19.9 points through 35 games, has reached 30 points four times this season and continues to be an all-around contributor through the ebbs and flows of the Warriors' season.
Warriors' Stephen Curry: Drops 31 points vs. Atlanta
Rotowire
Curry recorded 31 points (11-21 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five assists and three rebounds over 33 minutes during the Warriors' 124-111 loss to the Hawks on Sunday.
Curry and Jimmy Butler combined for 61 of the Warriors' 111 points Sunday, though De'Anthony Melton (10 points) was the only other Golden State player to score in double digits. Curry was able to reach 30-plus points despite struggling from beyond the arc, and he has scored 30 or more points in three of his last five games. Over that five-game span, he has averaged 29.4 points, 6.6 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 4.4 threes and 1.0 steals over 33.3 minutes per game.

Warriors' Seth Curry: To be re-evaluated in two weeks
Rotowire
The Warriors announced Sunday that Curry is making progress in his recovery from a sciatic nerve issue and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Curry hasn't played since Dec. 4 but is working with the team's training staff daily during his recovery process. The veteran sharpshooter will aim to return by late January, though his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the Golden State rotation.
Warriors' Gary Payton: Near double-double in return
Rotowire
Payton provided 12 points (6-7 FG), nine rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Friday's 137-103 victory over Sacramento.
Payton returned Friday from a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, and the 10th-year pro finished as the Warriors' leading rebounder, finishing one board shy from logging his second double-double of the season. Payton has scored in double digits in each of his last three outings, averaging 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists while connecting on 69.2 percent of his field-goal attempts over that span.
