Warriors' Gui Santos: Shines with 27-point performance
Rotowire
Santos supplied 27 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 131-126 victory over the Wizards.
The Brazilian forward is one of several players who have had to step up offensively due to the absences of Stephen Curry (knee) and Jimmy Butler (knee). Santos is making the three-year, $15 million deal he signed with Golden State earlier this season look like an absolute bargain based on his recent performances. He's averaging 16.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game across 19 appearances since the All-Star break. He's also coming off back-to-back games in which he's surpassed the 25-point plateau.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Pours in career-high 31 in win
Rotowire
Santos logged 31 points (11-16 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 109-106 win over the Nets.
The 31 points were a career high for the third-year forward. Santos has scored in double digits in 16 of 18 games since the All-Star break, averaging 15.7 points, 5.8 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.8 threes-pointers and 1.3 steals in 32.2 minutes over that stretch. He should continue to get extended run for the remainder of the season while the Warriors move forward without Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee).

Warriors' Gui Santos: Scores 20 points in loss
Rotowire
Santos notched 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks.
Santos came close to matching his season-best scoring mark of 22 points, established March 7 in a loss to the Thunder, and the Brazilian forward continues to leave his mark in an expanded role for the shorthanded Warriors. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his 12 games since the All-Star break, averaging 15.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 33.3 minutes per game. Santos is certainly making the most of his opportunity, but he could return to a bench role when the Warriors get healthier.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Another solid scoring performance
Rotowire
Santos registered 17 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 130-124 overtime loss to the Bulls.
Santos didn't have his best shooting performance, as he needed 19 shots to score 17 points, but fantasy managers will gladly overlook the inefficiency considering how good he's been of late. Santos has scored in double digits in all but one of his last 10 contests, a stretch in which he's averaging 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals across 33.2 minutes per contest.

Although Santos missed all but one of his seven three-point attempts, he provided solid secondary support in the defeat. He's rebuilding a streak of starting appearances after briefly hitting the bench, and he's played well during the latest stint, averaging 17.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.7 steals over three games.

Santos continues to deliver intriguing numbers, proving to be one of the more unexpected fantasy gems over the past month. In 12 appearances during that time, he has been a top-75 asset in standard leagues while averaging 14.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes per contest.

Santos logged 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during the Warriors' 129-101 loss to the Lakers on Saturday.
The Warriors struggled offensively during Saturday's loss, though Santos managed to lead the team in scoring on the same day he inked a three-year, $15 million contract extension with Golden State. The fourth-year pro has stepped into a larger role since the beginning of February and will wrap up the month having averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.5 steals over 30.0 minutes per game.

Rotowire
The Warriors signed Santos to a three-year, $15 million contract extension Saturday.
Santos is in the midst of a career year with the Warriors, so this news comes as no surprise.

He's been hot over his last 12 outings, posting averages of 15.0 points on 58.9 percent shooting from the field during that stretch.

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 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.

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.
