Golden State Warriors forward/center Al Horford (back) is expected to miss at least another week due to right sciatic nerve irritation, keeping the veteran sidelined with no firm return date. Horford has played only once over the last ten games, removing him from short-term fantasy consideration outside of very deep formats. His continued absence has stabilized the frontcourt rotation, as Quinten Post continues to start and log steady minutes. Post logged nine points and 11 rebounds in 27 minutes last game, offering low-end value for boards. Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green continue to anchor closing lineups.

Golden State Warriors guard Seth Curry (glute) has been ruled out Saturday against Phoenix due to left glute injury management, though his absence carries minimal fantasy impact. The veteran shooter has played sparingly this season, averaging 7.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 16.0 minutes per game, keeping him off the standard-league radar. The guard rotation is tight, with Brandin Podziemski, De'Anthony Melton, Buddy Hield, and Pat Spencer all in the mix, limiting streaming appeal. Stephen Curry continues to anchor usage after a 48-point outing, while Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green remain locked into closing roles.

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson (trunk) is questionable Saturday against Houston after missing Thursday with a right trunk contusion. Watson had locked in a starting role prior to the injury, averaging 14.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.6 three-pointers, and 1.1 blocks in 30.2 minutes across his previous 14 starts. His availability carries real fantasy weight. If sidelined again, Bruce Brown and Spencer Jones pick up wing minutes, with Brown offering the safer short-term stream. Watson is still worth holding when active given his two-way contributions.

Orlando Magic forward Tristan da Silva (shoulder) is questionable Saturday against Utah due to a right shoulder contusion and risks missing a second straight game. The second-year forward has averaged 5.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 0.6 assists in 21.6 minutes over his last five, limiting his appeal to deeper formats when active. His potential absence carries more streaming value elsewhere. If da Silva and Jonathan Isaac (hip) sit, Jett Howard becomes a viable short-term add after posting 12 points and six rebounds in 29 minutes, while Anthony Black's role remains secure.
