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.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
Santos amassed four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists and two steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 148-106 win over San Antonio.
Although he struggled shooting the ball, Santos made a strong impact on the game elsewhere. Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) left this game early, meaning Santos could see more run in the short term. He's only worth monitoring in very deep leagues, however, as his usage rate is very low.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Makes most of minutes
Rotowire
Santos registered 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and three rebounds over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 112-86 loss to the Heat.
Even though Santos' minutes and role off the bench have been inconsistent in recent weeks, there's no question he made the most of his minutes in this one while making his presence felt as a shooter. Santos has scored in double digits just four times since the All-Star break, though, so it's hard to rely on him for consistent fantasy production, especially considering he has a relatively minor role off the bench in the current rotation.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Struggles in spot start
Rotowire
Santos recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 21 minutes during Saturday's 97-94 win over the Knicks.
Santos moved into the starting lineup, with Draymond Green shifting to the center spot, resulting in Quinten Post sliding to the bench. Despite the promotion, Santos struggled to deliver anything of note, tallying single-digit points for the fifth time in the past seven games. While he has managed to carve out a somewhat consistent role for himself, Santos remains more of a placeholder than a valuable piece.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Questionable to play Saturday
Rotowire
Santos (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Santos was unable to play in Thursday's 120-112 loss to the Lakers due to left patella tendinitis, and the injury has put him in jeopardy of missing Saturday's contest. Santos has averaged 5.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 16.7 minutes per game since the beginning of January. Still, it's unclear how his role in the Warriors' rotation will change following Golden State's acquisition of Jimmy Butler on Wednesday.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Listed as questionable for Thursday

Santos (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Santos sat out the second half of Wednesday's loss to Utah with this injury, but he's considered day-to-day. With Jimmy Butler not available to make his Golden State debut, Pat Spencer and Jackson Rowe could pick up a few minutes if Santos can't give it a go.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Early exit Wednesday
Rotowire
Santos did not play in the second half of Wednesday's 131-128 loss to Utah due to left patella tendinitis, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Santos logged four points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) before exiting Wednesday. Considering the contest was the first leg of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising to see Santos sit Thursday against the Lakers. If that's the case, Pat Spencer and Jackson Rowe could see more minutes.
Santos provided 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 131-106 victory over the Bulls.
Santos had one of his most efficient performances of the season and scored in double digits for the fourth time across his last eight outings. The Brazilian has recently experienced a more significant role off the bench and has taken full advantage of the opportunity. Over that eight-game stretch, Santos is averaging 8.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists while logging 21.0 minutes per game.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Season-best effort on glass
Rotowire
Santos produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 win over the Timberwolves.
The second-year forward made his first career start with Draymond Green (illness), Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) and Kyle Anderson (hamstring) all sidelined, and while Santos didn't make a significant impact, he did pull down a season high in rebounds. Green shouldn't be out long, but there should still be a substantial role for Santos in the Golden State frontcourt when he returns to the bench -- he's played more than 20 minutes in three of the last four games, averaging 7.3 points, 4.5 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals during that span while shooting 52.6 percent from the floor and 53.8 percent (7-for-13) from long distance.

Warriors' Gui Santos: First career start Wednesday
Rotowire
Santos will start in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
It'll be the first career start for Santos, who has come off the bench in each of his 38 appearances since 2023-24. The 22-year-old has reached double figures in scoring in two of his last three games, but it's hard to imagine the Warriors making this a long-term move once the team is healthier. That said, Santos will have a chance to return enhanced fantasy value Wednesday.

Rotowire
Santos had 13 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Thursday's 107-104 victory over the Pistons.
Santos had his best game of the season for the Warriors during Thursday's win against Detroit. With Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga out, Santos saw a significant boost in minutes, playing 26 to help shoulder the load. The 22-year-old made the best of those minutes with an efficient shooting night, hitting four three-pointers in six attempts while grabbing five rebounds and two steals.
