With every team but one playing either three or four times in Week 8 (Dec. 15-21), the schedule isn't going to dictate how you set your lineup too much. However, the Warriors' two-game schedule should lead Fantasy owners to avoid some of Golden State's biggest contributors, a shame, given how well they have played, overall.  

Guard Klay Thompson and forward Draymond Green have both emerged as must-start Fantasy options in category-based leagues. Both players have thrived in Steve Kerr's revamped offense, posting improved numbers across the board. However, with just two games on the schedule for Week 8, including tough matchups against the Grizzlies and Thunder, you are probably best served steering clear.

Moving forward, Thompson should be a no-doubt starting option in all formats, but Green's value is a bit cloudier. David Lee is going to return at some point, and though Green is almost certainly going to remain in the starting lineup, there's still some questions about how much Lee will cut into his role. Selling high on Green might not be a bad idea at this point in the season.
