Stewart won't start Monday's game against the Jazz.

The big man will play in the second leg of this back-to-back set, though Zach Edey (ankle) will return to action and push Stewart to the bench. The 25-year-old is averaging 8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 19.5 minutes per contest in two regular-season appearances (one start) on the campaign.

Williams (back) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Williams was deemed probable Sunday due to left lower-back soreness, but he's been cleared to play and should see minutes off the bench in the Warriors' backcourt. He started against Phoenix on Saturday in a game where the Warriors rested several starters and posted 20 points with five assists, so he's likely to see a relatively voluminous role with the second unit.

Santos (knee) is available for Monday's game at Denver.

Santos will shed his questionable tag due to left knee tendinitis. He's expected to come off the bench after starting Saturday's loss to the Suns, per Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Bassey (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Bassey will play in his second consecutive contest after sitting out the first two outings of the season for Golden State. He posted 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks in just 13 minutes during Saturday's loss to Phoenix, and he should see limited minutes again with Draymond Green (back) returning to the lineup.

Stewart (ankle) is available for Monday's game at Utah.

Stewart will shed his questionable tag and suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Through two regular-season games (one start), he's averaging 8.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks across 19.5 minutes per contest.

Lopez (knee) is active for Monday's game against the Jazz.

After missing Sunday's contest against the Kings with a bone bruise in his right knee, Lopez will suit up for the second leg of the Grizzlies' back-to-back set. Even when he was healthy prior to the absence, the rookie first-rounder was not a part of the regular rotation for Memphis, and that will likely be the case again in Utah.

De Larrea went to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Heat with an apparent right ankle injury, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

De Larrea took a hard fall while trying to catch an inbound pass, and he hobbled to the locker room shortly after. He can be considered questionable to return at this time.

Hayes (shoulder) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Hayes will miss the second leg of this back-to-back due to right shoulder soreness after posting nine points, five rebounds, a steal and an assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Lakers. That means Kyle Filipowski and Mo Bamba are likely to handle a bigger role off the bench. Hayes' next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Thiero (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against Portland.

Thiero continues to miss time due to swelling in his left knee. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Wednesday against the Clippers.

Sheppard will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Hawks, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Sheppard drew the start Saturday in Fred VanVleet's absence, but the 22-year-old will retreat to the bench Monday with VanVleet back in action. Sheppard logged 16 minutes off the bench in the season opener, though he could see more minutes Monday with Marcus Smart (arm) ruled out.
