Santos ended with 13 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 134-114 victory over Denver.
Santos made the most of his opportunities offensively, missing just one field-goal attempt while finishing without a turnover. The forward remained in Golden State's starting lineup and provided a solid complementary scoring option alongside Stephen Curry and Yaxel Lendeborg. Although Santos has demonstrated the ability to contribute efficiently, his relatively modest usage limits his fantasy appeal outside deeper leagues.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Questionable to play Monday
Rotowire
Santos is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to left knee tendinitis.
Santos exited Saturday's 131-122 loss to the Suns with an undisclosed injury and did not return, and the questionable tag ahead of Monday's game is an issue for a Warriors team that doesn't have a lot of depth at forward at the moment. If Santos can't play Monday, and knowing that Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) remain out, Georges Niang and Gary Payton could be in line to see expanded roles versus Denver.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Scores 12 points, hauls in five boards
Rotowire
Santos finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and a steal across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 127-105 loss to the Lakers.
Santos opened the season in a starting role and provided respectable scoring and rebounding, but he did little in other categories in a game that was completely out of the Warriors' reach by the end of the third quarter. Santos should continue to see consistent minutes early in the season due to the absence of several players, including Jimmy Butler (knee), Moses Moody (knee), and Kristaps Porzingis (illness). However, his offensive involvement could remain inconsistent, and his fantasy ceiling may be limited unless he increases his defensive production or secures a larger role as the season progresses.

Warriors' Gui Santos: 'In the mix' for spot in starting lineup
Rotowire
Santos is "in the mix" for a spot in the starting lineup, Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Per head coach Steve Kerr, there will be "an open competition" for the three spots in the starting lineup alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Santos is coming off his best season with the Warriors in 2025-26. The 2022 No. 55 overall pick appeared in 68 regular-season games, including 30 starts, and averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists, all career highs, across 20.5 minutes per contest. While Santos could earn an opportunity to start come opening night, that may not last, considering Kerr has been known to change things up throughout any given season.

Warriors' Gui Santos: Focusing on training-camp prep
Rotowire
Santos won't play for Brazil during the FIBA World Cup qualifiers and is focusing on preparing for the Warriors' training camp, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

That choice keeps his attention on team preparation after he finished last season in a significant role, including 30 minutes in the Warriors' Play-In loss to Phoenix. With Jimmy Butler (knee) and Moses Moody (knee) rehabbing to start the 2026-27 season, Santos could reclaim a rotation spot right away, putting him on fantasy radars.
