Won't return Monday
Moody carried a probable designation while dealing with left knee soreness leading up to his clearance for Monday's game, and the issue appears to have flared up to the point of removing him from the contest. It's a troubling development for the 21-year-old, who also had a multi-week absence due to left calf soreness in January.

Elevated Monday
Santos will be available for Monday's game against the Knicks, but it's unclear if he'll see any playing time. With injuries and suspensions depleting Golden State's roster, Santos carved out a role in early February, but since then, he's appeared in just six of the last 17 games, playing double-digit minutes only once during that stretch.

Thrives in second-unit role
Thompson has been alternating between the starting lineup and the second unit in recent days, but he should stay as a bench option if Stephen Curry stays healthy, as Steve Kerr wants Thompson to provide a scoring punch off the bench. That was exactly the case Saturday, as Thompson posted 25 or more points for a third consecutive game off the bench. He's averaging 20.3 points per contest when deployed with the second unit this season.
