Held to five points on nine shots
Melton closed with five points (2-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 120-99 loss to the Celtics.
Analyse
Melton couldn't get anything going against the Celtics' No. 1-rated defense, and he's headed for another tough matchup Friday against the Pistons, who rank in the top three in defensive efficiency. That game will also be the first of a back-to-back set, so there's a chance Melton will get hit with a maintenance day.

Strong performance in win
Melton closed with 27 points (12-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 30 minutes in Monday's 125-117 victory over the Wizards.
Analyse
After sitting out Sunday's loss to the Knicks for left knee injury management, Melton returned with force Monday, scoring 27 points in a winning effort. Impressively, the guard produced that scoring output without converting a three-pointer, an aberration from the 2.9 made threes he averaged in his first eight 20-plus point performances of the season. Melton has now eclipsed the 20-point mark in three of his past four appearances.

Removed from injury report
Melton (knee) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Wizards.
Analyse
After sitting out Sunday's loss to the Knicks, Melton is good to go for the second part of this back-to-back. The 27-year-old is worth deploying in most fantasy leagues, as Melton has averaged 17.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.4 minutes per game over his last nine contests.

Expected to return Monday
Melton (knee) is expected to play in Monday's game against the Wizards, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analyse
Melton sat out of Sunday's game as he continues to manage a left knee injury, but head coach Steve Kerr stated pregame that he expects Melton to be available Monday. Over his last five appearances, Melton is averaging 14.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 25.0 minutes per contest.

Sitting out Sunday
Melton is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to left knee injury management.
Analyse
Melton is sitting out the first half of this back-to-back set. The likes of Pat Spencer, Will Richard and Gary Payton could all see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues for the depleted Warriors on Sunday.
14. März 2026
Available to play
Melton (thigh) is available for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Analyse
Melton is back after a one-game absence, which will likely shift Will Richard back to the second unit. Melton is averaging 13.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 triples and 1.6 steals per game on the season.
