Hits for 18 in Friday's loss
Melton amassed 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 131-124 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
The 28-year-old guard scored in double figures for a fourth straight games as he continues to be a productive part of the Warriors' second unit. Through 13 games in January, Melton averaged 14.7 points, 3.2 boards, 2.2 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.3 steals in 22.5 minutes, but his court time and usage could get a boost to begin February if Stephen Curry (knee) ends up missing any time.

Off injury report
Melton (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis
Melton sat out Monday's loss to Minnesota -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to left knee injury management. However, he's set to return to action Wednesday. The 27-year-old guard has played at least 20 minutes in five straight appearances, averaging 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 21.6 minutes per tilt over that stretch.

Will play Sunday, not Monday
Melton (knee) is available for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Analysis
Melton popped up on the injury report due to left knee injury management, but he will be available for Sunday's game that was postponed from Saturday. He scored 22 points in 23 minutes during the Warriors' 123-115 loss to the Mavericks on Thursday, which was Golden State's second game without Jimmy Butler (knee -- ACL). Melton will not play in the second-leg of Golden State's back-to-back set Monday in a rematch against Minnesota, per Jack.
