Butler posted 19 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-91 win over the Bulls.
With the Warriors up big for most of this game, Butler took on more of a facilitator role in the offense. He finished with a plus/minus rating of plus-29 and helped Golden State earn its second straight victory. The Warriors have now won 15 of their past 17 meetings with the Bulls.

Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Snatches two steals in win
Rotowire
Melton closed Sunday's 123-91 win over the Bulls with 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 17 minutes.
Melton looked great in his second game of the season, bringing tough energy on defense and he wasn't shy about getting up his shot. Melton spent time operating as the Warriors' primary playmaker in the second unit, so it looks like he'll have a sizable role with the Warriors. He's on the radar in deep leagues.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Tallies three swipes in win
Rotowire
Payton provided six points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three steals and one assist across 27 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 victory over Cleveland.
After logging just three minutes in Thursday's loss to Philadelphia, Payton saw increased playing time with multiple key contributors sidelined. While he struggled on find his rhythm on the offensive end, the 33-year-old recorded a game- and season-high three steals. The veteran swingman has seen 20-plus minutes in three of the team's last four games, averaging 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 20.5 minutes per contest during that span.
Santos provided 14 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 victory over the Cavaliers.
The 23-year-old got to the charity stripe often and provided a spark off the bench, finishing as Golden State's second-leading scorer behind Pat Spencer (19). Although Santos was efficient from downtown and set a new season high in scoring, his 14 points marked his first outing in double figures across 17 regular-season appearances. The third-year forward hasn't been a consistent part of the Warriors' rotation of late, and he isn't guaranteed to see the floor when the team is at full strength.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Shooting woes in start
Rotowire
Kuminga amassed four points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 22 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 victory over the Cavaliers.
With Jimmy Butler (knee) and multiple other key contributors sidelined, Kuminga got the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 11. However, the 23-year-old forward failed to get into a rhythm on the offensive end, finishing with single-digit points for a fifth consecutive appearance. On a more positive note, he grabbed at least six boards for a third straight game. In three appearances to kick off December, Kuminga has averaged 7.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 25.0 percent from the field in 19.3 minutes per contest.
Spencer supplied 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 win over Cleveland.
With Golden State missing several key players, Spencer got the starting nod for the first time in his career and made the most of his opportunity. The two-way player delivered an efficient performance en route to a team- and career-high 19 points. He also dished out a game-high seven assists. The 29-year-old has scored in double figures in three consecutive contests, averaging 17.3 points, 5.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 24.7 minutes per game during that span.
