For the first time in his career, Podziemski was able to reach the 30-point mark. It wasn’t enough for Golden State to get the win, but it was an excellent performance for him. Podz is averaging career highs in points, assists and three-pointers per game, and he is wrapping up the season on a hot streak. Golden State will be the 10th seed in the West entering the play-in tournament next week, and Podz will need to stay hot if they want to make it to the playoffs.

Podziemski continues to score the basketball efficiently despite the Warriors’ struggles to win games. The third-year guard made almost all of his shots inside the three-point line on Thursday to tie a team-high in scoring. He didn’t compile many other stats, however, as the Warriors dropped their fourth game in the last five. They’ll face the Kings on Friday.

Podziemski has now scored at least 20 points in six of his last eight games. The 23-year-old guard continues to score despite the return of Stephen Curry, who is still limited to about 25 minutes per game. Podziemski has provided 11th-round per game value this season, which makes him a solid value considering his preseason ADP.

Podziemski, who made all five of his two-point attempts on Sunday, finished with a solid overall stat line. However, his usage took a hit, largely due to Stephen Curry’s return from a knee injury. After five straight games with a usage of 21.8 or higher, Podziemski’s usage against the Rockets was 16.7. While he still provided positive value in multiple categories, there’s no denying that Podz has a lower ceiling when Curry plays, even if he comes off the bench as he did on Sunday.

Podziemski, who shared the team lead in scoring with Gui Santos, has scored 20 points or more in five of his last six appearances. The Warriors’ guard has provided third-round value over the last two weeks, more than picking up the slack as the team remained without Stephen Curry (knee). Even if Curry returns on Sunday against the Rockets as expected, Podziemski’s role will be fine due to the Warriors’ need for offense. Plus, Curry’s playing time will be limited in his first game back.

Podziemski has scored 20 points or more in four consecutive games, the first time he’s done so this season. The Warriors’ guard finished with a complete stat line, and he has been a second-round player in eight-cat formats over the past week. With it unknown when Stephen Curry (knee) will return, Podziemski will remain one of the players relied on for increased offensive production in Golden State.

Since being held to five points in a loss to Atlanta last Saturday, Podz has been on a tear. Over their last three games, he has averaged 21.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.3 triples per game. That has contributed to Golden State winning three straight games, and it has come at a crucial time for fantasy managers. He’ll look to stay hot in their final game of the week, which comes against the Nuggets on Sunday.

Podziemski followed his balanced 20-point performance on Monday with another against Brooklyn. In the win, the third-year guard filled the stat sheet, offering notable scoring, team-best playmaking, and solid work on the glass from the guard position. He didn’t compile any stocks on Wednesday, but his effectiveness elsewhere was likely enough to leave fantasy managers feeling satisfied.

Podziemski delivered a well-rounded performance on Monday. In the win, he logged 40 minutes and shot the ball efficiently en route to his fifth 20-point performance of March. He also led all rebounders before coming away with his fourth double-double of the season. After some recent slippage, Monday’s final stat line is one that could leave fantasy managers encouraged and optimistic about what kind of production to expect from Podziemski in the near future.

Podziemski recorded a complete stat line on Friday, which helps compensate for the 15 points scored. After scoring 25 points in consecutive games, he’s tallied 15 or fewer in each of his last three. With Stephen Curry (knee) still out, the Warriors need more scoring from Podziemski. The upside is there; the question is whether he can meet those expectations.

Podziemski had 25 points for the second straight game. The 23-year-old guard has the skillset to contribute in other categories as well, which has led to him providing sixth-round per game value since the All-Star break. Podziemski has shown he’s worth rostering in standard leagues while Stephen Curry (knee) is still out.

After totaling 23 points on 8-of-18 shooting in his prior two appearances, Podziemski exceeded that number on Friday. Add in the rebounds and three-pointers, and this was a solid effort from the Warriors’ guard, even if he did not record any defensive stats. Since the All-Star break, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. With Stephen Curry (knee) out for at least one more week, Podz is worth picking up if he’s on the waiver wire in 12-team leagues.

While Podziemski missed all four of his free-throw attempts, he shot 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. The rebounds, assists and steals also helped compensate for the poor shooting at the charity stripe, but Podz has made just 63.2 percent of his attempts since the All-Star break. He’ll look to clean that up moving forward, starting with Tuesday’s game against the Bulls.

Podziemski finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line on Saturday, which should help compensate for the low field-goal percentage. Since the All-Star break, he has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. And over his last five games, which have coincided with a return to the starting lineup, Podziemski has averaged 18.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.8 three-pointers while shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 83.3 percent from the foul line.

Since returning to the Warriors’ starting lineup, Podziemski has scored at least 19 points in three of four games, surpassing 20 in two. He had an excellent night in Houston, finishing one rebound shy of a double-double while shooting over 50 percent from the field. The Warriors continue their road trip on Saturday in Oklahoma City, their final game of Week 19.

Monday’s game was a tale of two halves for Podziemski and the Warriors. Getting out to a fast start against a Clippers squad that played the night prior, Golden State led by as much as 17, and Podziemski scored 20 first-half points. The Clippers ramped up the defensive pressure after halftime, limiting Podz to two points and seemingly playing the entire half in transition because of their ability to force turnovers. Fantasy managers will certainly take Podziemski’s final stat line, but they were likely hoping for more offense after his stellar first half.

After coming off the bench in each of his last seven appearances, Podziemski was inserted into the Warriors’ starting lineup on Wednesday. While the shooting wasn’t great, the third-year guard offered solid value in the rebound and assist categories. If Podziemski continues to start over Pat Spencer (12/2/9/1/1 with two three-pointers in 32 minutes), that would raise his fantasy ceiling. However, the boost would not be significant, as Podz was already playing heavy minutes.

Two days after Podz turned in an 18/15/9 line, he recorded another monster double-double, though he didn’t supply as many assists. He set his career high for boards in two consecutive games. He has his issues as a scorer, but Podz has been producing at a high level in recent weeks with Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined. If he can keep this up for the rest of the season, he’ll make a big impact for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Podziemski was just one assist shy of a triple-double. The 22-year-old shooting guard was clutch with 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers in the fourth quarter alone. Podziemski came off the bench, but led the team in minutes with 37. He hasn’t shown that he can sustain this level play yet in his career, though it’d be a welcome sight for the Warriors if he can over the rest of this season.

While he wasn’t much of a factor in the Warriors’ 19-5 run to end Monday’s comeback victory, Podziemski was one of seven to reach double figures. Despite Stephen Curry’s absence with a knee injury, Podz has come off the bench in the last three games. The change to the lineup lowers Podziemski’s fantasy ceiling, but he remains a worthwhile hold in deeper leagues. The Warriors host the Spurs on Wednesday in their final game before the All-Star break.

Limited to 13 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Suns due to an illness, Podziemski played 33 off the bench on Saturday. The final stat line was solid, but most encouraging was the playing time. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, minutes should not be an issue for Podziemski as long as he’s healthy. So, fantasy managers who have rostered him for this long should continue to do so.

After an illness limited him to 13 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Suns, Podziemski is good to go for Saturday night. He’ll likely come off the bench again, but the Warriors will still need his offensive output with Stephen Curry (knee) unavailable.

Podziemski was dealing with an illness during Thursday’s win over the Suns, playing just 13 minutes. He’s on track to be available Saturday night, which may result in fewer minutes for Pat Spencer. However, with Stephen Curry (knee) out, Spencer will still figure prominently in the rotation, especially after scoring a career-high 20 points on Thursday.

Podziemski was one of the limited regular starters who was available to play in Monday’s game. In his 28 minutes, inefficient shooting limited his scoring production, but it was enough to get him into double figures on the evening. The third-year guard also contributed on the glass and was one of Golden State’s best distributors on Monday. He wasn’t at his best in this game, but he will have plenty of opportunities going forward to log some big stat lines.

After dropping a season-high 24 points in Monday’s win over the Heat, Podziemski was probably due to cool down. He moved into the starting lineup on Tuesday, and the overall stat line was modest. However, one mediocre performance as the fifth starter should not prompt fantasy managers to immediately drop Podziemski, especially if he holds onto that role. He’ll look to bounce back on Thursday against the Mavericks.

Tuesday’s game is the first for the Warriors since losing Jimmy Butler III to a season-ending ACL tear on Monday. Green is back after sitting out the win over the Heat, and Podziemski will replace Will Richard in the starting lineup. Due to the Warriors’ need for scoring after losing Butler, Podz should remain a starter for the foreseeable future.

With Jimmy Butler (knee) leaving early in the third quarter and Stephen Curry saddled with foul trouble early in the fourth, Podziemski stepped up to help lead the Warriors to the win. He finished with a season-high point total, with only a blocked shot missing from Podziemski’s stat line. Butler’s injury makes Podziemski a more critical option, even if he remains with the bench unit. He’s worth picking up even before Butler undergoes an MRI on Tuesday.

Podziemski had an excellent night at the office, missing one shot and recording a nice overall stat line. However, the reserve role has not been the best for him as far as fantasy value is concerned. Over the past two weeks, Podziemski has been ranked outside the top-150 in per-game value. While deep-league managers may want to hold onto him, managers in 12-team leagues need to seek alternatives, preferably via trade if possible.

The Warriors are down multiple starters for Friday’s game, with Moody and Post being the holdovers. Podziemski and Richard are worth rostering in this spot, while fantasy managers can afford to leave Santos on the waiver wire.

As expected, Podz will suit up against Toronto, which means he will occupy his typical role off the bench. It has been a disappointing season overall, but he has played better over the past two weeks and will look to stay productive in this game.
