GSW • Shooting Guard • #2

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.

Podziemski should be available given his probable tag on the injury report with an abdominal injury. The 22-year-old point guard comes off the bench, but has still played at least 28 minutes in four consecutive games.

Podziemski has scored in double figures in four straight games, his most consistent run of the season. He finished Monday’s victory with a complete stat line, and he has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the last week. Coming off the bench limits Podziemski’s fantasy ceiling, but it is encouraging that he has averaged 28.4 minutes in his last three games.

With Stephen Curry (quad) out and Jimmy Butler (knee) not returning for the second half of Tuesday’s game, the Warriors relied on an even more balanced offensive approach than usual. Podziemski was one of six players to score in double figures, and one of four to hit double digits in shot attempts. He’s been Curry’s replacement in the starting lineup. And with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr saying after Tuesday’s defeat that Steph won’t travel on the upcoming road trip, now is a good time to roll the dice on Podziemski in 12-team formats.

After a rough first half in which he missed all four of his shot attempts, there wasn’t anywhere for Podziemski to go but up. That’s precisely what happened, as he shot 5-of-8 from the field and scored 15 points in the second half. Add in the rebounds, assists and three-pointers, and this was a good night for the Warriors guard. With Stephen Curry (quad) out for a few more games, Podziemski boasts a higher fantasy ceiling, especially as a starter. The Warriors play four games in Week 7, making “AirPodz” worth the risk in some 12-team leagues.

Saturday’s game is the first for the Warriors since losing Stephen Curry to a quad contusion. His absence opens up a spot in the lineup for Podziemski, who should have value in 12-team formats. The other change is Post, who steps into the starting lineup in place of rookie Will Richard. Jonathan Kuminga is available but will come off the bench in his first game back from bilateral patellar tendinitis.

Moved back to the bench on Friday after starting Wednesday’s loss to the Heat, Podziemski provided solid value against the Trail Blazers. He recorded his second 20-point game in as many outings while also recording three steals. Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Podziemski is providing 11th-round value in nine-cat formats this season. The production hasn’t been great, but he’s worth having while the Warriors await Jonathan Kuminga’s return from bilateral knee soreness.

Podziemski had the opportunity to start with the Warriors missing most of its starting lineup against the Heat. The 22-year-old guard had 20 points on 19 attempts in the loss, but also chipped in eight rebounds. It was his first game with at least 20 points since October 27 against the Grizzlies. Podziemski is likely headed back to the bench for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Podziemski has reached double figures in three of the four games he’s played since returning to a reserve role in a November 11 loss to the Thunder. Sunday’s performance was his best, and the third-year guard has provided seventh-round value in nine-cat formats over the past week. Jonathan Kuminga’s absence has opened up additional opportunities for Podziemski, and he’s taken advantage. While he doesn’t need to start to provide solid fantasy value, Podz’s ceiling is lower when coming off the bench and the Warriors are whole.

Podziemski was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, and he’ll figure prominently in the Warriors’ rotation. With Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green unavailable, there’s a good chance that Podziemski is in the starting lineup. He should be rostered in standard leagues for Wednesday’s action.

Stephen Curry (illness) has already been ruled out, but Podz joins Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green as questionable to play in this game, meaning the Warriors’ rotation could look quite different against the Kings. Moses Moody and Buddy Hield stand to benefit directly from Podziemski’s absence.

Podziemski made his fourth start of the season on Saturday, replacing Quentin Post in the lineup while Draymond Green shifted to the five. The third-year guard was solid, shooting 60 percent from the field and recording a complete stat line. Rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Podziemski provides top-100 value in nine-cat formats while averaging 29.7 minutes per game. He may not always start, but the role remains prominent. As for Post, he played 13 minutes against the Pacers, finishing with nine points, three rebounds and one three-pointer. There’s no need to roster him in redraft leagues.

The Warriors are starting Saturday’s game with a smaller lineup, with Podziemski replacing center Quinten Post. This raises the former’s fantasy ceiling, and it also means that Kuminga and Green will shift down a position. Post’s playing time will decrease with the lineup change.

Podziemski utilized the three-point shot to conclude the victory as one of four Warriors to score at least 20 points on Monday. He was most productive as a scorer in the opening quarters of each half, but he also contributed throughout as a facilitator. In the end, the third-year guard landed his best statistical performance of the season and will have a chance to remain productive on Tuesday against the Clippers.

Podz came off the bench in Golden State’s last game in favor of Quinten Post to give Golden State a taller center to matchup with Donovan Clingan. Podz will return to the starting unit, with Post shifting back to a reserve role.

Podz led all scorers in this one as he shot an efficient 10-of-16 from the field, including 3-of-7 from beyond the arc. He was also effective as a rebounder and facilitator, highlighting his ability to stuff the stat sheet on any given night. Podziemski should be in line for a significant role in Golden State’s rotation in 2025-26, making him a worthwhile selection inside the top 100 picks of fantasy drafts.

A few weeks removed from undergoing surgery on his left (shooting) wrist, Podziemski underwent a separate procedure on Tuesday. According to the Warriors, the procedure to repair the core muscle injury was successful. Podziemski is expected to be fully recovered in time for the start of training camp in late September. As long as there aren’t any setbacks, Podziemski will be a player worth selecting in fantasy drafts.
