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.

Podziemski underwent a successful left wrist debridement procedure on his left wrist on Wednesday. According to the Warriors, the 2023 first-round pick is expected to be healthy in time for the start of training camp in the fall. After finishing fifth in Rookie of the Year voting in 2023-24, Podziemski’s averages improved in points, steals and three-pointers this season. While he may not be an offensive focal point for the Warriors next season, Podziemski’s status as a starter will make him a worthwhile selection in fantasy drafts.

This wasn’t a great series for Podziemski, but he ended it on a high note. He set a new playoff career high for points and still contributed value in other categories across the board. Podz has solidified his spot in the starting lineup with the way the roster is currently constructed. He should be an enticing pick in fantasy drafts next season, especially if the Warriors lean on him for more production to keep Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green fresh for the postseason.

Podziemski was 3-of-14 from the field and missed all four of his three-point attempts. His 22.5 field goal percentage in this series is the worst for any player (min. 35 attempts) since Pero Antic shot 16.7 percent in the Hawks vs. Pacers series in 2014, according to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press. Down 3-1 in the series now, the Warriors need Stephen Curry to return from his hamstring injury for Game 5, a miracle or both to get back in this series.

Podziemski has made things happen in this series. He scored in double figures in Games 1 and 3, which were wins. He exited early from Game 2, which was a loss. He played 40 minutes in Game 4 and had his best game of the postseason, which helped the Warriors take a 3-1 lead in the series. Podz did a little bit of everything in this game, but he did most of his damage beyond the arc. He’ll look to stay hot in Game 5 on Wednesday to help the Warriors close out the series.

Initially questionable for Game 2, Podziemski attempted to play through his stomach illness. He played the first eight minutes before having to exit, and the second-year guard did not return until 6:11 remaining in the third quarter. Mercifully, Podziemski was shut down for good with 9:44 remaining in the fourth quarter, as he was not physically up to the challenge. The good news for Golden State is that Game 3 is not until Saturday. Hopefully, that’s enough time for Podziemski to return to full health.

Podziemski has been ill for a few days. While he was able to start Game 2, the second-year guard logged eight minutes before heading to the locker room. With Jimmy Butler (tailbone) ruled out for the rest of the night, the Warriors will have to count on Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga if they’re to have any chance of winning Game 2.

After sitting out the Warriors’ pregame shootaround with an illness, Podziemski has been given the all-clear to play in Game 2. He’ll retain his place in the starting lineup, but Gary Payton II could see his playing time increase slightly in this spot. Buddy Hield is another option for increased playing time, but Payton’s defensive ability makes him the player more likely to benefit if Podziemski’s minutes decrease.

Podziemski is a late addition to the Warriors’ injury report, which is an ominous sign regarding his availability for Game 2. A fixture in the starting lineup for the past month, the second-year guard logged 35 minutes in Game 1. Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield would likely see their minutes increase if Podziemski sits, with the former’s defensive prowess likely making him the priority.

Only three Warriors reached double figures in Sunday’s 95-85 victory, with Podziemski joining Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. Making his first postseason appearance, the second-year guard offered solid value in rebounds, assists, steals and three-pointers in Game 1. Podziemski isn’t part of Golden State’s “big three,” with Draymond Green owning that seat next to Curry and Butler. But his contributions are essential, especially in a series that may be low-scoring due to the defensive ability of both teams. The Warriors will look to extend their series lead to 2-0 on Wednesday.

While the addition of Jimmy Butler has negatively impacted Jonathan Kuminga’s (DNP-CD on Sunday) playing time and fantasy value, that has not been the case for Podziemski. The second-year guard has played well since the February trade deadline, providing eighth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Podziemski’s emergence will be key for the Warriors, as they’ll need to beat Memphis on Tuesday to earn the seventh seed in the West. Houston will be the first-round opponent for the winner of that game, while the loser plays the Sacramento/Dallas winner for the eighth seed.

After scoring 54 points across his prior two appearances, Podziemski was not as prolific against the Rockets. That’s unsurprising, as Houston boasts one of the best defenses in the NBA. Podziemski still shot 50 percent from the field and made four three-pointers. Over the past two weeks, Podziemski has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats and has meshed well within the Warriors’ starting lineup since the addition of Jimmy Butler.

Podziemski has scored at least 26 points in three of his last four appearances. Over his past two games, the Warriors guard has shot 12-of-18 from beyond the arc. Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green receive most of the attention, and rightfully so. However, Podziemski’s recent run should not be overlooked as the Warriors look to make a run at a championship. Fantasy-wise, he has been a top-20 player over the past week. He’ll look to continue this recent success on Sunday when the Warriors host the Rockets.

Less than a week after setting a new career-high with seven three-pointers, Podziemski eclipsed that mark once again. He got off to a blazing hot start to this game and entered halftime with 22 points and six three-pointers, which included a buzzer-beater from halfcourt to enter the break. His second season in the league started off slow, but the 2023 first-round pick ranks inside the top 50 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks. He’s heating up at the right time for the Warriors and will be an intriguing option in fantasy drafts next season.

Podziemski and the Warriors put on an offensive clinic in San Antonio, scoring 148 points on 57.7 percent shooting from the field. The second-year guard led the way, with the 27 points being the most he’s scored in a game since February 5. A double-digit scorer in six straight and eight of his last nine appearances, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. And the lone game in which he did not reach double figures was one he exited after less than a minute with a back injury that sidelined him for nearly two weeks. Golden State plays four games during Week 22, starting with the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Podziemski has scored 15 points or more in each of the three games he’s played since returning from a back injury. With Stephen Curry (pelvis) not traveling with the team for the start of the Warriors’ six-game road trip, Podziemski stands to have added fantasy value for the foreseeable future. He’s already rostered in 66 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so the second-year player can still be found on most shallow league waiver wires.

With Curry back in the lineup after a one-game absence, Quinten Post will move to the bench. Post had started the last few games for the Warriors, but with Podziemski healthy, he will be limited to a reserve role.

Tuesday’s game was the first for Podziemski since March 6, and his back did not appear to trouble him. The Warriors guard hit two critical three-pointers in crunch time to help the Warriors put away the Bucks, and the overall stat line was solid. With Stephen Curry unavailable, Moses Moody remained in the starting lineup on Tuesday, finishing with seven points, seven rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 25 minutes. Podziemski was the starter before his injury, which will likely be the case once Curry returns.

Podziemski has been out since March 6 with a strained back. He’ll return on Tuesday, filling the void in the starting lineup left by Stephen Curry (back). That raises Podziemski’s fantasy ceiling, even if his minutes are restricted.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said before Saturday’s win over the Knicks that he hopes to get Podziemski back on Tuesday, and the second-year guard remains on track to return then. His return will give the Warriors another option on the perimeter, likely resulting in Moses Moody’s eventual return to the bench. Moody has played well as a starter, and his minutes may be safe in the short term if Podziemski is placed under a minutes restriction.

Saturday’s game against the Knicks will be the fourth Podziemski has missed with a strained back, with Moses Moody replacing him in the starting lineup. Tuesday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Warriors, who host the Nuggets on Monday. Moody will lose some playing time once Podziemski is cleared to return.
