Coming off bench
Podziemski isn't starting Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. Podziemski will come off the bench for the first time since Nov. 25 as the Warriors elect to roll out a new starting five. Buddy Hield will step into the starting shooting guard spot and Gary Payton gets the nod at small forward in Andrew Wiggins' (ankle) place.
Decent stat line Friday
Podziemski closed with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 25 minutes during Friday's 107-90 loss to the Timberwolves. Podziemski has started in Golden State's last five games but hasn't recorded 15 or more points in his last five outings, and he hasn't even reached the 10-point plateau in his last two. However, he remains valuable in fantasy due to his across-the-board contributions. Over that five-game stretch, Podziemski is averaging 10.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game. He's expected to remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.
Grabs 12 rebounds as fill-in
Podziemski logged eight points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists over 37 minutes during Thursday's 99-93 win over the Rockets. Podziemski filled in for Stephen Curry (rest) in the victory. Podziemski's rebound total was a season high by a fairly wide margin, and it salvaged a mediocre scoring total. Podziemski was on a five-game streak of double-digit scoring totals, but it was snapped after this result.
Fills in for Curry with 12 points
Podziemski finished with 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 105-101 loss to Oklahoma City. Podziemski stepped into the point guard role with Stephen Curry (knee) absent, but his result fell below his seasonal average. There's no timetable on Curry's return, although the injury isn't considered serious. Podziemski's fantasy impact is limited, and it would take a serious first-unit injury to make his stock rise.
Starting vs. OKC
Podziemski is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder. Podziemski will get the nod as point guard due to the absence of Stephen Curry (knee). This will be Podziemski's fourth start of the season. He's averaging 14.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 0.7 steals per game in the previous three.
Not on injury report
Podziemski (nose) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Pelicans. Podziemski was hit in the face late in Wednesday's win over the Hawks, and X-rays were negative. The fact that the second-year guard is not on the injury report suggests he shouldn't have limitations going forward and that the hit to the nose will end up being nothing more than just a scare. Podziemski is averaging 7.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game this season.
X-rays negative, DTD
X-rays on Podziemski's nose came back negative after Wednesday's 120-97 win over the Hawks, and coach Steve Kerr said Podziemski is day-to-day, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. Podziemski was hit in the face late in Wednesday's game, which was particularly concerning because he broke his nose during the preseason. However, Podziemski has avoided another break and doesn't seem to be at risk of a long-term absence. Podziemski finished the contest with three points (1-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and a steal across 15 minutes. His next chance to play will come Friday at New Orleans for the first game of a back-to-back set.
Exits after being hit in face
Podziemski went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Hawks after being hit in the face, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. Podziemski suffered a broken nose in the preseason and was forced to wear a mask for several weeks, making Wednesday's incident concerning. Podziemski remained down on the floor for several minutes before getting up and heading back to the locker room. While he's out, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton could see some extra minutes.
Will play vs. Cleveland
Podziemski (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of SI.com reports. Podziemski was among three players who were questionable for Friday, but he'll suit up for this matchup against the undefeated Cavaliers. Podziemski is averaging 9.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game this season.
