Impact No surprise here, as Klay Matthews (illness) is good to go. As a result, Podziemski should return to his usual workload off the bench.

Available Wednesday Podziemski (illness) will be available to play Wednesday against Atlanta.
Impact Podziemski is dealing with a minor illness, but he'll gut it out and suit up for Wednesday's matinee. He should be good for his usual minutes in the mid-20s, but his fantasy upside is diminished in the reserve role.

Battling illness Podziemski is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta due to an illness.
Impact Podziemski is at risk of missing his first contest since Nov. 28 due to a non-COVID illness. Golden State's backcourt would be slightly shorthanded if the rookie is unable to suit up, as Moses Moody (calf) and Gary Payton (hamstring) are both amid multi-week absences.

Returns to bench Podziemski will come off the bench in Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Podziemski got back on track despite the loss, matching his career-high with 23 points, tallying his third double-double of the season. With the Warriors down on troops, Podziemski moved back into the starting lineup, reminding everyone why he was considered a must-roster player only a couple of weeks ago. If you managed to scoop him up for tonight's game, he is worth holding, just to see if he can regain his momentum over the coming days.

Joins starting five Podziemski will start Saturday's game against the Bucks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Impact Stephen Curry is getting the night off for rest, so Podziemski will join Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Dario Saric and Kevon Looney in the first unit.

As a starter this season, the rookie holds averages of 9.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Quiet in bench role Podziemski finished with five points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 140-131 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Podziemski moved back to the bench Friday, serving up another poor performance. He has now scored fewer than six points in three straight games, coming back to earth after establishing himself as a must-roster player only a month ago. His minutes continue to hover around 26 per game, making him hard to trust right now. He is someone who can be rostered in 12-team formats but is almost certainly going to find himself on the chopping block in a lot of leagues.

Coming off bench Podziemski will return to a reserve role in Friday's game versus the Bulls, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Impact Podziemski replaced Andrew Wiggins as a starter in the previous game, but Wiggins is returning to the starting five in Chicago. The rookie guard has averaged 8.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 21.5 minutes in 22 games off the bench this season.

Impact Podziemski and Kevon Looney are joining the first unit, while Andrew Wiggins and Trayce Jackson-Davis will slide to the bench.

As a starter this season, Podziemski holds averages of 10.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.

Impact Chris Paul's (hand) injury will require Podziemski to take on an increased role in Golden State's backcourt. the 2023 first-round pick will have an excellent chance to prove his worth in the coming weeks, as his court time will likely reach 30 minutes or more with Paul sidelined.

Podziemski has shown that he can produce at a consistent rate, whether starting or coming off the bench.

Jolly performance Monday Podziemski notched 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and five steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 120-114 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Podziemski tallied a career-high five steals in the loss, scoring double-digits for the seventh time in the past nine games. He has been a top-60 player over the past two weeks, playing exclusively as a starter. The eventual return of Draymond Green (suspension) is going to have an impact, although it would make sense to keep Podziemski in the opening unit given the impact he has had of late. In case anyone is wondering, he is a must-roster player across all formats.
