Podziemski bounced back from two straight subpar performances, leading Golden State in scoring Sunday night. He'll continue to see some more scoring opportunity with Steph Curry (calf) sidelined.

Injuries to Stephen Curry (quad) and the mid-game exit of Jimmy Butler (knee) opened the door for Brandin Podziemski to shoulder a larger load during Tuesday's loss to the Thunder. The guard took advantage of the opportunity, tallying 17 points on 6-of-11 shooting while adding four rebounds, four assists, one steal, and three three-pointers.

Podziemski has stepped into the starting lineup in Curry's absence, and that role is now secure for the immediate future. Head coach Steve Kerr stated after the defeat that Curry will not travel with the team on their upcoming road trip. This development significantly boosts Podziemski's appeal, making him a strong consideration for managers in 12-team formats.

Brandin Podziemski finished Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers with 20 points (5-of-9 FG, 8-of-10 FT), three assists, three steals, and two three-pointers. He returned to a reserve role after starting Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Despite moving back to the bench, Podziemski managed to record his second consecutive 20-point performance. He is currently providing 11th-round value in nine-category formats and is rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues. With Jonathan Kuminga still sidelined due to bilateral knee soreness, Podziemski remains a viable hold for fantasy managers.

The Warriors were able to pick up a comfortable win over the Pelicans on Sunday, and Podziemski played a big part in that. He finished with 19 points on the night, which was the most out of anybody in the second unit. He won't continue to produce at this level moving forward but will likely continue to have some boom games here and there.
