Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Drills five treys in victory
Rotowire
Podziemski totaled 25 points (10-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 26 minutes during Monday's 138-87 win over the Pelicans.
Podziemski teamed up with Stephen Curry to account for 50 points on the way to a blowout victory. The 23-year-old guard has looked sharp from downtown over his last two matchups, hitting nine of 16 attempts. His 25-point showing is his best of the season thus far through nine appearances.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Hits four triples in OT win
Rotowire
Podziemski finished with 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, an assist, two steals and a block across 39 minutes in Saturday's 126-119 overtime win over the Magic.
Podziemski delivered efficient perimeter shooting and valuable defensive production while playing a season-high 39 minutes, but with his workload sitting firmly at around 33 minutes per game, his role on offense is pretty much set in stone as a multi-category contributor who can hit threes. His scoring ceiling still depends on shot volume in Golden State's offense, but his contributions in other categories are a nice boost, even if they are inconsistent at times.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Contributes across board
Rotowire
Podziemski provided nine points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 120-100 win over the Heat.
Podziemski struggled to find his shooting touch but contributed in several other categories while logging the most minutes of any Golden State player. The fourth-year guard added two triples and a pair of defensive stats, helping compensate for his single-digit scoring output. His substantial workload and versatility provide a useful fantasy floor, though his offensive production remains inconsistent.

Rotowire
Podziemski supplied 17 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists over 37 minutes during Sunday's 124-112 win over the Clippers.
The fourth-year guard set new season highs in boards and assists as he came within spitting distance of his first career triple-double. Podziemski has played only five of the Warriors' seven games so far due to back trouble, but he's been productive when on the court, averaging 16.4 points, 5.6 assists, 5.4 boards, 2.2 threes and 1.2 steals in 33.6 minutes and seeing career-high shot volume at 13.0 FG attempts and 6.4 three-point attempts per contest.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Key production in comeback
Rotowire
Podziemski closed Friday's 112-95 win over the Lakers with 21 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes.
Podziemski gave Golden State a strong secondary scoring option. The guard has taken on a bigger role in the starting lineup due to numerous long-term absences, and his all-around production was key to the comeback. He should keep seeing heavy minutes Sunday against the Clippers.

Podziemski returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Saturday's contest against Phoenix, delivering an efficient performance while committing zero turnovers. The third-year guard also finished with a team-high plus-35 rating, contributing across multiple categories in Golden State's first victory of the campaign. His combination of rebounds, assists and three-point shooting should keep him relevant in standard fantasy formats.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Tallies 17 points vs. Portland
Rotowire
Podziemski logged 17 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 128-118 preseason win over the Trail Blazers.
Podziemski was quiet over the first two quarters of Friday's game before logging 10 points in the third to help the Warriors extend their lead. The fifth-year pro enters the 2026-27 with high expectations, which is reflected by the five-year, $110 million contract extension that he signed with the Warriors last Saturday. He could emerge as the No. 2 option on offense behind Stephen Curry, especially since Jimmy Butler (knee) is not expected to play until the start of the 2027 calendar year.
