Post totaled two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 win over the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
With Jimmy Butler (pelvis) sidelined and Moses Moody moving to the bench, Post and Jonathan Kuminga were inserted into Golden State's staring lineup for Game 3. Post didn't make much of an impact as a shooter, but he did manage to grab a game-high 12 boards (nine defensive). The rookie second-round pick could stay in the Warriors' starting five if Butler is unable to play in Game 4 on Monday.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Starting in Game 3
Rotowire
Post is in the Warriors' starting lineup against the Rockets in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Post played a bigger role for the Warriors in Game 2 on Wednesday compared to Game 1, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes. The rookie second-rounder will start in the frontcourt alongside Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga, and Post should give the Warriors more interior presence on the glass against Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Drains four threes in Game 2
Rotowire
Post totaled 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 109-94 loss to the Rockets in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
After failing to score a point in 12 minutes during a Game 1 win for the Warriors, Post was a lot more involved in the offense Wednesday. His increased usage was likely the result of Jimmy Butler (pelvis) being unable to finish the game, and if Butler isn't fully fit for Game 3 on Saturday, Post could have some DFS appeal as a bargain option.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Strong line in 22 minutes
Rotowire
Post amassed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game win over Memphis.
This was Post's largest workload since March 22, but, notably, coach Steve Kerr trusted him in his first taste of the playoffs. Post is the preferred backup big these days, and Jonathan Kuminga has been buried on the depth chart as a result.

The Warriors will be close to full strength Friday with Post available, and the rookie should see decent minutes even if he comes off the bench.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Late addition to report Tuesday
Rotowire
Post (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns.
Post was a very late addition to the injury report, which bodes poorly for his status ahead of Tuesday's tipoff at 10:00 p.m. ET. If the rookie big man is ruled out against Phoenix, Kevon Looney will likely receive a bump in minutes behind Draymond Green.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Strong showing off bench Thursday
Rotowire
Post ended with 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 117-114 win over the Raptors.
The rookie center delivered his best scoring effort in March as he shifted back to the second unit once again. Post has been dealing with an ankle issue that limited him to eight minutes against the Nuggets on Monday, but he looked fully healthy Thursday as he set a new career high in made three-pointers. Stephen Curry (pelvis) left the win over Toronto early, and if misses additional time, Post could be the player who shifts back into the starting five.

Rotowire
Post isn't starting Thursday's game against the Raptors, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Post will return to a bench role after starting Golden State's last two matchups. He should still log around 20 minutes but hasn't been overly effective as a reserve, as he's been held to single figures in the scoring column in three of his last four bench showings.

Rotowire
Post racked up 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 21 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 victory over the Nets.
Post delivered a productive performance in his third consecutive contest coming off the bench, scoring in double digits for the ninth time across 25 regular-season appearances. The big man was also efficient from beyond the arc, sinking multiple triples for the 13th time on the season. Additionally, Post registered two blocks in the win, marking a new season high. The 24-year-old center has provided a spark in the rotation since late January, and in eight outings (one start) since the All-Star break, he has averaged 10.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks across 19.0 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Starts in second half Thursday
Rotowire
Post registered 18 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 win over the Magic.
Stephen Curry's 56-point outburst will get most of the attention from Thursday's game, but Post played a large part in the Warriors' 17-point comeback. Post entered the starting lineup for the second half and finished as the Warriors' second-leading scorer while registering a game-high plus-22 point differential. The rookie second-round pick has established a consistent role for himself in the Warriors' rotation, and he could carve himself out an even bigger role over the final weeks of the regular season.
