Bassey will start in Wednesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) remains out indefinitely, and both Draymond Green and Al Horford did not travel for Wednesday's exhibition, so Bassey will draw the start. He could see quality minutes with the Warriors resting nine players, and he's capable of racking up the boards when given the opportunity.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Sitting out Wednesday
Rotowire
Lendeborg (rest) is out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
The rookie is one of several Warriors not making the trip for maintenance reasons. He produced 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason win over the Lakers and continues to impress the coaching staff.

Warriors' Brandon Williams: Drops 10 points from bench
Rotowire
Williams posted 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 preseason win over the Lakers.
Williams hopes to catch on with the Lakers after three seasons with the Mavericks, and although his speed and playmaking are unquestioned, he's buried on the depth chart and unlikely to make an impact. One possible advantage is Stephen Curry's advancing age, which could give him extra possessions in back-to-backs, but he's far from fantasy-relevant at this point.

Warriors' Stephen Curry: Contributes 16 points in victory
Rotowire
Curry generated 16 points, 4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 14 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason win over the Lakers.
Curry made the most of his limited court time, drilling three shots beyond the arc in short order. Curry won't travel with the team to Portland, and the veteran's preseason participation is expected to be very limited to avoid injury and keep him fresh for the regular season.

Warriors' Yaxel Lendeborg: Continues strong preseason play
Rotowire
Lendeborg registered 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason win over the Lakers.
Lendeborg appears to have an inside track to start with the first unit once the season gets underway. The 2026 first-round pick finds himself in one of the best situations among this season's pack of rookies, as Draymond Green's advancing age and several frontcourt injuries will all play in the Michigan product's favor.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Scores 16 points with two stocks
Rotowire
Podziemski tallied 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 19 minutes in Tuesday's 124-98 preseason win over the Lakers.
Podziemski came out flat with seven points on 2-for-10 shooting in Golden State's preseason opener, but he found his footing against a Lakers team that was resting all their main guys. Podziemski was generating a lot of buzz at training camp, so it'll be interesting to see if he can keep it going Wednesday in Portland.

The Warriors will go with a small-ball starting lineup Tuesday, featuring Draymond Green and Yaxel Lendeborg in the post, with Horford shifting to the second unit. It's unlikely the 40-year-old veteran will earn enough consistent minutes in Golden State this season to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues.

The Warriors are being cautious with Green's workload in the preseason, so he'll be limited to around 20 minutes Tuesday and won't suit up Wednesday. This is part of a long-term picture, as the idea is to have Green as healthy as possible for the start of the regular season against the Lakers on Oct. 21.
