Brandin Podziemski

Podziemski and the Warriors put on an offensive clinic in San Antonio, scoring 148 points on 57.7 percent shooting from the field. The second-year guard led the way, with the 27 points being the most he's scored in a game since February 5. A double-digit scorer in six straight and eight of his last nine appearances, Podziemski has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. And the lone game in which he did not reach double figures was one he exited after less than a minute with a back injury that sidelined him for nearly two weeks. Golden State plays four games during Week 22, starting with the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Golden State guard Brandin Podziemski joined Steph Curry in the Warriors history books after a career-high performance against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Golden State Warriors become a real NBA playoff threat if Brandin Podziemski's recent habits continue in the coming weeks.

Curry is back after a two-game absence, and no effort will be required to insert him back into the starting lineup. Gary Payton II is out indefinitely with a thumb injury, so Curry can fill that vacancy if Steve Kerr takes this approach. That would leave Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moddy in the starting lineup.

Curry has missed Golden State's last two games, but he'll likely return to action against New Orleans. His availability is great news for a Warriors team that's dropped two straight. Curry's return means one of Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody or Gary Payton II will shift back to the bench.
