Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Hits for 23 in Monday's win
Rotowire
Podziemski logged 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 131-118 win over Memphis.
The third-year guard made his third start in four games to begin the season and responded with his best scoring effort so far. Podziemski and Quinten Post have split the open spot in the starting five while 39-year-old Al Horford (toe) gets treated very gingerly in the early going, and the fact that the Warriors are 3-0 with the smaller alignment probably bodes well for Podziemski's workload. In those three starts, he's averaging 13.7 points, 4.7 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.7 threes and 1.0 steals in 33.0 minutes a game.

Rotowire
Podziemski registered seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over the Lakers.
Podziemski started this game, but Golden State's lineups could be fluid a lot of nights depending on matchups. Some nights, Podziemski could come off the bench if the Warriors decide to add more size to the first unit in Al Horford. Podziemski's workload was encouraging Tuesday, but his role in the offense left a lot to be desired.
