Brandin Podziemski

The Warriors remain without Stephen Curry (pelvis), but it will not be Quinten Post who replaces him in the starting lineup. Payton II receives the nod, with Green shifting into the starting center role. Payton will likely match up with Tyler Herro, giving the Warriors a defensive boost on the perimeter.

Curry worked out on Monday but did not feel ready to return from the pelvic contusion he suffered last week. Quinten Post should remain in the starting lineup, giving the rookie limited streaming value in deep leagues. Curry's absence also raises the fantasy ceilings of Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody.

Podziemski has scored 15 points or more in each of the three games he's played since returning from a back injury. With Stephen Curry (pelvis) not traveling with the team for the start of the Warriors' six-game road trip, Podziemski stands to have added fantasy value for the foreseeable future. He's already rostered in 66 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so the second-year player can still be found on most shallow league waiver wires.

The Warriors are without Stephen Curry, who will miss Saturday's game with a pelvic contusion. His absence means Post will return to the starting lineup, raising the rookie's fantasy ceiling slightly. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga should pick up more opportunities despite coming off the bench.

The Golden State Warriors pulling out a victory in their first game of a six-game road trip against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday will boil down to Brandin Podziemski's defense on star point guard Trae Young, Monte Poole writes.
