Rotowire
Melton tallied 16 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during the Warriors' 111-96 loss to the Suns in Friday's Western Conference Play-In Tournament game.
Melton ended the 2025-26 season with a productive showing off the bench, finishing second on the Warriors in both points and rebounds behind Brandin Podziemski. Melton spent most of the season on the bench but was a regular member of the Warriors' starting five across 23 games from Feb. 5 to April 9. Over that span, he averaged 13.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 threes, and 1.7 steals over 24.7 minutes per game. Melton has a $3.45 million player option for the 2026-27 season.

Rotowire
Podziemski recorded 23 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 111-96 Play-In Game loss to the Suns.
Podziemski left it all on the floor, recording his sixth double-double of the season. On the whole, it was a relatively successful season for Podziemski, as he played in all 82 regular-season games and both Play-In tilts. With averages of 14.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.9 three-pointers, he is likely to remain on the radar heading into drafts next season.

Rotowire
Podziemski recorded 30 points (9-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 124-118 loss to the Kings.
Stephen Curry (ankle) returned to the starting five Friday, but it was Podziemski who led the way on offense for the Warriors as he paced all scorers on the night while setting a new career high. The third-year guard has dropped 20-plus points in seven of the last 10 games, averaging 21.1 points, 4.8 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch as he heads into the regular-season finale Sunday.

The 17 points tied Nate Williams for the team lead in the loss. Podziemski has scored in double digits in nine straight games as he tries to keep an injury-depleted Golden State roster afloat heading into the Play-In Tournament, averaging 20.1 points, 5.0 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.0 steals over that span while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor and 43.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Strikes for 20 against Kings
Rotowire
Podziemski finished Tuesday's 110-105 win over Sacramento with 20 points (5-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 30 minutes.
The third-year guard continues to roll. Podziemski has scored at least 14 points and drained multiple three-pointers in eight straight games, averaging 20.5 points, 5.5 boards, 4.4 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch while shooting 54.1 percent from the floor and 45.8 percent from long distance.
Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Massive line in loss
Rotowire
Podziemski ended Thursday's 118-111 loss to Cleveland with 25 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes.
This was one of Podziemski's best games of the season as he recorded his fourth game with at least 25 points, finishing one point shy of his season-best mark. He's been on a tear with 18.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists over his last eight games, but Stephen Curry (knee) is targeting a return Sunday against Houston.
Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Posts 23 points in defeat
Rotowire
Podziemski recorded 23 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 116-93 loss to the Nuggets.
Podziemski matched Kristaps Porzingis with a team-high 23 points during the loss. While Podziemski has fared well in the starting role at point guard, the gap left by Stephen Curry (knee) is still quite noticeable. The team seems destined to finish at the bottom of the Play-In bracket without his contribution, but Podziemski has helped to keep the team above water. He's averaged 14.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals since Curry's exit 21 games ago.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Reaches 20-point mark once again
Rotowire
Podziemski logged 22 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 131-126 win over the Wizards.
Podziemski has reached the 20-point mark in three straight games, which marks his longest streak of the season doing so. With Jimmy Butler (knee) and Stephen Curry (knee) sidelined, Podziemski has been forced to embrace a bigger role on offense, but he's certainly thriving in that scenario. He's averaging 16.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game in 16 appearances since returning to the starting lineup on a regular basis Feb. 25.

Rotowire
Podziemski notched 22 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 109-106 victory over the Nets.
Making his 15th straight start in place of Stephen Curry (knee), Podziemski scored 20-plus points for the second straight game and the sixth time in 13 March contests. On the month, the third-year guard is averaging 16.9 points, 6.1 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 0.9 steals in 33.5 minutes.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Records double-double in OT win
Rotowire
Podziemski supplied 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 137-131 overtime win over the Mavericks.
Podziemski bounced back with a solid total after struggling through a rough four-game stretch where he averaged only 10.0 points. The third-year pro has been indispensable during Stephen Curry's (knee) extended absence. Given the Warriors' playoff position with only 10 games remaining, Podziemski will continue to receive every opportunity to produce, with Curry's regular-season return becoming increasingly unlikely.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
Podziemski ended Wednesday's 120-99 loss to the Celtics with 10 points (1-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 28 minutes.
Podziemski couldn't get his shot to drop and finished with a minus-11 plus/minus rating in the blowout loss. The Warriors have now dropped six of their past seven games, and it'll be tough for them to right the ship Friday with a matchup against the 48-18 Pistons.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Scores 25 points once again
Rotowire
Podziemski chipped in 25 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 110-107 loss to the Knicks.
Podziemski was coming off a 25-point effort in Friday's loss to the Timberwolves, and he continues to put up excellent numbers since moving into a starting role. He has started the Warriors' last nine games dating back to Feb. 25, and he's averaging a robust line of 18.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game over that stretch while shooting 38.5 percent from beyond the arc. As long as Stephen Curry (knee) remains sidelined, Podziemski should maintain elevated usage.

Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Big double-double in Friday's loss
Rotowire
Podziemski closed Friday's 127-117 loss to the Timberwolves with 25 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes.
The third-year guard led the shorthanded Warriors in scoring, and the roster only got thinner as the night progressed with Al Horford (calf), Quinten Post (ankle) and Seth Curry (thigh) all heading to the locker room early. Podziemski has scored more than 20 points in three of the last six games, averaging 18.8 points, 7.0 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.3 threes and 1.0 steals in 35.7 minutes over that stretch, and it doesn't look like his workload or usage are going to be scaled back any time soon.
