Warriors' Brandin Podziemski: Near double-double in OT win
Rotowire
Podziemski logged 26 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 40 minutes during the Warriors' 115-113 overtime win over the Rockets on Thursday.
Podziemski got off to a slow start to Wednesday's game but finished strong with 10 points in the third quarter and seven more in overtime to help the Warriors snap their two-game losing streak. His 26 points were a season high, and he was one rebound shy from recording his third double-double of the season. Podziemski has started in each of the Warriors' last four games and should remain a starter for as long as Stephen Curry (knee) is sidelined.

Rotowire
Santos is starting Thursday's game against the Rockets, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Santos will move into the starting lineup with Moses Moody (wrist) out for Thursday's action. Santos is no stranger to the first unit, as he's started 10 of Golden State's last 11 games.

Warriors' LJ Cryer: Available Thursday
Rotowire
Cryer (hamstring) will be available off the bench Thursday against Houston, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports.
Cryer has missed the last few weeks due to a hamstring injury, but he'll join the team for Thursday's clash and expects to be utilized in the rotation, per Slater. The rookie has appeared in only three games for Golden State this season, scoring six points in eight total minutes.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Unavailable Thursday
Rotowire
Payton (ankle) won't play Thursday against the Rockets.
Payton is set for a second straight absence due to a left ankle injury. Moses Moody (wrist) and Will Richard (ankle) are also out, so it'll presumably be up to Gui Santos, Nate Williams and Malevy Leons to step up in the frontcourt.
Curry (back) is out for Thursday's game against Houston.
Curry remains without a timetable for a return due to left sciatic nerve irritation. The veteran guard can be deemed week-to-week until the Warriors offer another update on his recovery.

Warriors' Kristaps Porzingis: Ruled out for Thursday
Rotowire
Porzingis (illness) is out for Thursday's game against Houston.
Porzingis is traveling with the Warriors on their three-game road trip, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com, which should give him a good chance of playing at some point this week. With the star big man sitting out Thursday, Draymond Green and Al Horford should push for minutes in the 30s.

Warriors' Gary Payton: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Payton (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Houston.
The Warriors will be very thin Thursday and will be hoping Payton can give it a go -- Moses Moody (wrist) and Will Richard (ankle) have both been ruled out. De'Anthony Melton and Pat Spencer could have a lot on their plates Thursday.

Warriors' Moses Moody: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Moody (wrist) will not play Thursday against Houston.
Moody picked up a right wrist sprain Monday against the Clippers, and he also tweaked his shoulder. The Warriors will hold him out Thursday, and it remains to be seen if he will be cleared in time for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Warriors' De'Anthony Melton: Struggles to score in loss
Rotowire
Melton racked up seven points (3-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.
Melton continues to work his way back from last year's ACL surgery, and he remains a strong source of triples and swipes despite Monday's dud. The veteran guard has averaged 16.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 25.7 minutes per game over his last six contests.

Warriors' Pat Spencer: Playing steady minutes
Rotowire
Spencer posted nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.
Spencer should be able to hang onto a meaningful role until the Warriors finally clear Stephen Curry (knee) to return. Over his past five appearances, Spencer has still averaged just 6.4 points, 5.4 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game.

Warriors' Nate Williams: Pops for 19 from bench
Rotowire
Williams had 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.
The journeyman signed a two-way deal with the Warriors last month, and he impressed during his second game of action with the parent club. He's already made waves with the G League since his acquisition, and the Warriors are in desperate need of depth at his position. Although we shouldn't expect too much from Williams, his stat line was encouraging.
Podziemski recorded 22 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 114-101 loss to the Clippers.
Podziemski posted a solid all-around line in the loss, but lackluster performances with the rest of the first unit weren't enough to turn the tide against the Clippers. He was one of only four Warriors to reach double digits in the contest, with only two other players scoring more than 10 points. Although Podziemski has been a great placeholder for Stephen Curry (knee), the team is in desperate need of more production.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that Moody jammed his right wrist and injured his shoulder during Monday's 114-101loss to the Clippers, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports. Moody recorded 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes.
Moody managed to play through both injuries, but his status for the first game of Golden State's road trip Thursday against Houston should be monitored closely. The team will presumably re-evaluate him in the next day or two to determine the severity of the injuries.
