Brandin Podziemski
Brandin Podziemski is likely to play against the Lakers Saturday after being limited by illness, logging just 13 minutes in Thursday’s game. His availability could reduce Pat Spencer’s minutes, although Spencer, fresh off a career-high 20-point performance, remains a key part of the lineup with Stephen Curry sidelined due to a knee injury. Spencer’s role in the rotation appears secure given Curry’s absence.
