Golden State Warriors vs. Washington Wizards - News - November 04, 2024 | FOX Sports

Brandin Podziemski - Listed available for Wednesday Podziemski (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Podziemski tried to play through an illness Monday in Washington, but he ended up calling it a night in the third quarter. Before moving to the bench in favor of Stephen Curry (ankle) and Gary Payton on Monday, Podziemski had drawn three straight starts while Curry was sidelined and averaged 14.7 points, 6.0 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.7 steals in 36.7 minutes per game. With Curry back, Podziemski likely won't see that type of usage moving forward, but he's a key part of the Warriors' deep and talented backcourt this season.

Jared Butler - Minor role continues Butler amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three assists in eight minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to Golden State.

Impact Butler has averaged 5.6 points and 2.4 assists in 9.0 minutes per game over five appearances this season. As long as Kyle Kuzma (groin) and Malcolm Brogdon (thumb) remain sidelined, Butler should continue to play a minor reserve role.

Corey Kispert - Modest production in large role Kispert ended with four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to the Warriors.

Impact After averaging 15.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 32.3 minutes over a three-game stretch, Kispert has totaled eight points (3-17 FG), eight rebounds and two assists in 60 minutes over his past two games. With Kyle Kuzma (groin) sidelined, there are more opportunities for Kispert, but Washington's youngsters -- Carlton Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr -- have stolen the show recently.

Buddy Hield - Another strong showing Hield closed Monday's 125-112 victory over the Wizards with 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes.

Impact Hield has scored at least 20 points in four straight games and six times through seven appearances. He's also recorded eight steals and four blocks over his past six games, showing he's not just a three-point specialist. With Stephen Curry (ankle) back, Hield's usage figures to wane, but coach Steve Kerr hasn't been shy about riding the hot hand this season.

Trayce Jackson-Davis - Knows his role Jackson-Davis produced 12 points (6-11 FG), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 23 minutes during Monday's 125-112 win over Washington.

Impact If nothing else, Jackson-Davis knows his role. The second-year big man plays around 20 minutes a night, grabs boards, protects the paint, moves the ball and takes easy shots. Nothing jumps off the page, but Jackson-Davis is locked into a consistent starting role and delivers when called upon. He's averaging 9.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.6 blocks in 18.7 minutes per game across seven appearances this season.

Andrew Wiggins - Poor shooting in Monday's win Wiggins contributed five points (1-9 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 18 minutes during Monday's 125-112 win over the Wizards.

Impact Wiggins suited up for a second straight game after missing back-to-back contests against the Pelicans due to a back issue. While he was solid in his return to action Saturday, posting 15 points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 31 minutes during a win over Houston, the veteran struggled to generate anything Monday and was held to only 18 minutes. Buddy Hield (28) and Jonathan Kuminga (25) both saw more minutes than Wiggins off the bench.
