    The Warriors will get back their veterans tomorrow night in Denver. Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Al Horford are cleared vs Nuggets. So is Brandin Podziemski. All four missed the Phoenix loss. Gui Santos is questionable. Brandon Williams and Charles Bassey are probable.

    • Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Brandin Podziemski were inactive and did not dress. The host described the designation as injury/illness, without saying which applied to which player. at 1:56
    • Host opinion: Curry, Green and Podziemski are three of the team's four best players, and the fourth is a rookie. at 2:11
    • Host hope: Melton will have less ball-handling responsibility once Podziemski and Curry are back. at 7:56

    • Host's view: late-game offensive options are thin. If Curry misses, Brandin Podziemski is next, then maybe an unnamed rookie or De'Anthony Melton. at 19:53
    • Brandin Podziemski took some forced shots down the stretch. The host wants to say he missed two or three in the last three minutes, plus a turnover. His stats would have looked much better before the final 3:47. at 24:15
    • Brandin Podziemski largely drove both big comebacks while Curry was on the bench, and hit big shots. at 24:44
    • Podziemski's line Brandin Podziemski: 18 points, 3 assists, 3 steals and a block. The host believes he also drew two offensive fouls. at 25:04
    • Host's view: Brandin Podziemski is currently the team's second-best player and second go-to option. That role is above what he should handle on a competitive team. at 25:55
    • Host says Brandin Podziemski is often handed late-clock possessions ("hand grenades") with about three seconds left. He calls him the best offensive connector on the floor. at 26:49
    • Host's analysis: Kerr loves Brandin Podziemski for doing the little things, and that is why he will keep playing. at 27:41
    • Brandin Podziemski makes about $22M a year, and the host calls the deal about right. He mentions critics calling "$110 million" crazy. at 29:08
    • Host says Brandin Podziemski and Joe Lacob said things that set expectations badly and annoyed people. No specifics are given. at 25:29

    • Charlie Walter: Host analysis: getting Brandin Podziemski back is important. Someone who scores about 17 a night is better than Melton, who the host suggests scored zero. at 34:04

    • Host prediction: the opening-night starters will be Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Yaxel Lendeborg, Gui Santos and Draymond Green. He puts it at '99%' unless there is something to worry about with Curry. at 7:09
    • Host prediction: Yaxel Lendeborg could average 17-18 points. He sketches Curry at 26, Yaxel at 19 and Brandin Podziemski at about 16 as the top three scorers until Jimmy Butler returns. at 14:40

    • Luca Evans (reported): Lendeborg was set to guard Luka Doncic in the latest preseason game before Doncic sat. The plan is for him to take bigger wing scorers so Podziemski can guard Austin Reaves-type players. Luca expects playing next to Draymond to help Lendeborg's defensive growth. at 23:56
    • Charlie Walter: The host says the Warriors extended Podziemski and estimates they will have roughly $55-60M in cap space next year. at 26:42

    • Matt Kolsky: A host said Curry, Podziemski, Yaxel Lendeborg and Santos are obviously part of the core rotation. at 4:24
    • Matt Kolsky: A host said Podziemski is 'clearly being told' to take early-shot-clock threes and that everyone on the team is being told to shoot when open. This is the host's inference, not a quoted coach statement. The team finished 14 of 50. at 23:12
    • The hosts said the team lacks two-way players and that Podziemski or Melton may be its best two-way player, which they called not the answer you want. at 32:04

    The host's rotation rule for when Curry sits: one of Brandon Williams, Curry or Yaxel Lendeborg should be on the floor at all times. He adds that Brandin Podziemski can also help.
