While it was known that others would have to step up with Stephen Curry unavailable, few would have expected Payton to be among them. GPII had his best game of the season against the Pelicans, hitting double figures in points and rebounds for the first time. Add in the three assists, and this was an excellent night for Payton, even with him failing to record any defensive stats. One game does not make him a viable fantasy option, but he’s worth watching when the Warriors open their Week 7 against the Thunder on Tuesday.

Injured during the first half of Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets, Payton has been given the all-clear to return to action on Saturday. While Stephen Curry remains out, the Warriors will have Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga. Payton doesn’t offer much value in fantasy leagues, regardless of who’s available to play rotation minutes.

Payton exited Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets during the first half with a sprained left ankle. The time off appears to have done him some good, as the guard is considered probable for Saturday. With Stephen Curry (quad) out, there may be a few more minutes available to GPII. However, his offensive skill set is limited, so fantasy managers should not expect Payton to benefit too much.

Payton sprained his left ankle after playing five minutes during the first half. His absence doesn’t impact fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for a few of the other Warriors reserves. Gui Santos and Pat Spencer have played a few minutes, but neither player should be streamed if Payton misses time.

Payton drew a rare start in place of an injured Draymond Green, who sat out this contest with a sprained right foot, but isn’t expected to require a lengthy absence after an MRI didn’t reveal any structural damage. The eight assists were a career-high for the 32-year-old defensive specialist as he stepped into more of a facilitating role with Green out of the picture.

The Warriors are without Draymond Green (foot), their best defender by a sizable margin. To account for his absence, head coach Steve Kerr has inserted Payton II into the starting lineup. The Warriors will also start Post at center, with rookie wing Will Richard heading to the bench to free up a second spot.

We’re finally getting some resolution in Golden State. Al Horford committed to a contract earlier in the day, and now both GP2 and Melton have done the same. Rumors throughout the summer hinted at all three signing with the Warriors, but they’ve all been playing the waiting game as the team figures out what to do with Jonathan Kuminga. The verbiage implies none of them have officially signed a contract, but they’ll likely actually sign once there is a resolution on Kuminga’s situation. Melton started last season with the Warriors before tearing his ACL, and the Warriors traded him to the Nets, though he never suited up for them.
