Payton (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game in Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Payton is on track to return from a two-game absence Saturday, which could result in fewer minutes for Pat Spencer and LJ Cryer. Check back for official confirmation on Payton's status closer to Saturday's tip.

Payton (ankle) won't play Thursday against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Payton (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Payton (ankle) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Payton was considered a game-time call for Monday due to a left ankle issue, and the Warriors have since downgraded him to out. His absence should result in more opportunity for De'Anthony Melton and Pat Spencer in the backcourt.

Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Payton is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 30 due to a left ankle impingement. If the veteran guard joins Stephen Curry (knee) and Will Richard (ankle) on the sidelines, Pat Spencer and De'Anthony Melton would be candidates for increased minutes, while Nate Williams could enter the rotation.

Payton logged 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 133-112 win over Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
The Warriors were extremely shorthanded for the second leg of this back-to-back set, allowing Payton to step into an expanded role on the offensive side of things. Fantasy managers will not want to chase this line, however, as it has the makings of an obvious outlier.

Payton registered 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 19 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 101-97 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
The 15 points represented Payton's best scoring effort since he dropped 19 points on the Pelicans back on Nov. 29, while the three made three-pointers were a season high. The veteran guard had gone 10 straight appearances without scoring in double digits prior to Thursday, however, and even with Stephen Curry (knee) spotting in and out of the lineup of late, there doesn't seem to be a consistent role for Payton.

EDGE Analysis
As expected, Payton will shake off his probable tag Wednesday due to a right calf contusion. Over his last 10 outings, the 33-year-old has averaged 5.4 points and 3.1 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game.
