Payton registered 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 21 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 123-114 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran guard came close to his second double-double of the season, with the first coming Nov. 29 against the Pelicans. Payton has been a consistent part of the Warriors' backcourt rotation of late, seeing double-digit minutes in eight straight games and averaging 6.6 points, 3.6 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.3 combined steals and blocks in 14.1 minutes a contest.

Payton registered six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 15 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 victory over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Payton led the Warriors' bench in assists while surpassing his season averages of 4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists during his 29th appearance of the campaign. Payton is currently relegated to a second-unit role behind Stephen Curry and Moses Moody, so his production may continue to come from a few all-around stats with low playing time.

Payton (illness) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Payton will return from a one-game absence due to illness. With Pat Spencer (out), Payton could see a few extra minutes. Payton has played fewer than five minutes in three of his last four games.

Payton (illness) will not play Sunday against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Payton is a fringe rotation player for Golden State, so his absence won't make many waves in fantasy hoops.

Payton is being listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Portland due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Payton is feeling a bit under the weather, but he'll likely go through his pregame routine before an official decision is made, essentially making him a game-time call Sunday. If Payton can't give it a go, De'Anthony Melton might see a marginal uptick in minutes.

Payton provided six points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three steals and one assist across 27 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 victory over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

After logging just three minutes in Thursday's loss to Philadelphia, Payton saw increased playing time with multiple key contributors sidelined. While he struggled on find his rhythm on the offensive end, the 33-year-old recorded a game- and season-high three steals. The veteran swingman has seen 20-plus minutes in three of the team's last four games, averaging 9.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 20.5 minutes per contest during that span.

Payton provided 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds and three assists over 25 minutes during Saturday's 104-96 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Payton made the most of his minutes off the bench to record a double-double while also ending as the Warriors' second-best scorer. He's not expected to produce at this rate on a steady basis, though, so this performance may have been just an outlier for Payton. This was the first time he recorded double-digit points and/or rebounds in a game this season, and it was also just the second time he logged more than 20 minutes in a single contest.

Payton (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Payton sprained his ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets, though he'll return to action Saturday. Over his last five appearances (one start), the veteran swingman has averaged 5.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 14.4 minutes per contest. However, he could see a dip in minutes with Jonathan Kuminga (knee) back in action.

Payton (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Payton exited Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to a sprained left ankle, but the probable tag suggests the guard should be able to suit up Saturday. Payton doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside outside of the deep leagues, though, averaging 3.1 points and 2.8 boards across 11.1 minutes per game in 19 contests (one start) this season.

Payton will not return to Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to a sprained left ankle, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Payton lasted only five minutes before rolling his ankle, so he'll end his evening with one rebound, one assist and one turnover. For now, Payton should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
