Gary Payton II fuels Warriors with 26 points in win over Blazers
by Joel E. Ruffin Jr. | Warriors Correspondent | Tue, Mar 11th 10:21am EDT
Gary Payton II totaled 26 points (11-16 FG, 4-6 3PT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in the Warriors’ 130-120 win over the Trail Blazers.
Fantasy Impact:
Payton continues to thrive in Golden State’s post-superteam era, providing valuable two-way production. While his scoring outbursts can be inconsistent, he consistently finds ways to contribute across multiple categories. His ability to impact the game on both ends makes him a valuable fantasy option when given extended minutes, but his role fluctuates enough to make him a tough asset to trust in standard leagues. If he can maintain this level of play while staying healthy, he could solidify himself as a core piece of the Warriors' rotation. He’ll look to build on this strong performance against the Kings.
