Payton supplied 16 points (7-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-93 loss to the Nuggets.
Payton has been a valuable role player for the Warriors over the last few seasons mainly due to his defensive versatility, but he's put himself on the fantasy radar of late thanks primarily to his increased production on the offensive end while Golden State has navigated numerous injuries. The 33-year-old has hit double figures in the scoring column in 11 straight games, averaging 14.3 points during that stretch while converting at an incredible 69 percent rate from the field. He's also chipping in 5.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 steals per game over that stretch.
