Gary Payton News: Starting in Game 6

Payton is in the starting lineup for Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Rockets on Friday, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

Payton is in the starting lineup since the Warriors will look to add a bit more muscle and toughness on the defensive end. This means Brandin Podziemski will come off the bench and log minutes with the second unit.
