Otto Porter Jr., Gary Payton II Join Starting Five Thursday
3 years agoGolden State Warriors small/power forward Otto Porter Jr. and point/shooting guard Gary Payton II are both in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against the Grizzlies. Porter's start will be his first of the year, filling in with Andrew Wiggins (health and safety protocols) and Andre Iguodala (knee) unavailable. Porter's offensive rating has dipped considerably during seven December outings, but he still offers DFS upside with Golden State needing to find added scoring. Payton's start will be his second this year, taking over for Jordan Poole (health and safety protocols). Much like Porter, he boasts DFS appeal due to a perceived usage increase, while having combined for 25 points and five steals in his last two outings.
