Steve Kerr isn’t changing his starting lineup from Game 4. Per Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Gary Payton II will get the starting nod along with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green.

The Golden State Warriors outscored the Los Angeles Lakers by three points in Payton’s 23 minutes in Game 4. That could’ve been more, if not for Payton apparently throwing up while on the court, having to sub himself out and limiting his first half minutes.
