The Golden State Warriors are back home, after wrapping up a scintillating 4-1 road trip that just might have saved their season. But being home doesn’t necessarily make things easier, as the Dubs are hosting one of the most potent and dangerous teams in the NBA: the Phoenix Suns, lead by the high-scoring triumvirate of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. A triumvirate that is, at long last, mostly healthy.
But there’s huge news for the Dubs: Gary Payton II is back! Payton has been cleared to play tonight, and doesn’t even appear on the injury report.
