The Magic will no doubt need all hands on deck on Monday when they take on the Golden State Warriors. And it sounds as if they’ll have their starting point guard for the game.

Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports that Elfrid Payton, who was unavailable for the Magic’s 127-105 loss to the Nuggets on Saturday, is expected to play.

Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is expected to play tonight against the Warriors, Frank Vogel said.

Payton sat out against Denver to nurse a bothersome hamstring that caused him to miss eight games.
