Impact Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is attempting to mix up lineup combinations, which will lead to Payton earning his first start since Jan.13. Although most of Payton's starts have come when the Warriors were shorthanded, he has been much more effective when in the starting lineup. The 29-year-old has averaged 11.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 24.7 minutes when starting compared to just 5.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists across 14.8 minutes when coming off the bench.
