Previously with the Warriors:

While the Warriors picked up another win with a 109–106 victory over the Brooklyn

Nets on Wednesday night, it didn’t come easy. Despite having the rare talent advantage over an injured and tanking Brooklyn team, Golden State found itself trailing by nine points heading into the fourth quarter. To Brooklyn’s credit, they took advantage of a travel-worn Warriors group that, as head coach Steve Kerr pointed out, had played in seven different cities over the past 11 days.

Fortunately, the Warriors had Gui Santos to keep them afloat, as he led the team with a career-high 31 points after returning to a starting role. Behind Santos, Golden State outscored the Nets 32–20 in the fourth quarter to secure the win in regulation.

What to watch for tonight:

Gary Payton II has quietly been one of the most efficient players on the team over the past several games. He shot a perfect 5-of-5 from the field on Wednesday night, 8-of-8 on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks, and made his last three shots the game prior to that against the Detroit Pistons. He has now made 16 consecutive field goals and is just three shy of tying the Warriors’ franchise record of 19 straight, set by Wilt Chamberlain.

Payton should have a strong opportunity to reach that milestone against a Wizards team he had success against just over a week ago. He went 7-of-10 from the field for 15 points in that matchup and now faces the Wizards again after they have lost nine of their last 10 games.
