Bucks' Gary Payton II will start with Tony Snell (knee) sitting Friday against the Mavericks
Per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Matt Velazquez, Milwaukee Bucks guard Gary Payton will start in place of the injured Tony Snell on Friday night.
What It Means:
Snell's experiencing left patellar tendinitis so he'll rest on Friday. Payton will be making his third start of the year. He's played just over eight minutes per game in his previous starts. Rashad Vaughn could be in for some extra run off the bench with Payton's role as a placeholder of sorts.
At $3,500, Payton is averaging 3.9 FanDuel points on 6.4 minutes per this season.
