New Orleans' Elfrid Payton (ankle) will not play on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

Payton was forced to leave Saturday's game with a right ankle sprain and did not return. With his absence, expect the Pelicans to utilize Ian Clark and Frank Jackson more on Wednesday.

Our models project the Pelicans to score 111.87 points on Wednesday against the Warriors.
