Elfrid Payton (hamstring) sitting again Tuesday for Knicks
New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton (sore hamstring) will not play again Tuesday versus the San Antonio Spurs.
What It Means:
Payton will be absent for a fourth consecutive game. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Payton is day-to-day and making progress, so maybe he will be able to play on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons before the Spurs leave for the All-Star break. Derrick Rose will likely start again Tuesday and Frank Ntilikina should remain involved off the bench.
The Spurs are allowing the most FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season. numberFire’s models project Rose for 33.4 FanDuel points versus the Spurs and he has a salary of $6,200 on Tuesday’s six-game slate.
