New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton is in the lineup Thursday in the team's game against the Detroit Pistons.
Payton was originally listed as doubtful to play, but he was upgraded to questionable earlier on game day. That upgrade in status was telling of his eventual game status, as he'll be active. And that active tag is coming with a spot in the starting five, demoting Frank Ntilikina to a bench role.
Our models project Payton for 10.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 19.7 FanDuel points across 23.6 minutes of action.
