Elfrid Payton probable for Knicks Thursday with sore hammy
New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton is probable to play Thursday versus the Washington Wizards due to a sore left hamstring.
What It Means:
Payton played 21 minutes on Tuesday in his return to action and the Knicks aren't on a back-to-back, so he should be fine for Thursday's matchup. Derrick Rose has cleared COVID-19 protocols but he has still been working on his conditioning and the Knicks haven't indicated whether he's ready to return to game action yet.
numberFire’s models project Payton for 21.2 FanDuel points versus the Wizards and he has a salary of $5,200 on Thursday’s five-game slate. The Wizards are allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points to the point guard position over their last seven games.
