Elfrid Payton (hamstring) fine, starting for Knicks Thursday

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Washington Wizards.

What It Means:

Payton was previously considered probable due to a sore hamstring. He will be joined by Frank Ntilikina in the backcourt in place of Reggie Bullock (ankle).

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.
