Magic will be without Elfrid Payton for Tuesday's game
Orlando Magic guard Elfrid Payton (right elbow sprain) will not play against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
What It Means:
This will be Payton's third game missed due to his injured elbow, and he has yet to practice with the team since the injury. C.J. Watson will likely get the start and is a great DFS value play on Tuesday night. Victor Oladipo will also get a slight boost.
Payton owns a nERD of -4.9 this season, which ranks him as the 31st worst player. He's averaging 10.7 points, 6.0 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game while posting a 47.7 True Shooting Percentage. We project Payton to average 11.2 points, 6.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game over the remaining course of the season while shooting 40.6 percent from the field.
