What It Means:

As he continues to recover from a strained hamstring, Payton failed to go through shootaround this morning and could be more doubtful to play given his lack of participation. He most recently experienced tightness in his hamstring on Tuesday, according to coach Frank Vogel. In the event that he returns, Shelvin Mack would play fewer minutes as Evan Fournier and Jonathon Simmons carry less of a play-making burden.

if he's able to give it a go, Payton is projected for 11.3 points, 6.7 assists and 28.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $7,400 against the Knicks.
