Magic's Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will play Wednesday after missing eight straight games
Orlando Magic guard Elfrid Payton will return Wednesday against the New York Knicks after missing the last eight games.
What It Means:
Payton has only played two games this season because of a hamstring injury, and his return couldn't come soon enough with the injury to D.J. Augustin. Shelvin Mack should move back to the bench assuming Payton starts, and Jonathon Simmons will likely see less time with the ball in his hands.
Our models project Payton for 28.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $7,400 against the Knicks.
