Elfrid Payton struggles as Suns are obliterated by Heat
Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton scored 9 points (3-of-10 field goals, 3-of-5 free throws) with 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, and 2 turnovers in 24.3 minutes of Monday's 125-103 loss to the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
After triple-doubling in the previous outing, Payton struggled to produce in an ugly outing for the Suns. He wound up getting an early hook due to the lopsided score. Look for him to improve on Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Payton scored just 19.0 FanDuel points on Monday, a far cry from his average of 31.3 FanDuel points per game for the season.
