Elfrid Payton struggles again in Suns' loss
Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton scored 6 points (3-of-13 field goals) with 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 3 turnovers in 29.8 minutes of Thursday's 115-87 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Payton is now a combined 6-for-23 over the past two games and hasn't topped 38.5 percent from the field in four straight. That said, he's still contributing with rebounds, assists, and steals, so look for that to continue on Saturday versus the Charlotte Hornets.
Payton scored 24.0 FanDuel points on Thursday, compared to his average of 31.2 FanDuel points per game for the season.
