New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Payne has missed the last four games with a hamstring strain. He'll get a chance to make an impact against his former team on Tuesday, but he hasn't been productive while active. He's averaged just 5.6 PPG and is only shooting 36.4% from the field. Fantasy managers may need to approach Payne's active status with caution before putting him in their lineups. A better DFS option may be Miles McBride who has averaged 11.2 PPG this season.
New York Knicks point guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday night's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Payne is dealing with a hamstring strain that has caused him to miss the last four games. With fellow guard Miles McBride also listed as questionable there may be more pressure for Payne to make his return. The 30-year-old has only averaged 5.6 PPG on a 36.4% field goal percentage, making him a very risky start for fantasy managers if he is able to go. Should neither Payne or McBride be able to suit up, expect rookie Tyler Kolek to get more bench minutes. Kolek should be considered a very volatile fantasy option given his limited minutes this season, though he has been efficient when taking shots (69.2% field goal percentage).
New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. Payne missed his first game of the season on Monday versus Houston due to a hamstring strain. The veteran has averaged 15.4 minutes as a backup in New York, posting 5.6 points and 3.2 assists. Tyler Kolek gets more of a look in the rotation without Payne, but he doesn't provide anything for fantasy managers. Miles McBride also has a chance to play more. However, he was a massive disappointment against the Rockets, with a 0-for-9 effort from the field and zero points across 26 minutes.
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Cameron Payne will join the starting unit for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, replacing Buddy Hield. The veteran is getting his third start in four games after previously filling in for Kyle Lowry and Nicolas Batum. He starts on the backcourt alongside Lowry this time, with Hield set to lead the second unit. Together with his time in Milwaukee, Payne has made five starts across the season, amassing a respectable 14.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in the role. Hield began the campaign as a bench piece in Indiana, so the role isn't anything new for him, and he should still get plenty of action off the pine.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Cameron Payne (illness) will suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Nets. He has been under the weather and didn't play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, leaving the arena before opening tip to get some rest. Under usual circumstances, Payne wouldn't see much attention from the fantasy community. But with Tyrese Maxey (head) sidelined after being diagnosed with a mild concussion, Payne should draw plenty of interest. The 29-year-old has averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in three starts this year, and he'll make a fantastic value option for DFS participants.
