Cameron Payne DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Knicks guard Cameron Payne (elbow) is listed as questionable heading into Monday night's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. He's dealing with a left elbow issue which has caused him to miss the team's last two games. Over his last 12 games, he was seeing around 18 minutes per contest while averaging 9.3 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.9 rebounds per game. If he's unable to play, Miles McBride should see some extra minutes off of the bench. McBride posted eight points, two assists, two rebounds, one steal, and one block across 27 minutes against the Pistons with Payne out.

New York Knicks point guard Cameron Payne (elbow) is not ready to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against Detroit. A left elbow problem will keep Payne sidelined for a second consecutive game. Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek will get additional work off the bench on Saturday. The pair may also benefit from the fact that Jalen Brunson (back) is dealing with an injury and might not have a full workload. Kolek has yet to prove his worth as a rookie, but McBride has been performing well off the Knicks bench all year.

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.
