Elfrid Payton On Track To Miss Third-Straight Contest
4 years agoNew York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful against the Pistons. With a third-straight absence seemingly likely, the 27-year-old may find himself sitting past the All-Star break while he continues to work his way back from right hamstring soreness. In his place, look for Derrick Rose to draw the start against his former team on Sunday night, with the veteran scoring at least 17 points in each contest during Payton's time off. Immanuel Quickley may also see an uptick in productions, although that isn't a guarantee, making him a risky option in all formats.
