• Knicks' Cameron Payne: Shines in expanded role Monday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Payne racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 134-106 win over the Wizards. Payne scored a season-high mark Monday, and the 23-minute output was also a direct reflection of the blowout nature of the game as New York cruised to a 28-point win. Payne is finding ways to remain productive and has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings off the bench. However, he's still not playing enough to be valuable in fantasy as anything more than a potential streaming option. Regardless, Payne should continue to operate as the primary backup point guard until Miles McBride (knee/illness) is cleared to suit up again.

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Payne is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Nets due to a left hamstring strain. Payne has been a mainstay on the injury report while dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, though he has been able to play through the injury in two straight outings. The 31-year-old has appeared in seven regular-season games, during which he has averaged 6.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds across 14.7 minutes per game. If Payne is unable to play, Tyler Kolek will likely see an uptick in playing time.
