1 month agoThe Charlotte Hornets have signed guard
Elfrid Payton to a second 10-day contract. Previously, Payton had a stint with the New Orleans Pelicans before landing with the Hornets shortly before the All-Star break. Payton started for the Hornets during their final game before the break with
LaMelo Ball (ankle) being sidelined. The 30-year-old finished with four points, four rebounds, and seven assists in 30 minutes of action. It appears that was enough for the Hornets to give Payton another look through the rest of the month. He figures to play a role behind Ball in the rotation, but it probably won't be enough to warrant rostering him in most fantasy formats.

Elfrid Payton will start against the Kings on Sunday night.
Chris Paul (thumb) won't be back anytime soon, and
Cameron Payne (illness) is dealing with a non-COVID-sickness, so Payton will be in line to get some extra work. However, despite the increase in minutes,
Aaron Holiday may be the more attractive fantasy option as the leader of the team's second unit.

Elfrid Payton has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Payton is back in protocols after coming back on Monday. He didn't exactly have a huge role when healthy anyway.
Cameron Payne will see more minutes in his absence. He could be a low-end streaming option, but there are probably better options available in most formats.
