Cameron Payne Probable Thursday
Cameron Payne (concussion) appears ready to return to action, with the team listing him as probable for Thursday's marquee matchup against Boston. The veteran guard missed Monday's clash with Utah, after landing in concussion protocol. However, Payne practiced on Wednesday and should resume his normal duties as the backup point guard to Damian Lillard. Payne has averaged 6.1 points and 2.4 assists in 15.5 minutes for the year.

Cameron Payne Questionable Versus Atlanta
Cameron Payne (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Hawks. Payne had been filling in at the one spot in place of Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (pelvis). Unfortunately, he sprained his ankle in the March 26 matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers and has missed the last four games. Brunson has a chance to suit up on Saturday after missing nearly a month. Yet, if Brunson remains on the shelf and Payne can play, the latter would be worth considering for fantasy purposes, especially if he starts over Delon Wright.

Cameron Payne Ruled Out On Sunday
Cameron Payne (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against Portland, marking his second-straight absence. Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) are also out, so the Knicks may continue to rely on Delon Wright, who had 12 points in Friday's win over the Bucks, to fill the hole in the starting lineup. Landry Shamet, who had 13 points in that one, and Tyler Kolek should also see some meaningful minutes from off the bench.

Cameron Payne Tagged As Questionable On Monday
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.

Cameron Payne Misses Second Consecutive Game
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.
