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.

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.

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).

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.
