Delon Wright is Questionable for Friday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice and remains questionable for Friday's contest against the Boston Celtics.

Cameron Payne Will Start on Thursday

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will draw the start at point guard against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Kris Dunn (personal) is not available for this one, so Payne will get the emergency start. Payne could be a cheap DFS option, but he didn't play overly well last season.
