Payne posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in only 12 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-99 loss to the Timberwolves. The veteran guard let the ball fly whenever he was on the court, continuing a hot streak that has seen Payne drain multiple threes in four straight games and score in double digits in four of the last five. He's averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 threes, 1.6 boards, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals in just 12.4 minutes a contest over the latter stretch while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (13-for-26) from beyond the arc, but his limited role on the Knicks' bench will make it challenging for him to keep contributing at this level.

Cameron Payne Player Profile
Career History
Cameron Payne Latest News
Instant offense off bench
Payne posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in only 12 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-99 loss to the Timberwolves. The veteran guard let the ball fly whenever he was on the court, continuing a hot streak that has seen Payne drain multiple threes in four straight games and score in double digits in four of the last five. He's averaged 12.6 points, 2.6 threes, 1.6 boards, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals in just 12.4 minutes a contest over the latter stretch while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent (13-for-26) from beyond the arc, but his limited role on the Knicks' bench will make it challenging for him to keep contributing at this level.
Solid outing in win Sunday
Payne finished Sunday's 140-106 victory over the Bucks with 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 14 minutes. Payne led the Knicks' bench in scoring, reaching the double-digit mark in points for the first time since Dec. 23. Moreover, the 30-year-old finished as the club's third-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (44 points), who played limited minutes due to a shoulder injury, and Karl-Anthony Towns (30 points). With Brunson's status for Monday's game against Detroit up in the air, Payne could see increased run during the second half of the club's back-to-back set.
Efficient in limited minutes
Payne produced 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal across 15 minutes during Friday's 126-101 loss to the Thunder. Payne made the most of his minutes Friday, as he reached the 15-minute plateau and scored in double digits off the bench for the first time since Dec. 23. The Knicks tend to give heavy minutes to their starters, however, so Payne won't be a factor in most fantasy formats as long as he remains on the bench due to his limited playing time.
Flirts with double-double in start
Payne registered eight points (2-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 119-103 win over the Jazz. Payne was a late addition to the starting lineup, replacing Miles McBride (hamstring) who himself was slated to start in place of Jalen Brunson (calf). Although it was a quiet offensive night for Payne, he was productive in other areas, helping the Knicks to a comfortable victory. Should Brunson and McBride be forced to the sideline again, look for Payne to once again shift into the opening unit.
Last-second starter
Payne will start Wednesday's game against Utah, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. The Knicks' initial starting lineup featured Miles McBride at the point guard position, but the team will turn to Payne instead. It's unclear if McBride will be available off the bench, but Payne should see plenty of action considering Jalen Brunson (calf) is sidelined. Payne is averaging 10.3 points, 3.4 assists and 1.7 rebounds in games during which he logs at least 15 minutes.
Pops for season-high 19 points
Payne ended with 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 139-125 win over Toronto. Payne popped for a season-high 19 points off the bench during the blowout win, picking up some of the slack left behind by Jalen Brunson's 12 points in New York's starting lineup. Over his last eight games, Payne is averaging 7.4 points, 2.4 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers in 14.5 minutes as the Knicks' backup floor general. The 30-year-old point guard remains off most fantasy radars while Brunson is healthy, so managers in the majority of leagues shouldn't be looking to add Payne from waiver wires despite Monday's scoring outburst.
Will play vs. Toronto
Payne (elbow) is available for Monday's game against the Raptors, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports. Payne missed the Knicks' last two games due to a left elbow effusion, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to play Monday and will serve as the primary backup at point guard behind Jalen Brunson. Across his 10 outings prior to the injury, Payne averaged 9.7 points, 3.6 assists and 2.0 rebounds over 20.0 minutes per game.
Deemed questionable for Monday
Payne (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game against Toronto, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Payne is in danger of missing a third consecutive matchup due to a left elbow effusion. If the veteran guard is sidelined, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time off the bench.
Won't play Saturday vs. Pistons
Payne (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Detroit, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports. Payne is dealing with left elbow effusion, and it's serious enough for him to be sidelined Saturday. Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride are slated to see more minutes off the bench due to Payne's absence. Payne's next chance to play will be Monday against the Raptors.
