Cameron Payne News
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Cameron Payne will join the starting unit for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, replacing Buddy Hield. The veteran is getting his third start in four games after previously filling in for Kyle Lowry and Nicolas Batum. He starts on the backcourt alongside Lowry this time, with Hield set to lead the second unit. Together with his time in Milwaukee, Payne has made five starts across the season, amassing a respectable 14.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.2 steals in the role. Hield began the campaign as a bench piece in Indiana, so the role isn't anything new for him, and he should still get plenty of action off the pine.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Cameron Payne (illness) will suit up for Tuesday's meeting with the Nets. He has been under the weather and didn't play on Sunday against the Dallas Mavericks, leaving the arena before opening tip to get some rest. Under usual circumstances, Payne wouldn't see much attention from the fantasy community. But with Tyrese Maxey (head) sidelined after being diagnosed with a mild concussion, Payne should draw plenty of interest. The 29-year-old has averaged 13.7 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.3 steals in three starts this year, and he'll make a fantastic value option for DFS participants.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Cameron Payne (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed on Sunday's injury report heading into the meeting with the Dallas Mavericks. However, he was ruled out before opening tip and left the arena. The 29-year-old has averaged 9.7 points and 3.3 assists in nine games with the 76ers. But with Kyle Lowry now in the equation, it will be tough to trust Payne in any fantasy format.
The Philadelphia 76ers made multiple moves on Thursday in an attempt to improve their roster for a deep postseason run. On Thursday, the Sixers acquired guard Cameron Payne from the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Patrick Beverley. The expectation is that Payne is going to be the primary backup guard behind Tyrese Maxey. Payne has played well as a reserve option over the last few seasons. However, his fantasy value is going to remain limited due to the fact he'll usually be playing off the bench. There could be some streaming appeal on nights where the Sixers are shorthanded, but Payne probably won't have every-game value.
