Knicks' Cameron Payne: 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 per 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.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: 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.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: 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.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: 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.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: 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.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: 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.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: 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.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: 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.

Payne (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Detroit, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Questionable for Saturday
Payne (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
The floor general was held out of Thursday's game against the Hornets and was initially listed as day-to-day, so it's not surprising to see him getting a questionable tag. Even if he's deemed available, Payne isn't expected to have a lot of fantasy upside. He's averaging just 8.2 points, 3.4 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game this season.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Considered day-to-day
Payne (elbow), who was held out of Thursday's game against the Hornets, is being labeled as day-to-day, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Coach Tom Thibodeau stated after the game that the team will see how Payne feels Friday morning, but it sounds like he'll have a chance to play in Saturday's matchup against Detroit if all goes well over the next few days. Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek would continue to benefit from a playing time standpoint until Payne gets the green light to return.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Dealing with elbow effusion
Payne is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte due to a left elbow effusion.
Payne is dealing with the buildup of fluids in his elbow joint, putting his status in jeopardy for Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old has appeared in 12 consecutive contests and is raining in 49.1 percent of 4.4 threes per game over that span, so his elbow has yet to cause performance-related issues

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Adds 11 points off bench
Payne logged 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-106 loss to the Jazz.
Payne led the New York bench in scoring with a strong showing from beyond the arc. He's enjoyed an expanded role for this Knicks team of late due to the absence of Miles McBride (knee), as Payne has averaged 26.7 minutes over his previous three appearances after averaging 15.4 minutes across his first nine games of the 2024-25 campaign.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Shines in expanded role Monday
Payne racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt), two rebounds and seven assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 134-106 win over the Wizards.
Payne scored a season-high mark Monday, and the 23-minute output was also a direct reflection of the blowout nature of the game as New York cruised to a 28-point win. Payne is finding ways to remain productive and has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings off the bench. However, he's still not playing enough to be valuable in fantasy as anything more than a potential streaming option. Regardless, Payne should continue to operate as the primary backup point guard until Miles McBride (knee/illness) is cleared to suit up again.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will play Friday
Payne (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Nets, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
As expected, Payne has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up for a third consecutive contest following a four-game absence due to the hamstring injury. Miles McBride (illness) will be sidelined, so Payne and Tyler Kolek are candidates for increased roles off the bench.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Probable for Friday
Payne is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Nets due to a left hamstring strain.
Payne has been a mainstay on the injury report while dealing with a lingering hamstring injury, though he has been able to play through the injury in two straight outings. The 31-year-old has appeared in seven regular-season games, during which he has averaged 6.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds across 14.7 minutes per game. If Payne is unable to play, Tyler Kolek will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Payne totaled 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two assists, one block and three steals in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 loss to the Bulls.
Payne's efficient outside shooting helped him tie his season high in points with 11. The 30-year-old guard also recorded three steals Wednesday after tallying three total on the year beforehand. Payne is averaging 6.0 points, 3.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 14.7 minutes across his seven appearances in 2024-25.
