Pelicans' Elfrid Payton (ankle) ruled out on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

What It Means:

Payton has missed some time with an ankle injury but looks closer to a return despite being ruled out tonight. Expect Ian Clark to see more minutes until Payton returns to the Pelicans' rotation.

If Payton can play in New Orleans' next game against the Suns, our models project him for 33.1 FanDuel points.
