Elfrid Payton starting for Suns Sunday in place of sick Cam Payne
Phoenix Suns guard Elfrid Payton will start Sunday in the team's game against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Cam Payne has been ruled out already due to a non-COVID illness, and he'll leave behind a vacancy in the starting five. For now, that role will go to Payton, who is stepping up into the starting point guard spot.
Our models currently project Payton for 2.9 points, 1.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 6.6 FanDuel points across 7.1 minutes of action.
