Payne recorded 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven assists, two rebounds, one steal and a block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 win over the Nets.
Payne filled a significant role Sunday as the team elected to bench its starters for the regular-season finale. Payne took advantage of the situation, logging a season-high 21 points and adding seven assists. The veteran guard figures to slide back into a modest reserve role to begin the Knicks' first-round playoff series against the Pistons.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will start Sunday
Rotowire
Payne will start Sunday's game against the Nets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
With Jalen Brunson (ankle), Josh Hart (knee), OG Anunoby (thumb) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) all sidelined, the Knicks will start Payne, Miles McBride, P.J. Tucker, Precious Achiuwa and Mikal Bridges, though Bridges figures to play only a few minutes to keep his consecutive games played streak going. As a starter this season (four games), Payne has averaged 9.5 points, 5.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 28.5 minutes per game.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Payne (ankle) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Suns, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Payne had missed four straight games due to an ankle sprain before he returned to action in Saturday's 121-105 win over the Hawks. He played 21 minutes in that contest, but he'll be looking at reduced role in the second leg of the back-to-back set. The Knicks will get Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) back from 15- and eight-game absences, respectively, which will leave fewer minutes available for Payne and fellow reserve guards Landry Shamet, Delon Wright and Tyler Kolek.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will likely play Sunday
Rotowire
Payne (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
After missing four straight games with a sprained right ankle, Payne returned to action Saturday, posting three points, five assists and three rebounds in 21 minutes off the bench during a 121-105 win in Atlanta. While Payne will likely suit up in the second leg of a back-to-back set, he's looking at a reduced role now that Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) are on track to return following 15- and eight-game absences, respectively.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Dishes out five assists in return
Rotowire
Payne (ankle) tallied three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five assists and three rebounds across 21 minutes in Saturday's 121-105 win over the Hawks.
Back in action after missing the previous four games with a sprained right ankle, Payne saw his streak of three consecutive starts come to an end, as the Knicks deployed him off the bench behind Delon Wright, who logged 29 minutes. When the New York backcourt was at full strength earlier this month, Payne had played ahead of Wright as the team's third-string point guard, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Knicks prioritized Payne ahead of Wright once the team is fully healthy again. Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) both practiced Friday and could return to action as soon as Sunday's game against the Suns, which would result in Payne having to sacrifice some minutes.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Coming off bench Saturday
Rotowire
Payne (ankle) is available and will come off the bench in Saturday's game versus the Hawks, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Payne had missed the Knicks' previous four contests due to a right ankle sprain. Prior to getting hurt, Payne had started three straight games and averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 26.0 minutes while Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) were out, but Delon Wright will continue to play on the top unit Saturday. Payne should still be in line for meaningful minutes as Wright's backup.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Iffy to play Saturday
Rotowire
Payne (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Payne is in jeopardy of missing his fifth consecutive contest due to a sprained right ankle. However, the 30-year-old guard is seemingly nearing a return to game action, as he was able to participate during Friday's practice. If Payne or Jalen Brunson (ankle) join Miles McBride (groin) on the sideline Saturday, Delon Wright and Tyler Kolek would continue to serve as the Knicks' main options at point guard.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Practices Friday
Rotowire
Payne (ankle) took part in practice Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Payne has missed four games in a row due to a right ankle sprain but is trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday's game versus Atlanta. Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) also practiced Friday, so the Knicks could have each of their top three point guards back in action as soon as Saturday.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Out again Wednesday
Rotowire

Payne is slated to miss a fourth straight game. He doesn't have a return timetable, but his next chance to suit up will come Saturday in Atlanta. With Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin) still out, Delon Wright should draw another start at point guard, while Tyler Kolek operates as the backup.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will remain out Tuesday
Rotowire
Payne (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Payne will miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain, and there's no word on his status for the second half of New York's upcoming back-to-back set against the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Miles McBride (groin) and Jalen Brunson (ankle) also remain out, so Delon Wright and Tyler Kolek should continue to have increased roles.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Won't return Wednesday
Rotowire
Payne has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.
Payne sustained the ankle injury during the first quarter and attempted to play through the injury. However, Tyler Kolek replaced him in the starting lineup coming out of halftime, and he's now been ruled out. Kolek should see plenty of action the rest of the way, while Delon Wright and Landry Shamet could also see an uptick in minutes. Payne's next chance to play will come Friday against Milwaukee.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Will start Saturday
Rotowire
Payne will start Saturday against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Payne will get the nod at point guard for the Knicks due to the absences of both Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin). Payne's lone start this season came on Jan. 1, when he posted eight points, nine assists, three rebounds and three steals across 36 minutes in a win over the Jazz.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Payne supplied five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists over 16 minutes during Thursday's 115-98 loss to the Hornets.
Jalen Brunson (ankle) is nearing a return for New York, as he's no longer confined to a walking boot and was able to do some light shooting Thursday.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Drops donut in loss
Rotowire
Payne amassed zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block over 10 minutes during Saturday's 97-94 loss to the Warriors.
Payne didn't score while logging fewer than 15 minutes for the ninth time in the past 10 games. Despite an ankle injury to Jalen Brunson, Payne has been unable to carve out a sizeable role. In three games since the Brunson injury, Payne is averaging just 4.0 points and 1.7 assists in 13.1 minutes.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Plays just 10 minutes
Rotowire
Payne registered three points (1-6 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes during Thursday's 113-109 overtime loss to the Lakers.
Jalen Brunson sprained his ankle during the later portions of Thursday's game, making this a situation to monitor. Miles McBride would likely be the next man up for New York if Brunson misses time, but Payne could also step into a larger role for the Knicks. Payne has been productive in limited action this season with 7.0 points, 2.7 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 14.2 minutes per contest.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Pedestrian effort off bench
Rotowire
Payne registered five points (1-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four assists over 16 minutes during Friday's 142-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
Despite the nature of Friday's rout, Payne didn't see a noticeable increase in playing time while struggling to shoot the ball off the bench. The veteran guard has averaged 7.6 points, 4.3 assists, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 three-pointers in 16.5 minutes over his last seven appearances, and Payne's fantasy value should remain capped while Jalen Brunson is healthy for the Knicks.
