Fantasy Impact:

Payton II tested positive for the virus on Thursday along with fellow teammate Thomas Bryant and as a result, the duo did not travel with the team to Orlando. Payton II and Bryant now must produce two negative tests in order to re-join the team in Orlando. With Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans already ruled out of the NBA restart and Garisson Mathews not traveling with the team due to personal reasons, the Wizards are starting to become short-handed as the NBA inches closer to resuming the season later this month. It is currently unknown whether Gary Payton II, Thomas Bryant or Garisson Mathews will attend the restart.
