Fantasy Impact:
With Rivers doubtful for the upcoming contest against the Warriors, look for Elfrid Payton to see an increase in minutes. This year Payton is averaging 29.1 minutes of playing time, 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 0.7 steals per game. Rookie Immanuel Quickley should see an increase in his role in the rotation as well. In his previous four games, he is averaging 21.5 minutes of playing time, 17.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 0.75 steals, and .5 blocks per contest. Quickley is a viable value play in DFS formats, and even though far down the depth chart, is worth picking up in deep-league play, as he may be able to play himself into a consistent role.
