Elfrid Payton is listed on the NBA injury report as doubtful with right hamstring soreness. After starting the first 32 games of the 2020-21 season, Payton has missed three games in a row with this injury. Rose started all three of those games.

That leaves Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett, Frank Ntilikina, and Austin Rivers as the point guard options. Quickley and Ntilikina have been manning the second unit during Payton’s absence.
