22 Cameron Payne PG

Payne posted two points (1-3 FG) in nine minutes during Monday's 108-107 loss to the Spurs.

Payne has seen single-digit minutes in four straight games, two of which he went scoreless in. Moreover, he hasn't reached double figures in scoring since Oct. 29, and with Kris Dunn (knee) set to go through a non-contact practice on Tuesday, Payne could soon be even more irrelevant in the team's point guard rotation.

Payne will head to the bench for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

Payne will return to the bench with Zach Lavine (illness) returning to the lineup Wednesday. Prior to getting the start in Lavine's absence on Saturday, Payne was out of the rotation and had played just 11 minutes total in his past four games. Until he gets more run, Payne isn't a viable fantasy option.

Payne will start Saturday against the Raptors, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Zach LaVine (illness) is out, so Payne will draw the start at guard. He's recently been out of the rotation. But when seeing at least 25 minutes, he's averaged 10.3 points, 3.8 assists and 1.7 steals.

Payne did not play in Saturday's win over the Cavaliers, and he's not expected to be in the rotation Monday against Dallas, Cody Westerlund of 670 The Score reports.

Payne has been a major factor in the rotation for much of the year in the wake of Kris Dunn's injury, but he was shelved Saturday in favor of Ryan Arcidiacono and Shaq Harrison. All signs point to Payne picking up another DNP-CD on Monday, as coach Fred Hoiberg confirmed to reporters Sunday that he'll stick with his current point guard rotation for the time being.

Payne will come off the bench Saturday against the Cavs, KC Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The Bulls will go with Ryan Arcidiacono at point guard Saturday, as Payne moves to bench following a game in which he played only 15 minutes in a loss to New Orleans. Payne hasn't scored more than eight points in any contest since Oct. 29.
