Payton (knee) will play and start against the Pacers on Sunday, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Payton was dealing with a minor knee injury ahead of Sunday but is apparently well enough to play. The rookie has been on a bit of a hot streak of late as he's scored in double-digits in four of his last six games, although it's possible that this knee injury may cause problems for his explosiveness Sunday.
