What changed

Last season (2025-26)
Points+7.4Probably real

Payton II's scoring is up 7.4 points a game over his 27 games since Feb 5 (12.2 vs 4.7). The likely reason: Jimmy Butler (31 MPG before) missed all 31 games, plus 1 more key player out. Also playing time: his minutes went from 12.6 to 20.9 a game. Probably real: about 75% should hold.
