Evan Turner (toe) is questionable to play in Game 4 for Portland
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Evan Turner (toe) is questionable to play on Game 4 versus the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
With Moe Harkless questionable as well, the Blazers could be faced with Shabazz Napier and Pat Connaughton playing heavy minutes as the club tries to extend their season. Turner sat out on Thursday with Harkless starting at small forward.
Our models project Turner for 16.9 FanDuel points if he can play on Saturday.
Blazers' Moe Harkless (knee) is questionable for Game 4
Portland Trail Blazers forward Moe Harkless is questionable for Game 4 against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
He had knee surgery in March, so he could be dealing with complications from that. Evan Turner is also questionable, which would leave the Blazers shorthanded on Saturday. Terry Stotts will have an interesting lineup decision to make.
Harkless started for the injured Evan Turner on Saturday, playing 26 minutes and finishing with only 5 points on 2-of-8 shooting.
Bucks' Tony Snell will head back to the bench on Friday
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Tony Snell will come off the bench on Friday night against the Boston Celtics.
Snell started Games 1 and 2, both losses for Milwaukee. Malcolm Brogdon will get the start for Snell tonight as the Bucks look to get a win and stay competitive in the series.
Snell rarely offers much fantasy upside, despite his usual heavy workload. He has averaged just 13.3 FanDuel points in 27.4 minutes per game this season. We project him for 12.2 FanDuel points tonight.
Stephen Curry (knee) out at least one more week for Golden State
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) continues to progress in his rehab from a left MCL sprain and will be re-evaluated in one week, per Marc J. Spears of ESPN.
With the Dubs up 3-0 in their series with the San Antonio Spurs, they would likely not start their second-round series until next weekend. That leaves Curry a good chance of being ready to go in the Western Conference Semifinals against (likely) the New Orleans Pelicans. Andre Iguodala and Quinn Cook will continue to eat up the minutes at the point in Game 4 on Sunday.
Curry averaged 26.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game in an injury-filled season where the guard missed over 30 games.
Malcolm Brogdon joining the Bucks' starting lineup in place of Tony Snell for Game 3
Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon is joining the starting lineup for game 3 versus the Boston Celtics.
The Bucks are looking to avoid falling into a 0-3 hole on Friday and smartly have added the reigning Rookie of the Year to the starting five. Brogdon has shot well in the series, going 11-for-20 for an average of 13.0 points in 25.5 minutes per game. Tony Snell heads to the bench.
Our models project Brogdon for 21.3 FanDuel points in 27.1 minutes in Game 3.
Tyler Zeller will start at center for Bucks in Game 3
Milwaukee Bucks center Tyler Zeller will draw the start in Game 3 against the Boston Celtics.
This had been expected given John Henson's doubtful status leading up to tonight. With Henson out, Zeller will start and should see at least 25 minutes of playing time.
Zeller is only $3,500 on FanDuel tonight. We project him for 21.8 FanDuel points, which would return a value of 6.23 points per $1,000 salary.
