What It Means:

With Noel on the sidelines Wednesday night, Jahlil Okafor and Ish Smith will see some increased opportunity on offense, and Jerami Grant will look to build off his 17-point, 11-rebound outing from Monday. Grant is going to draw a favorable matchup tonight, so he's someone to consider in DFS. Noel should be good to go after the All-Star break.

Noel is inside the top 100 with a -1.5 nERD through 46 games this season while receiving 29.3 minutes a night. He's averaging 10.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.6 blocks per game on a 53.3 Effective Field Goal Percentage, which dwarfs last year's 46.2 clip.
