Norman Powell starting for Raptors Wednesday
Toronto Raptors shooting guard Norman Powell is starting in place of center Jakob Poeltl against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday.
What It Means:
This bumps forward DeMarre Carroll to the four, which makes sense against a smaller frontcourt man in Charlotte's Marvin Williams. Powell is expected to be more about his defense and not so much on offense, so he's not a great pickup here. Plus, Serge Ibaka will be starting once he's available.
Powell projects for 10.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 16.9 FanDuel points tonight on 22.9 minutes.
