Clippers' Marreese Speights and Austin Rivers will start against Denver

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Marreese Speights and guard Austin Rivers will start on Thursday against the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

It's just a spot start with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan out for tonight. Speights should have plenty of treys coming his way and he will have his hands full against Nikola Jokic. We should see some Brandon Bass behind him, as well. Mo Buckets is a solid stream or DFS play tonight in a high-scoring game, but isn't really an add beyond today.

Speights is projected for 14.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists on 28.2 minutes tonight.
