Pistons' Stanley Johnson (back) uncertain for Friday night
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson did not participate in morning shoot around and is uncertain for Friday night's game, reports The Detroit News' Rob Beard.
What It Means:
Yesterday, Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said Johnson was experiencing back spasms late in Wednesday's season opener. Whether he was all game or not is unknown but he certainly struggled, as he shot 0-for-13 from the field in 40 minutes. If it's announced that he's out, Jon Leuer could start at power forward with Tobias Harris moving to small forward and Henry Ellenson backing up Leuer off the Detroit bench.
Despite his poor shooting, Johnson posted 20.3 FanDuel points at $3,900. Now priced at $4,500, we project Johnson for less minutes (32.3) but more production (24.5 FanDuel points) if he's a go for tonight's game.
