What It Means:

Randle has come off the bench for each of his three games this season, and Walton has said that Randle's bench role is "not about whoever being better or playing better, it's about what units play well," indicating that Randle's success with the second unit isn't likely to lead to a move into the starting lineup in the near future.

Randle is averaging only 9.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.3 minutes per game this season, but numberFire's models project him for 30.2 FanDuel points on 13.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 28.1 minutes against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.
