Blazers' Moe Harkless will not have his minutes restricted in Game 3

Portland Trail Blazers forward Moe Harkless will not have a minutes restriction against the New Orleans Pelicans in Game 3.

What It Means:

Coach Terry Stotts said that he would monitor Harkless, but with Evan Turner out and an 0-2 series hole, it would be shocking to see Harkless play fewer than 30 minutes tonight.

Just having Moe in the lineup is huge for Portland. They average 2.7 more points per game, and their winning percentage is 4.5% higher when he plays. We project him for 18.4 FanDuel points tonight, a number which should climb if he's confirmed as the starter.
