Thunder's Steven Adams (back) questionable for Tuesday's opener

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (lower back stiffness) is being listed as questionable for Tuesday's season opener against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

The information needs to be taken with a grain of salt as it comes from the game notes, which have been wrong plenty of times before. Adams doesn't have a history of back troubles, leaving the big man likely to play through any minor discomfort on Tuesday night. His status will be much more apparent after the morning shootaround.

Our models project Adams for 13.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks for 32.2 FanDuel points on Tuesday. That would bring 4.7x value with his $6,900 price tag against the Warriors.
