Derrick Jones Jr. draws start for Heat Wednesday
Miami Heat small forward Derrick Jones Jr. is starting on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Wayne Ellington (ankle), Dion Waiters (ankle), James Johnson (hernia), and Justise Winslow (hamstring) are all sidelined for the Heat, so Jones Jr. and Rodney McGruder will join Gordan Dragic, Josh Richardson, and Hassan Whiteside in the starting five. He should play respectable minutes for the short-handed squad.
numberFire's models project Jones Jr. to score 7.5 FanDuel points at a cost of $3,500 on Wednesday.
