What It Means:

That pushes Isaiah Canaan and JaKarr Sampson to the bench. This is likely more of a matchup thing, so it probably doesn't hold much weight. Stauskas has been hit and miss in his last five with two great games and two horrible ones. He's still not worth owning in standard leagues.

Stauskas has a nERD this season of -8.4 (131st overall). He's averaging 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game over 33 games played (13 starts). Okafor has had a rough start to his rookie campaign, as his -7.7 nERD ranks 129th. He's averaging 17.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. We project him to average 14.2 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game over the remaining course of the season, while shooting 45.0 percent from the field.
