JaKarr Sampson starting, Jerami Grant to the Sixers' bench

Philadelphia 76ers small forward JaKarr Samspon will return to the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, sending Jerami Grant back to the bench.

What It Means:

Sampson has fluctuated in and out of the starting five all season, but he's irrelevant in all leagues regardless of his role with the team. Ish Smith, Nik Stauskas, Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor will join Sampson in the starting lineup for tonight's game against the Hawks.

Sampson has a -3.9 nERD this season, 115th in the league. Our models project him to have 7.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 20.6 minutes tonight.
