Lonzo Ball (groin) to come off Pelicans' bench Thursday versus Trail Blazers
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball (groin) will play off the bench Thursday versus the Phoenix Suns.
What It Means:
Ball missed nearly two weeks with a right adductor strain, so the Pelicans are going to have him come off the bench. That suggests Ball may be on some sort of minutes limit. Frank Jackson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker figure to see fewer minutes with Ball back in the rotation.
numberFire's models project Lonzo for 27.1 FanDuel points on Thursday. He's priced at $6,900.
