Larry Nance Jr. replacing Kevin Love (Achilles) in Cavaliers' Wednesday lineup
Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Larry Nance Jr. is starting on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Nance is making the start in place of Kevin Love, who is dealing with a "mild" sore Achilles. He averaged 13.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 1.3 3-pointers in six previous starts this season, though those came without Andre Drummond on the roster.
numberFire's models project Nance for 35.9 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He costs $4,500, making Nance a potentially strong value option. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Cavaliers-Hawks game has the second-highest over/under on Wednesday's 11-game slate (234.5 points).
