Shabazz Napier replacing Ish Smith in Wizards' Wednesday lineup
Washington Wizards point guard Shabazz Napier is replacing Ish Smith in Wednesday's starting lineup against the Brooklyn Nets.
What It Means:
Wizards head coach Scott Brooks said before last game that he was considering moving Ish Smith back to the bench. Napier then poured in a season-high 27 points (10-of-17 field goals, 4-of-5 free throws), adding 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 3 3-pointers. It will be Napier's first start for the Wizards.
numberFire's models expect Napier to score 27.0 FanDuel points in 27.4 minutes on Wednesday. He's priced at $4,300.
