Wizards insert Bradley Beal into the starting five
Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal is back in starting lineup for Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
It's his first start since December 9. He played 29 minutes on Wednesday, and Washington should keep increasing his load tonight. Beal's scoring efficiency has been very good lately despite his triples not dropping, so he might be in for a nice night against the subpar perimeter defense of the 76ers. Beal's return to the starting lineup means less run for Garrett Temple.
Beal checks in 103rd with a -3.0 nERD. He's played 26 games and is averaging 18.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.5 3-pointers in 32.1 minutes of action. His 51.7 Effective Field Goal Percentage is a career high.
