Memphis Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman will start Monday in the team's game against the Phoenix Suns.
Usual starting big Jonas Valanciunas is sidelined due to the NBA's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19, leaving a hole down low. For now, Tillman will assume the job in the starting five, playing alongside Kyle Anderson and Brandon Clarke in the frontcourt. Expect Tillman to rack up a ton of minutes as long as Valanciunas remains out.
Our models project Tillman for 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 25.9 FanDuel points across 28.3 minutes of action.
