Pelicans' Lonzo Ball (knees) starting on Tuesday with a minutes restriction
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball (knees) is starting in Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
Ball will make his first appearance since January 8th after a multi-game absence due to bilateral knee tendinopathy. He will be on a minutes restriction, but the exact number is unknown. Eric Bledsoe is expected to remain in the starting lineup as well, which means Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely return to a role off the bench.
The Pelicans are 6.0-point underdogs against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. Their implied team total of 105.75 points is the third-highest team total on Tuesday's two-game main slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
