Andre Drummond (back) questionable for Cavaliers versus Timberwolves
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Andre Drummond (low back soreness) is questionable to play Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
Drummond is feeling sore after scoring 25 points with 22 rebounds in over 30 minutes of work on Sunday night versus the Timberwolves. His absence could lead to a start for Jarrett Allen and minutes for JaVale McGee. There would also likely be more offensive responsibilities for Collin Sexton.
Drummond leads the Cavaliers with a 32.0 percent usage rate this season and his 1.5 FanDuel points per minute ranks fifth among qualified NBA players. numberFire's models project him for 46.6 FanDuel points on Monday and Drummond has a salary of $8,800 for the 10-game slate. The Timberwolves allow the highest rate of player-adjusted FanDuel points per minute to opposing centers (1.39) and the fourth-highest estimated rebounding rate.
