Minnesota's Ricky Rubio starting for inactive D'Angelo Russell (leg) on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio is starting in Wednesday's contest against the Los Angeles Clippers.

What It Means:

Rubio will start at point guard after D'Angelo Russell was ruled out with left leg soreness. In a slow tempo matchup against a Clippers' unit playing with a 98.0 pace, numberFire's models project Rubio to score 28.2 FanDuel points at the salary of $5,000.

Rubio's projection includes 9.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists.
