Theo Maledon (health protocols) now available Tuesday for Thunder
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Theo Maledon (health protocols) is now available to play in Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
Maledon had previously been ruled out for Tuesday's contest. He missed the last four games and five of the last six. Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander (left knee sprain) will remain out, so Maledon could see a larger role than normal, pending his conditioning. Maledon's return should result in fewer minutes for Kenrich Williams and Justin Jackson.
Maledon is averaging 24.3 FanDuel points per game as a starter this season. He has a salary of $5,000 on Tuesday's six-game slate. The Trail Blazers are allowing the third-most FanDuel points per game to the point guard position this season.
