Dennis Smith Jr. starting for Pistons Sunday in place of injured Delon Wright
Detroit Pistons guard Dennis Smith Jr. will start on Sunday in the team's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Delon Wright is set to miss at least 2 weeks due to a groin injury, leaving a hole atop the Pistons' starting lineup. And for now, it seems as though Smith will be tasked with filling Wright's shoes. Sunday's game should be a good barometer for how the minutes will be handled going forward.
Our models currently project Smith for 11.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 24.1 FanDuel points across 29.8 minutes of action.
