Steven Adams (ankle) starting in New Orleans' Wednesday lineup, Willy Hernangomez to bench

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) is starting in Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

What It Means:

Adams will start at five after New Orlean's veteran center missed two straight games with an ankle injury. In an underrated matchup against a Pistons' unit ranked 16th in defensive efficiency, our models project Adams to score 24.0 FanDuel points at the salary of $5,400.

Adams' Wednesday projection includes 8.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists.
