Pacers expect Jeremy Lamb (knee) back Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (left knee soreness) is expected to play versus the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, per head coach Nate Bjorkgren.
What It Means:
Lamb was held out of Monday's game for the first time since returning from a torn left ACL on January 20. Doug McDermott exited early after losing a tooth while fighting for a loose ball in the third quarter. Lamb could be looking at additional minutes on Wednesday if McDermott is unavailable.
Lamb is averaging 22.1 FanDuel points per game and numberFire's models currently project him for 21.2 FanDuel points versus the Cavs on Wednesday. Malcolm Brogdon actually enjoys a 2.7 percent usage increase when Lamb is on the court while Aaron Holiday and Domantas Sabonis' rates both increase by 1.6 percent. Justin Holiday's usage rate only takes a 0.6 percent hit when sharing the floor with Lamb.
