Aleksej Pokusevski making first career start for Thunder Thursday in place of injured Darius Bazley
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Aleksej Pokusevski is in the starting five Thursday in the team's game against the Dallas Mavericks.
What It Means:
Pokusevski has been in the G-League bubble as of late, but he's returned to the team for the second half of the season. And in his first game back, he'll get a start down low in place of Darius Bazley, who is injured. It's the rookie's first career start.
In 22 games this season, Pokusevski has averaged 2.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 10.2 FanDuel points.
