Ricky Rubio (back) starting for Timberwolves Monday, Jordan McLaughlin with second unit

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio (back) will start on Monday against the Sacramento Kings.

What It Means:

Rubio was upgraded from doubtful to available and he will replace Jordan McLaughlin as the starting point guard after missing the past two games. D'Angelo Russell (knee) is also available for the first time since February and he will play limited minutes off the bench. Jaylen Nowell (leg) and Malik Beasley (hamstring) have both been ruled out.

numberFire’s models project Rubio for 27.7 FanDuel points versus the Kings and he has a salary of $5,700 on Monday’s seven-game slate.
