Magic's Chuma Okeke (hip) to have minutes limit Monday
Orlando Magic forward Chuma Okeke (hip) will play in Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs, but will have a minutes limit according to Coach Clifford.
What It Means:
Okeke missed yesterday's blowout loss to the Milwaukee Bucks with a hip injury, and now it looks like the Magic will give him a chance to test it out tonight against the Spurs. If he gets the start, Gary Harris would likely rotate back to the bench.
Okeke has a $6,300 salary on FanDuel tonight, and while our models project him for 22 fantasy points, those projections are based on him playing 28.8 minutes. Expectations for both Okeke and Harris tonight should be tempered somewhat.
