Nets' Nic Claxton coming off bench Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets big man Nicolas Claxton is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Claxton made his first NBA start on Tuesday and scored 6 points (3-of-4 field goals) with 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block over 21 minutes. The Nets are going with DeAndre Jordan in the first unit against Joel Embiid, but Claxton should still see a fair share of minutes off the bench.
numberFire’s models project Claxton for 29.2 FanDuel points in 26.4 minutes versus the 76ers and he has a salary of $3,700 on Wednesday. Claxton is currently our top overall value on the 11-game slate.
