Nicolas Batum back in Clippers' starting lineup Saturday; Ivica Zubac returns to bench
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Nicolas Batum is starting Saturday in the team's game against the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
Last time out, head coach Ty Lue shook up the lineup by swapping out Batum for Ivica Zubac. In Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals, he'll shake it up again. Batum is returning to the first unit, and Zubac will revert to a bench role.
Our models project Batum for 6.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 19.0 FanDuel points across 26.9 minutes of action.
