Pelicans' Toney Douglas to start Friday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Toney Douglas will start on Friday versus the Memphis Grizzlies with Orlando Johnson moving to the bench.
What It Means:
Norris Cole (back) is expected to miss his second straight game, and Johnson was ineffective in a start versus the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Jrue Holiday will be running the offense, so Douglas is only worth a look in deeper leagues for owners in need of short-term help.
Douglas owns a -0.4 nERD, which ranks 80th, in 42 games played this season. He's averaging 6.1 points, 1.7 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game while posting a 53.2 True Shooting Percentage. We project Douglas to score 13.7 points, dish out 4.1 assists and grab 2.6 rebounds against Memphis while shooting 39.8 percent from the floor.
