Isaiah Roby starting for Thunder Friday; Derrick Favors to bench
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Isaiah Roby will start Friday in the team's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Roby came off the bench in the season-opener on Wednesday, but that's changing in the second matchup of the year. Derrick Favors will move to a role with the second unit, opening up Roby to get the start down low against Daniel Theis and Co.
Our models project Roby for 9.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 20.8 FanDuel points across 22.0 minutes of action.
