Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington will start Friday in the team's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Mason Plumlee is dealing with a strain in his right calf, and he's been ruled out of action for Friday night's tilt. His absence is leaving a glaring vacancy in the starting lineup down low. In a tough matchup facing off with Karl-Anthony Towns, it will be Washington who gets the starting shot.
Our models currently project Washington for 11.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 24.4 FanDuel points across 24.9 minutes of action.
