Trail Blazers' Tony Snell starting Monday for Norman Powell (knee)

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Tony Snell will start on Monday against the Utah Jazz in place of Norman Powell (knee).

What It Means:

Snell has come off the bench in every appearance this season while only averaging 8.9 minutes per game, so the Trail Blazers may be starting him primarily to maintain continuity with the second unit. Nassir Little and Larry Nance should see more minutes off the bench due to Powell's injury.

numberFire's models project Snell for 11.1 minutes and 6.3 FanDuel points versus the Jazz. He has a minimum $3,500 salary on Monday's slate.
