Ty Lawson (illness) is probable as Nuggets prepare for Toronto

Indiana Pacers point guard Ty Lawson (illness) is probable for Friday's game versus the Toronto Raptors.

What It Means:

He is dealing with an upper respiratory infection, but he's fully expected to play despite missing Wednesday's game. With Lawson back in the rotation as the backup point guard, Rodney Stuckey will lose a few minutes off the bench and Joe Young likely won't play.

Lawson has a nERD of -4.4, placing him outside of the top 100. He is averaging 5.6 points, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 boards per game, and his 47.3 True Shooting Percentage is easily a career low. His previous worst True Shooting Percentage was 52.6.
