Larry Nance Jr. (knee) out for Trail Blazers at least a week
Portland Trail Blazers power forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week.
What It Means:
Nance injured his knee during Wednesday's game, but he avoided structural damage and may only miss a week of action. Robert Covington and Nassir Little should see more minutes while Nance is out, and Jusuf Nurkic also stands to benefit. The Trail Blazers are playing the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
Nurkic is currently numberFire's sixth-best point-per-dollar value on Friday's nine-game slate and Covington is a top-20 value. Nurkic has a $6,000 salary and our models project him for 36.5 FanDuel points. RoCo has a $5,200 salary and is projected for 27.4 FanDuel points.
