Keita Bates-Diop starting for Spurs Friday in place of inactive Keldon Johnson
San Antonio Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop is in the lineup Friday in the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Bates-Diop came off the bench in his first game back from a hamstring injury, but the Spurs are currently in the midst of COVID-19 issues. With three previous starters sidelined, the Ohio State product will step into a starting role - specifically Keldon Johnson's.
Our models project Bates-Diop for 9.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 22.7 FanDuel points across 26.0 minutes of action.
