Lu Dort (knee) starting for Thunder on Friday; Aleksej Pokusevski to bench
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Lu Dort is in the lineup Friday in the team's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
Dort has missed the last couple games with a knee ailment, but he didn't carry an injury designation into Friday's game. He has since been given the official green light, resuming his spot in the starting five on the wing. In a corresponding move, Aleksej Pokusevski will revert to a bench role.
Our models project Dort for 16.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 26.5 FanDuel points across 34.3 minutes of action.
