Ben McLemore starting for Portland Sunday in place of inactive Norman Powell
Portland Trail Blazers guard Ben McLemore is in the lineup Sunday in the team's game against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
McLemore has been coming off the bench all season to this point, but that will change Sunday night. Norman Powell has been placed in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. He'll leave behind a vacancy in the starting five, and at least for now, that role will go to McLemore.
Our models project McLemore for 12.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 18.8 FanDuel points across 24.0 minutes of action.
