LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) out at least 4 games for Brooklyn
Brooklyn Nets forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) will miss the next four games.
What It Means:
Aldridge will remain out for the rest of the Nets' road trip, but head coach Steve Nash thinks he will return before the NBA All-Star break. The veteran's next chance to play will be on February 8 versus the Boston Celtics. Nicolas Claxton should continue to start and play extra minutes. Blake Griffin and James Johnson are also in line for more work while Aldridge is out.
Claxton is numberFire's fifth-best point-per-dollar value on Tuesday's seven-game slate. He has a $4,100 salary and our models project Claxton for 25.8 FanDuel points over 27.0 minutes.
