Nicolas Batum (ankle) starting Tuesday night for Clippers; Robert Covington back to bench
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Nicolas Batum will start Tuesday in the team's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
Batum got the Clippers' regular season finale off after being a late scratch due to ankle soreness. But in the team's first play-in game, he is back in action. Jackson will immediately return to his role as starting power forward, and as a result, Robert Covington will revert to a bench role.
Our models project Batum for 7.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 21.5 FanDuel points across 28.1 minutes of action.
