P.J. Tucker (calf) available, starting Game 1 for Miami Sunday; Duncan Robinson back to bench
Miami Heat guard/forward P.J. Tucker will start Sunday in the team's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Tucker got the last couple games of the regular season off due to a calf ailment. But in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Playoffs versus Trae Young and the Hawks, the veteran is back in the mix and ready to rock. Tucker will also immediately start in his return, sending Duncan Robinson back to the bench.
Our models project Tucker for 6.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 17.3 FanDuel points across 28.4 minutes of action.
