P.J. Tucker (knee) good to go Friday for Heat
Miami Heat guard/forward P.J. Tucker (knee) will start in Friday's Game 6 against the Boston Celtics, per head coach Erik Spoelstra.
Tucker is listed as questionable, but Spoelstra said the Heat will stick with the same starting five on Friday night, indicating that the veteran big man will be out there again. In Game 5, Tucker played 32 minutes and scored 7 points with 11 boards, 2 assists, a steal, and a triple. He went 1-of-5 from three in the contest, but shot 41.5% on 3-pointers in the regular season, so Tucker could potentially benefit from some positive regression to the mean.
numberFire's models project Tucker for 31.2 minutes and 18.1 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has an $8,500 salary on the single-game slate.
