Nets' Yuta Watanabe (back) questionable Tuesday
Brooklyn Nets power forward Yuta Watanabe (back) is questionable to play Tuesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Watanabe has scored in double-digits in four straight games and he could see extended minutes Tuesday if Nic Claxton (illness) is ruled out. Markieff Morris, Cam Thomas, and Kessler Edwards will have more playing time available if Watanabe and Claxton are both inactive.
numberFire's models project Watanabe for 18.0 minutes and 16.0 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $4,400 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Nets' implied total (113.0) is No. 5 out of eight active teams today and the over/under for the game (218.0) is the lowest on the board.
