Cavs' Ricky Rubio (knee) to play up to 15 minutes Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said that Ricky Rubio could play up to 15 minutes in Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Rubio has played over 10 minutes in each of his first two games back from his knee injury, so his new "limit" of 15 minutes isn't much of an upgrade. Still, it's a positive sign that the point guard is trending in the right direction and hasn't suffered any setbacks.
Rubio's minutes restrictions limit his fantasy viability, but our models still project him for 14.5 fantasy points against the Pelicans. He has a $4,000 salary on FanDuel.
