Marquese Chriss starting, Jared Dudley to Suns' bench
Phoenix Suns power forward Marquese Chriss will enter the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, while Jared Dudley heads to the bench.
What It Means:
Head coach Earl Watson said this will be a permanent change. Chriss is averaging 14.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.8 blocks per-36 minutes, so we'll see how he does on a starter's workload. The 19-year-old is on the fantasy radar in deeper leagues, while Dudley can be released onto waivers.
Chriss is numberFire's top value play on FanDuel for Tuesday night with a $3500 price tag. Our models project him to score 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals versus the Blazers.
