Bradley Beal (hamstring) out, Marcus Thornton starting for Wizards
Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (right hamstring) will not play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday and Marcus Thornton will start.
What It Means:
Beal has been battling a right leg issue and the Wizards are on the front end of a back-to-back, so it makes sense for him to take the night off. Expect him back in the lineup on Saturday. Tomas Satoransky should see a minutes boost.
Thornton is projected to score 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 3-pointers versus Cleveland on Friday, according to numberFire's models. We expect Satoransky to score 10.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals.
