Gerald Henderson

Gerald Henderson (illness) out for 76ers, Hollis Thompson starting

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Gerald Henderson (illness) will not play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Hollis Thompson will enter Philadelphia's first unit as a result. Henderson logged 32 minutes while playing through the illness, so his absence opens up plenty of opportunity for others. Nik Stauskas has been cooking lately and is a better fantasy bet than Thompson for Wednesday's matchup. Henderson isn't a very appealing fantasy option in standard leagues.

Our models project Stauskas for 9.7 points, 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 3-pointers in 25 minutes of action versus Memphis tonight.
