What It Means:

The injury comes out of nowhere and is a little suspicious a night after Mudiay logged just 18 minutes before being benched. Head coach Mike Malone did say lineup changes were on the horizon, but a complete scratch was unexpected. Jameer Nelson becomes an attractive play while Jamal Murray will get extra run at the point.

Prior to the update, our models had Nelson as a decent DFS play Thursday night, projecting him for 9.3 points, 4.9 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 3-pointers in 27.9 minutes.
