Robert Covington back in the 76ers starting lineup

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Robert Covington (knee) is back in the starting lineup to face the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday.

What It Means:

Covington has missed four of Philly's last five games and will likely be on a minutes restriction on Thursday. The uncertainty in how much court time Covington will see makes him a risky play in DFS. With his return to the starting lineup, Nik Stauskas will go back to the bench for the 76ers.

Despite Covington's horrible shooting -- 30.9 percent field goal percentage -- he's been a useful fantasy asset averaging 8.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.9 three-pointers per game.
