76ers expected to start Jahlil Okafor on Sunday
Philadelphia 76ers center Jahlil Okafor (gastroenteritis) is expected to start Sunday against the Detroit Pistons, with center Joel Embiid (rest, elbow) unavailable.
Okafor is still likely looking at 25 minutes in this one, but with Embiid out he could be a fine DFS option on the short slate. Nerlens Noel is making his season debut off the bench, but his minutes limit is unknown at this point. Expect Richaun Holmes to see some run as well.
Our models project Okafor for 26.4 minutes with 14.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.1 blocks against the Pistons.
